美国刚公布的互动图显示了遍布全美47000多个陆地风电机组和相关信息,表明美国持续致力于扩大清洁能源并减少温室气体排放。
作为欧巴马总统推动美国经济朝更清洁的能源发展并减少温室气体排放的气候行动计划(Climate Action Plan)的一项努力,美国国内资源部(Department of the Interior)和美国地质调查局(U.S. Geological Survey)在2月11日公布了美国第一份供公众使用的全国风电机组互动式分布图。
互动图和相关成套地理数据显示了遍布全美的47000多个陆地风电机组及相关信息。
国内资源部部长萨莉·朱厄尔(Sally Jewell)说:这份图为“公共机构和私营企业提供了新的工具,以帮助指导他们作出明智的与景观相关的规划决策,支持国内能源生产同时最大限度地减少冲突”。“这些数据将有助于改善未来风电项目的选址,同时帮助土地管理者制定更与时共进的土里利用和多用途计划。”
风电机组分布图涵盖截至2013年7月已经安装的风电机组,是通过结合联邦航空管理局(Federal Aviation Administration)、美国能源信息管理局(U.S. Energy Information Administration)、橡树岭国家实验室(Oak Ridge National Laboratory)和其他联邦、州和地方现有的公开数据绘制而成。
根据气候行动计划,国内资源部2020年前可以批准在公共土地上生产20000兆瓦可再生能源——足以为超过600万家庭提供电力。自2009年以来,国内资源部已经批准了在公地上建立48个公共事业规模的太阳能、风能和地热项目。这些项目建成后将生产超过13300兆瓦的电力,足够为近462万家庭提供电力。
可通过美国地质调查局网站观看互动图。

U.S. Releases Interactive Map of Nation’s Wind Turbines

An interactive map just released by the United States shows more than 47,000 onshore wind-turbine locations and related information across the nation and demonstrates the ongoing U.S. commitment to expand clean-energy sources and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
As part of President Obama’s Climate Action Plan to move the U.S. economy toward cleaner energy sources and reduce greenhouse gas emissions, the Department of the Interior and the U.S. Geological Survey on February 11 released the nation’s first publicly available interactive map of the nation’s wind turbines.
The map and related geo-dataset show more than 47,000 onshore wind turbines and related information across the entire United States.
The map provides “public agencies and private companies with a new tool to help guide smart landscape-level planning decisions that support domestic energy production while minimizing conflicts,” said Secretary of the Interior Sally Jewell. “The data will help improve the siting of future wind-energy projects as well as aid land managers in devising more up-to-date land-use and multiple-use plans.”
The wind-turbine map, which includes turbines installed as of July 2013, was created by combining publicly available data from the Federal Aviation Administration, the U.S. Energy Information Administration, the Oak Ridge National Laboratory, and other federal, state and local sources.
The Climate Action Plan directs the Department of the Interior to permit 20,000 megawatts of renewable energy on public lands by 2020 — enough energy to power more than 6 million homes. Since 2009, the department has approved 48 solar, wind and geothermal utility-scale projects on public lands. When built, these projects will generate more than 13,300 megawatts, enough energy to power nearly 4.62 million homes.
The interactive map may be accessed on the USGS website.
