尽管电动车辆和其他清洁技术有所增加,但由于矿物燃料使用量增加,美国电力的碳排放正在上升。 U.S. carbon emissions from electricity are rising due to increased fossil fuel use, despite growth in electric vehicles and other clean tech.

美国电力部门尽管越来越多地使用电动车辆、数据中心和热泵,但碳排放却呈上升趋势,因为新的天然气厂和扩大的煤炭厂业务日益增强这些技术的动力。 The U.S. electricity sector is seeing a rise in carbon emissions despite growing use of electric vehicles, data centers, and heat pumps, as new natural gas plants and extended coal plant operations increasingly power these technologies. 可再生能源的扩展面临政治和经济障碍,而寿命长的电力基础设施数十年来一直锁定着高排放量。 Renewable energy expansion faces political and economic hurdles, while long-lived power infrastructure locks in high emissions for decades. 公司优先事项,包括技术领导人的优先事项,往往将增长置于气候目标之上,破坏去碳化努力,即便在电气化加速时也是如此。 Corporate priorities, including those of tech leaders, are often prioritizing growth over climate goals, undermining decarbonization efforts even as electrification accelerates.
