犹他州盐湖城州长考克斯入选《时代》2026气候百人榜 地热与核能成亮点

《时代》杂志11月9日公布2026年“时代100气候领袖”名单,犹他州州长斯潘塞·考克斯入选,与能源企业家、环保组织者及知名活动人士并列。考克斯现任西部州长协会主席,是名单上为数不多的保守派人士之一。名单肯定了犹他州通过核能、地热与电网项目扩大电力供应的努力。今年6月,考克斯牵头10位州长组成的联盟呼吁扩大电网建设;今年内他还宣布在布里格姆市打造核能生态系统。地热方面,费沃能源公司的角站地热项目预计发电400兆瓦,可供约20万户家庭用电;米尔福德一处地热设施上月售出首批396兆瓦电力。不过,环保团体批评考克斯在公共土地保护与绿色能源方面的记录。考克斯本人尚未就入选发表评论。名单发布同日,犹他州一项许可改革方案也已进入审议程序。
Salt Lake City, Utah: Governor Cox Named to TIME100 Climate 2026; Geothermal and Nuclear Energy Highlighted
TIME magazine released its 2026 TIME100 Climate list on November 9, and Utah Governor Spencer Cox is on it, alongside energy entrepreneurs, environmental organizers and prominent activists. Cox currently chairs the Western Governors' Association and is one of the few conservatives on the list.
The list recognized Utah's efforts to expand electricity supply through nuclear, geothermal and grid projects. In June, Cox led a coalition of ten governors calling for expanded grid construction, and this year he also announced plans to build a nuclear energy ecosystem in Brigham City. On geothermal, Fervo Energy's Cape Station project is expected to generate 400 megawatts, enough for about 200,000 homes; a geothermal facility in Milford sold its first 396 megawatts of power last month. Environmental groups, however, criticize Cox's record on public lands protection and green energy. Cox himself has not yet commented on the honor. The same day the list was released, a Utah permitting reform proposal also entered the review process.
