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.
当选总统唐纳德·特朗普正在考虑任命一位 “能源沙皇”，该职位将有权取消环境法规并增加美国的化石燃料产量。
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.
发生了什么：特朗普正在寻求任命一名监督员，监督包括能源部、内政部、联邦能源监管委员会和环境保护署在内的各机构的放松管制工作。
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.
在支持特朗普之前，Burgum最初参加了共和党初选。他曾领导大平原软件，于1984年出任总裁，并于2001年以11亿美元的价格将公司出售给微软公司（纳斯达克股票代码：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.
他还曾在Atlassian Corp.（纳斯达克股票代码：TEAM）的董事会任职，最近在特朗普最近的总统竞选期间担任能源顾问。
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."
为何重要：该消息恰逢拜登首席气候外交官约翰·波德斯塔周一出席在阿塞拜疆巴库举行的联合国气候峰会。他称11月5日的总统大选结果 “非常令人失望”。
Over the past four years, the Biden Administration expanded clean energy initiatives and produced more oil than the previous Trump Administration.
在过去的四年中，拜登政府扩大了清洁能源计划，生产的石油比上届特朗普政府还多。
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).
拜登的国家气候顾问阿里·扎伊迪很可能会被能源沙皇取代，因为当选总统特朗普将目标对准当前的气候和能源法规（即车辆排放规定和取消对石油和天然气钻探的限制）。
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.
分析师表示，这样的变化可能会给清洁能源和电动汽车行业带来麻烦，但可能会为石油和天然气公司带来福音。
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.
如果特朗普政府取消回扣和税收优惠，包括Rivian Automotive, Inc.（纳斯达克股票代码：RIVN）和Lucid集团公司（纳斯达克股票代码：LCID）在内的电动汽车制造商的销量可能会减少。但是，由于特朗普发誓要取消对钻探和传统能源生产的限制，埃克森美孚公司（纽约证券交易所代码：XOM）和雪佛龙公司（纽约证券交易所代码：CVX）等石油和天然气公司的利润可能会增加。
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).
投资者还可以通过iShares自动驾驶电动汽车和科技ETF（纽约证券交易所代码：IDRV）和通过ProShares Ultra Bloomberg原油ETF（纽约证券交易所代码：UCO）监测整个电动汽车行业潜在政策变化的影响。
