There’s a Race to Power the Future. China Is Pulling Away.

 

紐約時報 美國VS中國 (21~22世紀)：世界能源大戰略

北京正在向世界出售清潔能源，華盛頓則大力推動石油和天然氣發展。兩國都出於國家安全的考量。

Beijing is selling clean energy to the world, Washington is pushing oil and gas. Both are driven by national security.

去年，中國安裝的風力渦輪機和太陽能電池板數量超過了世界其他地區的總和。中國的清潔能源熱潮正走向全球。中國企業正在巴西、泰國、摩洛哥、匈牙利等地建造電動車和電池工廠。

同時，在美國，川普總統正在敦促日本和韓國投資「數萬億美元」用於向亞洲輸送天然氣的計畫。通用汽車剛剛取消了在紐約州布法羅附近的一家工廠生產電動車的計劃，轉而投資8.88億美元在那裡生產V-8汽油引擎。

In China, more wind turbines and solar panels were installed last year than in the rest of the world combined. And China’s clean energy boom is going global. Chinese companies are building electric vehicle and battery factories in Brazil, Thailand, Morocco, Hungary and beyond.

At the same time, in the United States, President Trump is pressing Japan and South Korea to invest “trillions of dollars” in a project to ship natural gas to Asia. And General Motors just killed plans to make electric motors at a factory near Buffalo, N.Y., and instead will put $888 million into building V-8 gasoline engines there.
