Trump Looks To Undo Biden Climate Progress With Burgum As 'Energy Czar': Report
President-elect Donald Trump is considering appointing an "energy czar," a role that would have the authority to nix environmental regulations and increase U.S. fossil fuel production.
當選總統特朗普正在考慮任命一位"能源 czar",這個角色將有權取消環保法規並增加美國化石燃料的生產。
What Happened: Trump is looking to appoint an overseer of deregulation efforts across various agencies, including the Department of Energy, Department of Interior, Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, and Environmental Protection Agency.
發生了什麼:特朗普希望任命一個監管各個機構放松管制工作的負責人,包括能源部、內政部、聯邦能源監管委員會和環保署。
According to the Financial Times, North Dakota Gov. and billionaire Doug Burgum is the frontrunner for this so-called energy czar position.

Burgum initially competed in the Republican primary before endorsing Trump. He previously headed Great Plains Software, becoming its president in 1984, and selling the company to Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ:MSFT) in 2001 for $1.1 billion.
伯格姆最初在共和黨初選中競選,之後支持特朗普。他曾擔任大平原軟件的總裁,並於1984年成爲其總裁,並於2001年以11億的價格將該公司出售給微軟 corp. (NASDAQ:MSFT)。
He has also served on the board of Atlassian Corp. (NASDAQ:TEAM) and most recently served as an energy advisor to Trump during his latest presidential campaign.
他還曾擔任 atlassian 的董事會成員,並最近在特朗普最新的總統競選中擔任能源顧問。
Why It Matters: The news coincides with John Podesta, Biden's lead climate diplomat, appearing at the UN climate summit in Baku, Azerbaijan, Monday. He called the Nov. 5 presidential election outcome "bitterly disappointing."
重要性:這條資訊恰逢拜登的氣候首席外交官約翰·波德斯塔週一在阿塞拜疆巴庫的聯合國氣候峯會上發言。他稱11月5日的總統選舉結果爲"極其令人失望"。
Over the past four years, the Biden Administration expanded clean energy initiatives and produced more oil than the previous Trump Administration.
在過去四年中,拜登政府擴大了清潔能源倡議,生產的石油比前特朗普政府更多。
Ali Zaidi, Biden's national climate adviser, will likely be replaced with an energy czar as president-elect Trump targets current climate and energy regulations (i.e., vehicle emissions rules and lifting restrictions on oil and gas drilling).
拜登的國家氣候顧問阿里·扎伊迪可能會被一位能源czar取代,因爲當選總統特朗普瞄準當前的氣候和能源法規(即,車輛排放規則以及解除對石油和天然氣鑽探的限制)。
Analysts have said such changes could spell trouble for the clean energy and electric vehicle industry, but could be a boon for oil and gas companies.
分析人士表示,此類變化可能會對清潔能源和電動汽車行業造成麻煩,但可能會對石油和天然氣公司帶來好處。
EV-makers including Rivian Automotive, Inc. (NASDAQ:RIVN) and Lucid Group, Inc. (NASDAQ:LCID) could see fewer sales if the Trump administration pulls rebates and tax incentives. However, oil and gas companies like Exxon Mobil Corp. (NYSE:XOM) and Chevron Corp. (NYSE:CVX) could see increased profits as Trump has vowed to lift restrictions on drilling and traditional energy production.
包括Rivian Automotive, Inc. (納斯達克:RIVN) 和Lucid Group, Inc. (納斯達克:LCID)在內的電動車製造商,如果特朗普政府取消補貼和稅收優惠,可能會看到銷量減少。然而,像埃克森美孚公司(紐交所:XOM)和雪佛龍公司(紐交所:CVX)這樣的石油和天然氣公司,隨着特朗普承諾放寬鑽探和傳統能源生產的限制,可能會看到利潤增加。
Investors can also monitor the effects of potential policy changes in the broader EV sector through the iShares Self-Driving EV and Tech ETF (NYSE:IDRV) and oil through the ProShares Ultra Bloomberg Crude Oil ETF (NYSE:UCO).
