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名「能源czar」，該角色將擁有否決環保法規並增加美國化石燃料生產的權力。
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.
事件過程：特朗普尋求任命一個監督各機構的放松管制努力的人，包括能源部、內政部、聯邦能源監管委員會和環境保護局。
According to the Financial Times, North Dakota Gov. and billionaire Doug Burgum is the frontrunner for this so-called energy czar position.
根據《金融時報》，北達科他州州長、億萬富翁道格·伯格姆是這個所謂的能源czar職位的最有可能人選。

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.
伯格姆最初參加了共和黨初選，然後表態支持特朗普。他曾領導Great Plains Software，並於1984年成爲其總裁，並在2001年以11億美元的價格將該公司出售給微軟公司(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.
他還曾在Atlassian Corp.(NASDAQ:TEAM)董事會任職，並在特朗普最新總統競選期間擔任過能源顧問。
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：這一消息與拜登領導的氣候外交官約翰·波德斯塔同時出現在上週一在阿塞拜疆巴庫舉行的聯合國氣候峯會上。他稱11月5日的總統選舉結果是『非常令人失望的』。
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計劃，並且比特朗普政府生產更多石油。
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·扎迪可能會被一個能源czar取代，因爲當選總統特朗普針對現行的氣候和能源法規（即車輛排放規則以及取消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.
分析師表示，這些變化可能給清潔能源和電動汽車行業帶來麻煩，但可能對石油和天然氣公司有利。
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.（NASDAQ:RIVN）和Lucid Group, Inc.（NASDAQ:LCID）在內的電動汽車製造商，如果特朗普政府取消折扣和稅收激勵，可能會減少銷量。然而，埃克森美孚股份有限公司（NYSE:XOM）和雪佛龍股份有限公司（NYSE:CVX）等石油和天然氣公司可能會因特朗普誓言取消鑽探和傳統能源生產限制而增加利潤。
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).
投資者還可以通過納斯達克的iShares Self-Driving EV and Tech ETF（NYSE:IDRV）以及紐交所的proshares 兩倍做多彭博原油etf（NYSE:UCO）來監測廣泛的電動汽車行業潛在政策變化的影響以及石油行情。
