摘要：Pakistan, which has for years treated gas generation as the backbone of its power network, has been asking suppliers to defer ship

正文翻译

Pakistan, which has for years treated gas generation as the backbone of its power network, has been asking suppliers to defer shipments of liquefied natural gas after a surge of solar imports suppressed grid demand. Saudi Arabia is facing one of the fastest declines in petroleum usage anywhere as photovoltaic farms replace fuel oil generators.

巴基斯坦多年来一直将天然气发电视为其电网的支柱，但在太阳能设备进口激增导致电网需求下降后，该国已要求供应商推迟液化天然气的运输。沙特阿拉伯正面临全球范围内石油使用率下降最快的情况之一，因为光伏电站正在取代燃油发电机。

Analysts are talking about a supply glut of oil for 2025/26 lowering oil prices. Are we finally at the point oil use is going to start declining? Fingers crossed, let's hope so.

分析师们认为，2025至2026年期间石油供应过剩将压低油价。我们是否终于迎来石油使用量开始下降的拐点？愿好运降临，我们都希望如此。

Meanwhile, China is almost single-handedly building the world's replacement.

与此同时，几乎是中国单方面在为世界构建能源替代体系。

China’s Marshall Plan is running on batteries: Beijing’s green energy projects are bringing jobs, growth and cheap electricity to the developing world

中国版“马歇尔计划”靠“电池”驱动：中国政府的绿色能源项目正为发展中国家带来就业机会、经济增长与廉价电力。

The entire western world really dropped the fucking ball on transitioning to the technologies of the 21st century. Too much money in politics from people who earn their money in 20th century technologies.

整个西方世界在向21世纪技术转型的过程中，确实搞砸了。政界有太多资金来自那些靠20世纪技术赚钱的人。

They're really not doing 'capitalism is the most efficient means of distributing resources' arguments any favors.

他们这番言论，对“资本主义是资源配置最高效方式”的论调毫无帮助。

You forgot the silent part:'capitalism is the most efficient means of distributing resources to those having the most resources.'

你漏了没说出口的那半句：“资本主义是将资源配置给资源最多者的最高效方式。”

cbbbluedevil

In this case efficiency just means profitable

在这种情况下，“高效”说白了就是“能盈利”。

The problem was we weren't capitalisming hard enough. Just wait till the G7 countries adopt the Milei model.

问题在于我们的“资本主义”践行得还不够彻底。等着瞧吧，等G7国家采用米莱模式就知道了。

Capitalism is about controlling the capital. Whoever has the most capital wins. It has nothing to do with resources, distribution, a market, etc etc

资本主义的核心是掌控资本。谁拥有最多资本，谁就是赢家。这与资源、资源配置、市场等毫无关系。

that’s mostly because capitalism was put aside, so that people from old industries can make the money. All hail the regulators!In free market, fossil fuels no longer stand a chance.

这主要是因为资本主义被束之高阁了，好让传统行业的人继续赚钱。向监管者致敬吧！在自由市场中，化石燃料早已没有立足之地。

True capitalism worked, what we have now is crony capitalism.What's to stop true capitalism from becoming crony capitalism? Seems like we needed regulations to stop that... regulations which would prevent "true capitalism" from being "true capitalism". Otherwise, of course, money means power and power means power concentration is inevitable.

真正的资本主义是有效的，我们现在所处的是裙带资本主义。可谁能阻止真正的资本主义演变成裙带资本主义呢？似乎我们需要监管来遏制这种情况……但这些监管又会让“真正的资本主义”不再是“真正的资本主义”。否则，金钱必然意味着权力，而权力集中也将不可避免。

Edit: I also love when people talk about how "Actually capitalism kicks ass" in a thread about how China's federal investment program is just as good as America's old federal investment program. Seems like when we don't just let capitalists do whatever the fuck, and we have a very strong plan from the government to achieve something, things get better.

补充一点：我觉得很有意思的是，在一个讨论中国政府投资计划堪比美国昔日政府投资计划的帖子里，居然有人说“其实资本主义超厉害”。显然，当我们不任由资本家为所欲为，且政府制定强有力的计划去实现某个目标时，事情就会往好的方向发展。

Even the guy a lot of people consider the "father of capitalism" was pro-regulation, so I can kind of understand where those people were coming from.

即便是很多人眼中的“资本主义之父”，也支持监管，所以我多少能理解那些人的出发点。

That said the point that anyone to the left of capitalism tries to get across is that no matter how regulated capitalism is, its prone to falling into "crony" capitalism because the accumulation of wealth gives people too much power over the government in that kind of society. They almost destroyed it back during the Great Depression, then a health dose of socialist policy saved it. Now we have undone all those policies and we are falling right back into another inevitable depression. Both times it was the fault of the ultra rich and their unchecked power. Capitalism creates those people inherently, so you can't really avoid the trap unless you become mostly socialist anyway.

话虽如此，所有持资本主义左翼观点的人都想表达的一点是：无论资本主义监管得多严格，它都容易陷入“裙带资本主义”，因为在这样的社会里，财富积累会让人们对政府拥有过大的影响力。大萧条时期，他们差点就摧毁了资本主义，后来是一系列社会主义政策挽救了它。如今我们废除了所有这些政策，便又不可避免地滑向另一场大萧条。这两次危机的罪魁祸首，都是那些超级富豪及其不受约束的权力。资本主义本质上会造就这类人，所以除非社会在很大程度上转向社会主义，否则根本无法避开这个陷阱。

suguiyama

The real mistake was believing the free market is achievable despite the mountain of evidence to the contrary.

真正的错误在于，尽管有大量证据与之相悖，人们仍坚信自由市场是可以实现的。

Capitalism was absolutely not set aside. Capitalism is the economic system that we have. Just because it doesn't work the same as you thought it did on paper compared to in practice, doesn't mean it is something else.

资本主义根本没有被束之高阁。我们当前的经济体系就是资本主义。不能因为它在实践中的运作方式和你在理论上设想的不一样，就说它是另一种体系。

a) overrregulate market with intention of killing it b) complain that market doesn’t work Great logic!

“先是过度监管市场，意图扼杀它；接着又抱怨市场不起作用。”这逻辑可真“厉害”！

West-Abalone-171

Free markets are an anathema to capitalism.Market failure and regulatory capture are inherent features of capitalism and can only be avoided with non-capitalist features of an organisational system.

自由市场与资本主义是相悖的。市场失灵和监管俘获是资本主义的固有特征，只有借助非资本主义的组织体系特征，才能避免这些问题。

Let me put on my tinfoil hat for a minute:The US depends on the world's demand for dollars, and for a long time there has been only one universal way to force the world to demand it: by forcing energy trading to happen in USD. This forces everyone to acquire those dollars and then exchange them for energy --- because it sits at the base of civilization.

容我戴上“阴谋论帽子”说几句：美国的经济依赖全球对美元的需求，长期以来，迫使全球对美元产生需求的唯一通用手段，就是强制能源交易以美元结算。这就迫使各国不得不获取美元，再用美元购买能源因为能源是文明的基石。

Turns out energy meant oil. So there has never been a will for the US to change that, quite the contrary.

而过去，能源就等同于石油。所以美国根本没有意愿去改变这一现状，反而会极力维持。

So that's why energy independence from hydrocarbons is not just about a lost opportunity: it means the US is losing control over the world and its own debt. They know it, and what we are seeing lately is just a move to deal with the consequences of that.

因此，摆脱对碳氢化合物的能源依赖，不仅仅是错失机遇那么简单：这意味着美国正在失去对世界和自身债务的控制权。他们很清楚这一点，我们最近看到的种种情况，不过是在应对这一局面引发的后果。

There's a sunken cost fallacy at work here too I feel, we have thrown and continue to throw so much at fossil fuels that we dont want to go back on it so we continue to beat a dead horse. Many other nations treat it as something that is only to be used when there is no substitute. I do think overall we should be happy about the situation though, climate change is a global issue. If we were in a situation in which we were pumping more carbon into the air we would all be screwed. The fact that we seem to be on target to maintain or even reduce global emissions despite the attack on renewables in some parts of the world is a major triumph in what was looking like a bad year. We somehow pulled a rabbit out of the hat, this year isnt a total bust so far.

我觉得这里还存在一种沉没成本谬误：我们在化石燃料上投入了大量资金，而且还在持续投入，以至于不愿放弃，只能继续做无用功。许多其他国家则将化石燃料视为“无替代方案时才使用的能源”。不过总的来说，我认为我们应该对目前的形势感到欣慰，毕竟气候变化是全球性问题。如果现在我们还在向大气中排放更多二氧化碳，那所有人都会陷入困境。尽管世界部分地区仍在阻挠可再生能源发展，但全球排放量似乎仍有望保持稳定甚至下降，这在原本看似糟糕的一年里，无疑是一场重大胜利。我们总算“绝处逢生”，今年到目前为止还不算完全白费。
