根據2025年初至2026年4月的報告,川普政府已採取措施重啟備受爭議的紐約天然氣管道項目,旨在降低美國東北部的能源成本。
以下是關鍵細節:
專案目標和經濟效益
目標管道:主要目標是先前於2020年停工的憲法管道(Constitution Pipeline)和東北供應增強(NESE)計畫。
成本節約聲明:川普總統在2025年3月聲稱,這些管道每年可為紐約州、康乃狄克州和新英格蘭地區的家庭節省高達
美元的公用事業費用。
預期效益:政府引用的一項研究表明,擴建這些管道可將美國東北部的天然氣價格降低20%至30%,冬季的節省幅度更大。

已採取的行動和當前狀態(2025-2026年)
白宮介入:2025年3月,川普總統與紐約州州長凱西·霍楚爾(Kathy Hochul)展開會談,討論加速修建憲法管道(Constitution pipeline)的進程。
審批進度:據報導,2025年11月,紐約州官員正在審查新的申請,聯邦政府也正在推動NESE計畫的批准。
交易傳聞:有報導稱,雙方討論了一項“交易”,即如果紐約州為天然氣管道項目提供便利,政府將允許某些風電項目繼續進行。
建設狀態:根據新聞稿,威廉斯公司(Williams Companies)於2026年4月啟動了NESE計畫。
挑戰與反對
環保反對:環保組織認為這些管道違反了紐約州2019年的氣候法,而且建設成本最終將轉嫁給納稅人。
開發商謹慎:2025年初,該計畫背後的公司執行長表示,如果沒有州政府官員明確的長期支持,他們不願意重啟計畫。
法律行動:環保組織和當地倡議者承諾將反對重啟這些計畫。

註:此資訊是根據2025年初至年中以及2026年初的報告,反映的是瞬息萬變的情況。
- Targeted Pipelines: The primary focus is the Constitution Pipeline, which was previously halted in 2020, and the Northeast Supply Enhancement (NESE) project.
- Cost Savings Claims: President Trump claimed in March 2025 that these pipelines could save families in New York, Connecticut, and New England up to per year on utility bills.
- Projected Benefits: A study cited by the administration suggests that expanding these pipelines could reduce natural gas prices in the Northeast by 20% to 30%, with greater savings in winter.
- White House Involvement: President Trump initiated talks with New York Governor Kathy Hochul in March 2025 to discuss fast-tracking the Constitution pipeline.
- Permitting Moves: In November 2025, it was reported that New York state officials were reviewing new applications, and the federal government was moving to approve the NESE project.
- Deal Speculation: Reports suggest a, "deal" was discussed where the administration would allow certain wind projects to continue if New York facilitated the gas pipeline projects.
- Construction Status: Williams Companies broke ground on the NESE project in April 2026, according to a press release.
- Environmental Opposition: Environmental groups argue that these pipelines violate New York's 2019 climate law and that the cost of construction will ultimately be passed on to ratepayers.
- Developer Caution: Early in 2025, the CEO of the company behind the project stated they were hesitant to resume without clear, long-term support from state officials.
- Legal Action: Environmental groups and local advocates have promised to oppose the revival of these projects.

英國尚未完全關閉北海油氣開採,但由於淨零排放氣候目標、基礎設施老化以及經濟效益下降,其開採活動正在逐步減少。新的許可證禁令源於實現氣候目標的需要、與全球市場相比高昂的開採成本以及向再生能源的策略轉型。

導致開採活動減少的關鍵因素:
淨零排放承諾:英國的目標是到2050年實現淨零排放,這需要逐步淘汰化石燃料。
經濟效益下降:北海是一個成熟的高成本盆地。進口天然氣通常比開採剩餘的、技術難度較高的小型儲量便宜。
氣候政策與許可證禁令:政府已停止發放新的油氣勘探許可證。最高法院裁定,在新的審批過程中必須考慮燃燒油氣對氣候的影響,這使得像羅斯班克這樣的新計畫在法律上變得脆弱。
擱淺資產風險:隨著世界轉向再生能源,新建化石燃料基礎設施的大規模投資有可能淪為「擱淺資產」(經濟上不可行)。
轉向再生能源:投資者和公司正在撤退,轉而關注新興盆地和再生能源項目。

爭議與辯論:
儘管政府已停止發放新的許可證,但產業機構認為這會損害能源安全,並增加對外國進口的依賴。包括英國海上能源協會 (OEUK) 在內的一些人士認為,國內生產對供應安全仍然至關重要。

註:雖然新項目受到限制,但現有油田的生產仍在繼續。
- Net-Zero Commitments: The UK aims to reach net-zero emissions by 2050, requiring a transition away from fossil fuels.
- Reduced Economic Viability: The North Sea is a mature, high-cost basin. It is often cheaper to import gas than to extract the remaining, technically challenging, small reserves.
- Climate Policies & Licensing Ban: The government has moved to stop issuing new oil and gas exploration licences. The supreme court ruled that climate impacts of burning oil and gas must be considered in new approvals, making new projects, such as Rosebank, legally vulnerable.
- Stranded Asset Risk: Massive investments in new fossil fuel infrastructure risk becoming "stranded assets" (economically unviable) as the world moves toward renewable alternatives.
- Shift to Renewables: Investors and companies are retreating to focus on newer basins and renewable energy projects.
While the government has moved away from new licenses, industry bodies argue this compromises energy security and increases reliance on foreign imports. Some voices, including Offshore Energies UK (OEUK), argue that domestic production remains crucial for supply security.
