美国的运转在很大程度上依赖石油和天然气。它是车辆的燃料，也是家庭的供暖来源。它是拖拉机里的柴油——拖拉机种出你的食物，卡车再把食物运到你的杂货店。当生产成本上升、供应下降时，你几乎要为一切支付更多。
So much of America runs on oil and gas. It's fuel in vehicles and heat in homes. It's the diesel in the tractor that grows your food and the truck that hauls it to your grocery store. When it costs more to produce and supply goes down, you pay more for almost everything.
这就是为什么特朗普总统和我今天来到得克萨斯州拉伯克，宣布我们迄今为止为纠正拜登政府代价最高的错误之一而采取的最大举措。环保署新提出的改革拜登时代石油和天然气规则的提案，预计将为美国人节省450亿美元。它还将额外释放约2.1亿桶美国石油和1.41万亿立方英尺天然气。
That's why President Trump and I were in Lubbock, Texas, today to announce our biggest step yet to fix one of the Biden administration's costliest mistakes. EPA's new proposal to overhaul the Biden-era oil and natural gas rules is expected to save Americans $45 billion. It would also unleash an estimated 210 million more barrels of American oil and 1.41 trillion cubic feet of natural gas.
2024年，拜登的环保署对石油和天然气生产商强加了一刀切的规定，从最大的公司到只有一口井的家庭都未能幸免。根据其自己的估算，该规则将造成180亿美元的损失，并推高天然气价格，而即便是这些估算也太低了。更糟的是，拜登的环保署拒绝承认生产商一再告诉我们的情况：这些规则将关闭现有油井，并让新井永远无法开钻。
In 2024, the Biden EPA slapped one-size-fits-all mandates on oil and gas producers, from the biggest companies to families with a single well. By its own estimate, the rule would cost $18 billion and push natural gas prices higher, and even those estimates were too low. Worse, the Biden EPA refused to admit what producers told us again and again: these rules would shut down existing wells and keep new ones from ever opening.
生产商不会自己吸收这些成本。承担的是你。你在加油站、在取暖账单上、在收银台前都要多付钱，因为农民为柴油支付更多，就不得不为他们的农作物收取更多。
Producers don't absorb those costs. You do. You pay at the pump, on your heating bill and at the checkout line, because farmers paying more for diesel have to charge more for their crops.
没有人比美国边际井所有者受到的打击更重。全国约78.3万口油气井——大约79%——是小型、低产井，许多位于家庭土地上。家庭用它们来取暖、运行农用设备、积攒退休储蓄。拜登的规则本会迫使这些油井大规模关闭。
Nobody was hit harder than America's marginal well owners. About 783,000 of the nation's oil and gas wells, roughly 79 percent, are small, low-producing wells, many on family land. Families use them to heat their homes, run their farm equipment and build their retirement. The Biden rule would have forced mass closures of these wells.
我们的提案解决了这一问题。我们提议针对不同类型的井场制定单独且可行的标准，这样，家庭的低产井就不会被当作大型作业来对待。我们提议终止所谓的“超级排放者”计划，该计划既不必要又无效，且法律依据不稳。对于与石油一同开采出的天然气，我们正在恢复一项常识性标准：95%效率的火炬燃烧或其他控制措施，而不是要求每一丝天然气都必须进入销售管线——在许多产区，这种管线根本不存在。
Our proposal fixes that. We are proposing separate, workable standards for different kinds of well sites, so a family's stripper well isn't treated like a major operation. We are proposing to end the so-called super emitter program, which is unnecessary, ineffective and built on shaky legal ground. And for the natural gas that comes up alongside oil, we are restoring a commonsense standard: 95 percent efficient flaring or other controls, instead of a mandate that every bit of it reach a sales line that simply doesn't exist in many producing areas.
保护人类健康和环境是环保局的核心使命，这一点不会改变。《清洁空气法》要求标准必须是排放源实际能够达到的。拜登政府的环保局鼓吹“零排放”要求，却无视现有规则已经要求减排95%，然后在其规则中塞满豁免条款来掩盖这一差距。
Protecting human health and the environment is EPA's core mission, and that isn't changing. The Clean Air Act requires standards that sources can actually achieve. The Biden EPA touted "zero emissions" requirements while ignoring that existing rules already required 95 percent reductions, then stuffed its rule with exemptions to paper over the gap.
我们正在制定符合现实的规则，我们希望听取最了解情况的各州和运营者的意见。
We are writing rules that match reality, and we want to hear from the states and operators who know it best.
除了今天的宣布之外，特朗普政府的环保局已经取得了一系列胜利，这些胜利在总统所到之处都广受欢迎，得克萨斯州也不例外。过去一年中，该机构最终确定了创纪录的1.6万亿美元放松监管节省，这是一项历史性努力，正在通过常识性行动推进消费者选择并降低车辆、能源、食品等方面的成本，证明我们能够同时保护环境和发展经济。
Beyond today’s announcement, the Trump EPA has racked up a series of wins that have proven popular everywhere the President has traveled, and Texas is no exception. Over the past year, the agency finalized a record $1.6 trillion in deregulatory savings, a historic effort that is advancing consumer choice and lowering costs on vehicles, energy, food, and more with common-sense actions that prove we can protect the environment and grow the economy at the same time.
仅废除2009年奥巴马时代的危害认定就带来了1.3万亿美元的成本节省，使车辆更加可负担，同时消除了几乎人人厌恶的启停功能背后的联邦激励——该功能在每个红灯处都会熄火。这与拜登政府环保局强加给美国家庭和经济的1.3万亿美元不必要规则形成了鲜明对比。
The repeal of the 2009 Obama-era Endangerment Finding alone delivered $1.3 trillion in cost savings and made vehicles more affordable, while eliminating the federal incentive behind the almost universally hated start/stop feature that killed engines at every red light. That stands in stark contrast to the $1.3 trillion in unnecessary rules the Biden EPA piled onto American families and the economy.
特朗普政府的环保署还采取了积极行动，撤销了柴油机尾气处理液（DEF）相关的削减规定，这些规定曾让农民和卡车司机被困在路边和田间。约翰迪尔公司现已更新了2026年秋季收获季的所有主要机型，以符合环保署的指导意见，该机构正在敲定一项新的放松监管提案，拟永久取消对新车、非道路设备和发动机的所有DEF削减要求。
The Trump EPA has also moved aggressively to reverse the Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) deratements that left farmers and truckers stranded on the side of the road and in the field. John Deere has now updated all major models for the Fall 2026 harvest to align with EPA’s guidance, and the agency is finalizing a new deregulatory proposal to permanently remove all DEF deratement requirements on new vehicles, non-road equipment and engines.
在此基础上，环保署依据《清洁空气法》保护了美国人修理自己拖拉机和非道路设备的权利，并于今年7月采取进一步行动，按照特朗普总统的备忘录推进“修理自由”。
Building on that work, EPA has protected Americans’ Right to Repair their own tractors and non-road equipment under the Clean Air Act, and this past July took further action to advance the Freedom to Fix in accordance with President Trump’s memo.
这里的道理很简单。当美国生产商能够生产时，美国就会赢——通过更低的汽油和柴油价格、更低的取暖费、更低的食品杂货成本以及更多高薪能源工作岗位。井口成本降低和能源供应增加意味着你的钱包里有更多钱。
The math here is simple. When American producers can produce, America wins through lower gas and diesel prices, lower heating bills, lower grocery costs and more good-paying energy jobs. Lower costs at the well and higher energy supplies mean more money in your wallet.
特朗普总统承诺结束对美国能源的战争，这项提案是又一个兑现的承诺。
President Trump promised to end the war on American energy and this proposal is one more promise kept.
