Chevron Slams Biden's LNG Export Pause, Touts Natural Gas For AI Growth: Report
Wirth further remarked that "AI's advancement will depend not just on the innovation hubs of Silicon Valley but also on the natural gas fields of the Permian Basin," per Reuters.The Biden administration announced a pause on pending decisions on liquefied natural gas (LNG) exports back in January.
拜登政府於一月份宣佈暫停關於液化天然氣（LNG）出口的待決決定。
And Chevron Corporation (NYSE:CVX) CEO Michael Wirth hasn't been happy about it.
紐交所雪佛龍公司（NYSE:CVX）首席執行官邁克爾·維爾斯對此感到不滿。
What Happened: In a speech at the GasTech conference in Houston on Tuesday, Wirth predicted that the permitting halt will lead to higher energy costs, jeopardize supplies for America's European allies, and increase emissions by delaying the shift from coal to gas, reported Bloomberg.
事件經過：據彭博社報道，維爾斯在休斯敦的GasTech會議上發表講話時預測，准許暫停將導致能源成本上升，危及美國的歐洲盟友供應，並通過延遲從煤炭轉向天然氣而增加排放量。
Wirth further remarked that "AI's advancement will depend not just on the innovation hubs of Silicon Valley but also on the natural gas fields of the Permian Basin," per Reuters.
維爾斯進一步表示，"AI的進步不僅取決於硅谷的創新中心，還取決於佩爾米安盆地的天然氣田。"
He also criticized the Biden administration for imposing a moratorium on LNG exports, advocating instead for an end to its criticism of natural gas. Additionally, Wirth proposed that moving from coal to gas could represent "the most significant carbon reduction effort ever."
他還批評拜登政府對LNG出口實施禁令，建議停止對天然氣的批評。此外，維爾斯提議從煤炭轉向天然氣可能代表"有史以來最重要的碳減排努力"。
Why It Matters: President Joe Biden said in a statement in January, "This pause on new LNG approvals sees the climate crisis for what it is: the existential threat of our time,"
爲什麼這很重要：喬·拜登總統在一月份的一份聲明中說：「這次對新LNG批准的暫停將以氣候危機的方式看待：我們時代面臨的生存威脅。」
There's also concern that the rise of artificial intelligence data centers have high power demands, which can undermine U.S. climate goals. The White House established a task force on AI Datacenter Infrastructure to align policies with economic and environmental objectives.
還有一種擔憂是人工智能數據中心的快速增長會對能源需求提出更高要求，這可能威脅到美國的氣候目標。白宮建立了一個關於AI數據中心基礎設施的工作組，以將政策與經濟和環境目標相協調。
Last week, Chevron Shipping teamed up with Mitsui O.S.K. Lines (MOL) to install the Wind Challenger, a wind-assisted propulsion system, on a new LNG carrier.
上週，雪佛龍船舶與三井日本海洋航運（MOL）合作，在一艘新的LNG運輸船上安裝了一種風助推動系統「Wind Challenger」。
