Former Boem (Boem) former director Amanda Lefton, after the agency raised the industry and limited the development of fossil fuels on her watch, worked at a major maritime company.

Lefton took the lead in Biden the government to strive to establish 30 Gaval offshore wind energy as a leader of BOEM from 2030 to 2030. In February 2023, according to her LinkedIn profile. Then, she began to study the green energy -related issues of the DC Law Firm Foley Hoag LLC for about six months, and then joined the main participant in the off -shore wind space RWE as the person in charge of the development of the east coast and the east coast in July 2023.

In view of the incest relationship between Biden Boem and the wind energy industry, this is not surprising. On Ms. Lefton's watch, the agency helped SO-FAR's catastrophic vineyard project. BOEM even abandoned the financial guarantee request to protect the taxpayer from the project after completing the project (and in the Gulf, it is modifying these same requirements to make small oil and natural gas companies close), “Protecting the Public Trust Foundation Director Michael Chamberlain told the “Daily Calls News Foundation”. Essence This rotating door has been rotating anywhere where the Biden government and the climate department meet. The player remained unchanged. The only thing changed was who signed a salary. ” (Related: Rotating door: CNN took less than 48 hours before hiring Comey's assistant)

RWE is headquartered in Germany, but has offices in New York City and other American cities. company Become In 2022, the largest offshore wind lease holder in the wild leasing area in New York, in the same year, it won the lease of floating maritime development in the coastal areas of Northern California.

A RWE spokesman told DCNF in a comment on behalf of Lefton: “RWE complies with all the laws and regulations of all interest conflicts.” The company did not solve the issue of lefton compensation, or her in -depth understanding of BOEM's understanding of whether she decided to hire her in the company to hire her The decision played any role.

Sam Eaton, CEO of RWE Kinkshand Holdings Company, praised Lefton's “navigation in all levels of government”, which helped approve her two main offshore wind farms during the BOEM period during the BOEM to solve her to solve her of her. recruitment.

As Chamberlain pointed out in his statement, Leadon allows wind energy to take into account the thoughts and attention of stakeholders. “

However, when the turbine blade of the development project fails and breaks into the Atlantic Ocean, the vineyard style has become the theme of controversy. The resulting fragments floated to the nearby beach, forcing them to close, because the workers cleared the pollution and irritated the locals.

In addition, Boem in December 2023 in the most stringent five -year oil and gas leasing timetable in modern history in the United States. Although Lefton no longer operates the agency at that time, Boem released a timetable for about 500 days, which means that when Lefton is responsible for BOEM, the agent dragged his feet on the oil and natural gas leasing plan.

Lefton is also an existing opponent who continues to use fossil fuels for a long time. He said to E & E News in May 2022: “We must transition to clean and renewable energy to fight climate change.” She likes such a policy. Increase climate costs into the social costs of oil and natural gas leasing and using carbon indicators. The media later reported on January 24 that Kathy Hochul, Governor of the Democratic New York State, is considering nominated the leftist to manage the state's environmental protection department.
