美国正迎来一场双重“能源选举”。中期选举在一定程度上是对伊朗战争及其对燃油价格影响的公投。此外还有数据中心，以及人们担心为人工智能供电会推高电费。
America is getting an energy election twice over. The midterms are in part a referendum on the Iran war and its impact on fuel prices. Then there are data centers and worries that powering artificial intelligence will push up electricity bills.
随着民生问题主导话语，气候变化鲜少受到关注，尽管随着对保险费用的担忧加剧，它潜伏在背景中。根据非党派的库克政治报告，在被视为势均力敌的14场参议院竞选中，只有两名候选人在其网站上提及“气候变化”：得克萨斯州的民主党人詹姆斯·塔拉里科和密歇根州的阿卜杜勒·埃尔-赛义德。
As pocketbook concerns dominate the conversation, climate change gets little attention, although it lurks in the background as worries mount about the cost of insurance. Of the 14 candidates in Senate races deemed to be tossups by the nonpartisan Cook Political Report, just two mention “climate change” on their websites: Democrats James Talarico in Texas and Abdul El-Sayed in Michigan.
