Ben Meiselas：本期节目揭露了特朗普及其支持者关于能源政策的虚假宣传。长期以来，特朗普和共和党一直高喊着"大力开采石油"的口号，但实际上，支持特朗普的石油高管们已经承认，他们并不需要大力开采，因为拜登政府已经实现了美国的能源独立。他们改变策略，转而试图通过扼杀电动汽车产业、放松环境监管等手段来维护自身利益，即使这意味着在环境保护区进行钻探和压裂作业，对公众健康造成危害也在所不惜。这些行为充分暴露了他们虚伪的本质和对自身利益的极度贪婪。他们散布虚假信息，误导公众，例如关于电动汽车充电站数量的谎言，并试图压制不利于化石燃料的报告。特朗普支持者：他们认为拜登政府的政策限制了石油开采，导致价格上涨，但实际上，美国的石油产量在拜登政府时期创下了历史新高。他们希望放松对石油开采的监管，包括取消针对甲烷排放的规定，获得在联邦土地上压裂的新许可证，以及取消气候信息披露规则。他们还试图通过反对国际能源署的预测，以及攻击皮特·布蒂吉格等方式来维护自身利益。 Chris Wright：作为特朗普提名的能源部长候选人，Chris Wright 对气候变化持否认态度，认为气候变化的积极方面大于消极方面，并支持在联邦保护区进行石油和天然气钻探。他认为政府限制石油开采的努力只会导致价格上涨，而不会改变需求。 Pete Buttigieg：皮特·布蒂吉格直接驳斥了关于其工作的虚假信息，详细解释了关于国家电动汽车充电网络项目的资金使用情况，并指出共和党人歪曲事实，利用片面信息误导公众。 Elon Musk：Elon Musk 在一定程度上促进了虚假信息的传播，但随后也帮助澄清了事实。 Harold Hamm：特朗普的一位捐助者认为，美国的石油产量不会大幅增加，因为可开采的地区已经基本探明。 Dan Eberhardt：Dan Eberhardt 要求特朗普政府反对国际能源署的预测。 Ben Meiselas: This episode exposes the lies and realities surrounding the energy policies of Trump and his supporters. For a long time, Trump and the Republicans have been shouting the slogan of "drill, baby, drill," but in reality, the oil executives who supported Trump have admitted that they don't need to drill hard, because the Biden administration has achieved America's energy independence. They have changed their strategy and are now trying to protect their own interests by suppressing the electric vehicle industry, relaxing environmental regulations, etc., even if it means drilling and fracturing in environmentally protected areas, and endangering public health. These actions fully expose their hypocritical nature and their extreme greed for their own interests. They spread false information, mislead the public, such as the lie about the number of electric vehicle charging stations, and try to suppress reports that are not conducive to fossil fuels. Trump supporters: They believe that the Biden administration's policies have restricted oil production, leading to rising prices, but in reality, US oil production has reached record highs during the Biden administration. They hope to relax regulations on oil production, including canceling regulations targeting methane emissions, obtaining new permits for fracking on federal land, and canceling climate disclosure rules. They also try to protect their own interests by opposing the International Energy Agency's predictions and attacking Pete Buttigieg. Chris Wright: As Trump's nominee for Secretary of Energy, Chris Wright denies climate change, believing that the positive aspects of climate change outweigh the negative aspects, and supports oil and gas drilling in federally protected areas. He believes that the government's efforts to restrict oil production will only lead to rising prices, without changing demand. Pete Buttigieg: Pete Buttigieg directly refutes false information about his work, explains in detail the use of funds for the national electric vehicle charging network project, and points out that Republicans distort facts and mislead the public using one-sided information. Elon Musk: Elon Musk has to some extent facilitated the spread of false information, but later also helped to clarify the facts. Harold Hamm: A donor to Trump believes that US oil production will not increase significantly because the exploitable areas have been basically explored. Dan Eberhardt: Dan Eberhardt asked the Trump administration to oppose the predictions of the International Energy Agency.
