供暖季节已经到来，伊朗战争被指责为导致能源价格上涨的原因。战争解释了价格上涨的时机。但它并不能解释这种脆弱性。美国生产大量石油和天然气。为什么当波斯湾局势升温时，价格会飙升？因为石油在全球市场交易。任何地方的危机都会导致全球价格波动。但真正的问题是，州层面的政策阻碍了我们真正释放国内能源供应的丰收。
Heating season is here, and the Iran war is getting the blame for higher energy prices. The war explains the timing. It doesn't explain the vulnerability. America produces enormous amounts of oil and gas. Why do prices jump when the Persian Gulf flares? Because oil trades on a world market. A crisis anywhere moves prices everywhere. But the real problem is policies at the state level that have kept us from truly unleashing the bounty of our domestic energy supply.
雪佛龙首席执行官警告称，伊朗冲突已对全球石油供应构成“非常真实”的威胁，随着天然气价格攀升。有充分文献记载表明，我们存在炼油能力不足的问题。该国目前有130座可运行的炼油厂，而1982年这一数字为301座；自1976年以来，美国尚未建成任何大型新炼油厂。就在东北地区，当我们失去费城能源解决方案公司的工厂时，我们每天损失了约33.5万桶的产能。
CHEVRON CEO WARNS IRAN CONFLICT HAS CREATED 'VERY REAL' THREAT TO GLOBAL OIL SUPPLIES AS GAS PRICES CLIMB It’s been well documented that we have a refinery shortage. The country has 130 operable refineries, down from 301 in 1982, and no major new refinery has been built in the U.S. since 1976. Here in the Northeast, when we lost the Philadelphia Energy Solutions plant, we lost about 335,000 barrels a day.
在我的家乡州纽约，就像许多其他州一样，我们也存在自我施加的供应问题。天然气通过管道输送，而纽约州阻塞了这些管道。邻近的宾夕法尼亚州坐拥全国一些最丰富的天然气田。如果建成，宪法管道将输送该天然气124英里，其中在纽约州将新增99英里的通行权。美国企业不被允许建设。是时候让国会帮助他们了。
In my home state of New York, like so many other states, we also have a self-imposed supply problem. Natural gas moves through pipelines, and New York has blocked those pipelines. Pennsylvania, right next door, sits on some of the richest gas fields in the country. The Constitution Pipeline, if constructed, would carry that natural gas 124 miles, with 99 miles of new right-of-way in New York. AMERICAN BUSINESSES AREN’T ALLOWED TO BUILD. IT’S TIME CONGRESS HELPED THEM The fight to build this much-needed pipeline is now 10 years old.
建设这条急需管道的斗争如今已有10年历史。2016年4月，该州拒绝了其用水许可证申请。法院维持了这一决定。公司于2025年再次尝试申请，但在11月因收到三次通知称其申请材料不完整后选择撤回。而且问题远不止于一条管道。设计不周的气候法律设定了广泛的减排目标，而实现这些目标的计划要么薄弱，要么根本不可实现。
In April 2016, the state denied the water permit. Courts upheld it. The company tried again in 2025, then withdrew in November after three notices that its application was incomplete. And the problem runs deeper than one pipeline. Ill-conceived climate laws set sweeping emissions targets, and the plan to reach them is thin if not unattainable.
以纽约市的地方法97为例。该法对超过排放限制的大型建筑处以罚款，且这些限制将在2030年大幅收紧。建筑业主必须为昂贵的改造付费，或支付罚款。
Take New York City's Local Law 97. It fines large buildings that exceed emissions limits, and the limits tighten sharply in 2030. Owners must pay for costly retrofits or pay penalties.
不管怎样，这项法案最终都会落在租户、合作社业主和小企业身上。您的电费今年夏天飙升的真正原因会让您感到惊讶。在太多州首府，民主党人似乎决心切断其他可靠且具成本效益的能源来源。核反应堆和燃煤电厂已经关闭，而它们为公民提供了急需的能源，尤其是低收入家庭。与此同时，公用事业账单持续攀升，加油变得更加痛苦，卡车司机和货运公司则面临柴油价格的惩罚性上涨——而这当然会推高从木材到午餐肉的一切成本。
Either way, the bill lands on tenants, co-op owners and small businesses. THE REAL REASON YOUR ELECTRIC BILL IS SOARING THIS SUMMER WILL SURPRISE YOU Democrats in too many state capitals seem determined to choke off other reliable and cost-effective energy sources. Nuclear reactors and coal plants have closed down, both of which supply much-needed energy to citizens, especially low-income families. Meanwhile, the utility bills keep climbing, filling your gas tank becomes more painful, and truckers and shippers face punishing prices for diesel, which, of course, trickles down to raise the cost of everything from lumber to lunch meat.
参议员们敦促特朗普总统在价格飙升之际释放家庭取暖油储备。我在能源和公用事业行业工作了20多年。能源不是抽象概念。它是管道、电线、钢铁和供应。在需求保持不变的情况下限制供应，价格就会上升。这是算术，而非意识形态。而冬天让情况变得更加残酷。在最冷的日子里，当管道满负荷运行时，公用事业公司会争相寻找替代方案，而这些替代方案成本更高。
SENATORS PRESS PRESIDENT TRUMP TO RELEASE HOME HEATING OIL RESERVES AMID SOARING PRICES I’ve spent over 20 years in the energy and utility industry. Energy is not abstract. It is pipe, wire, steel and supply. Limit supply while demand holds, and prices rise. That is arithmetic, not ideology. And winter makes it more brutal. On the coldest days, when pipes run full, utilities scramble for alternatives and alternatives cost more.
固定收入家庭无法选择退出。他们只能调低恒温器，再多穿一件毛衣。特朗普政府正采取行动废除拜登的标志性环境规则。无论政治立场如何，这都应该让每个人感到担忧。一个不生产或不进口自身燃料的州不会变得独立。它只会成为一个客户。它在全球范围内竞争供应，接受无论什么价格——包括它无法影响的战争所定的价格。
Families on fixed incomes can't opt out. They lower the thermostat and pull on another sweater. TRUMP ADMIN MOVES TO GUT BIDEN'S SIGNATURE ENVIRONMENTAL RULES Here is what should bother everyone, whatever their politics. A state that won't produce or import its own fuel doesn't become independent. It becomes a customer. It bids against the world for supply and accepts whatever price is asked, including prices set by wars it can't influence.
修建这条急需输气管道的斗争已经持续了10年。2016年4月，该州拒绝了该项目的用水许可。法院维持了这一决定。公司于2025年再次尝试申请，但在收到三次申请材料不完整的通知后，于11月撤回了申请。解决方案是什么？批准具有国内输气能力的管道项目。在真正的替代能源建成并经过测试之前，保持可靠的发电厂运行。批准新建炼油厂的建设。
The fight to build this much-needed pipeline is now 10 years old. In April 2016, the state denied the water permit. Courts upheld it. The company tried again in 2025, then withdrew in November after three notices that its application was incomplete. What's the solution? Approve pipeline projects with capacity that bring in domestic gas. Keep reliable power plants running until real replacements are built and tested. Approve the construction of new refineries.
坦诚面对气候政策的成本，并以工薪家庭能够承受的速度逐步实施。应以账单降低和供应稳定来衡量成功，而非剪彩仪式。今年11月，那些致力于美国能源独立、支持我们丰富能源供应的生产和精炼合理且有力扩展的人们。
Be honest about what climate mandates cost and phase them in at a pace working families can afford. Judge success by lower bills and steady supply, not ribbon-cuttings. es this November who are dedicated to American energy independence, supporting sensible and robust expansion of both production and refinement of our own bountiful energy supply.
