主题：For far too long, the United States has been without a long-range energy plan. The Energy Policy Act of 2005 presents 1,700 pages and several hundred provisions attempting to elucidate such a plan. Many of the Act’s provisions are meant to spur innovative technologies, reduce American dependence on foreign oil, and keep a check on prices at the gas pump. These provisions include loan guarantees for companies that develop manufacturing processes that avoid producing greenhouse gases, and tax credits for both manufacturing and using environmentally conscious vehicles and appliances.

很长时间，美国都没有长期能源计划。在2005年通过的能源法案呈现了1700页和几百条提案尝试来阐明这个计划。其中很多提案是为了要促进科技创新，减少美国对外国石油的依赖，控制加油站的油价。这些提案包括提供发展制造过程避免产生过多的温室气体的公司贷款保证，以及给制造与使用非常环保的运输工具与生产设备在生产和出售过程的公司税务优惠。

Arg 1: Though many of these provisions have merit, the Act is by no means a coherent plan for the future. There is no clear indication as to extent the of the nation’s long-term energy needs and no overall mechanism for either meeting those needs or managing the way we do business and live our lives so as to reduce those needs.

虽然这些很多提案有好处价值，但是这个法案是和绝不和未来挂钩的计划。没有任何关于国家长期的能源需求清楚的迹象，也没有全面机制要满足这些需求或是控制我们生产生活的方式为了减少这些需求（供与求）。

Eval 1：What the Act does provide is a slew of tax breaks and incentives for the petroleum, ethanol, and nuclear corporations that are already well served by government largess. And for every environmentally friendly provision, a free pass is given to a major energy provider. Oil and gas industries, for example, have been exempted from some clean-water laws.
Another portion of the Act makes it easier to obtain permits for power lines and oil wells on public lands. There is even a provision that would allow for the consolidation of public utilities, something that has been wisely forbidden for the last 80 or so years.

法案所做提供的是一大堆对汽油、？、核能公司税减免和激励措施，这些公司已经得到政府大力支持。至于那些环境友好的提案，主要的能源公司拿到通行证。比如，油和气公司已经豁免遵守干净水法。法案另一个部分让油管和电缆更容易获得允许出现在公众区域。甚至还有一个提案允许大众设施与私人企业合并，这早在八十年前是被禁止的。

Eval 2: Competition among the big energy concerns might produce innovative and profitable products, but it is folly to leave something so important and complex as the production, distribution, and use of energy to the marketplace alone. The federal government needs to find people who can do the hard science, who understand international markets, and who can formulate a policy that will realistically and conscientiously provide for this country’s energy needs as our oil deposits inevitably dry up. A policy of this sort—the Kyoto Protocol—is already in existence, but too many of our politicians are leery of an internationally formulated document that they simplistically see as a giveaway of money and power to developing nations.

重要能源之间的竞争可能会生产更有利润与创新的产品，但是是愚蠢地的去把生产过程、分配以及能源使用这些重要且复杂的东西单独放入市场中。联邦政府应该找那些可以做困难实验的人---理解国际市场和当我们的油储不可避免干涸的时候，制作出可施行的政策满足国家能源需求的人。这样的政策KP已经存在了，但是我们的政治人物对国际文件十分警惕，只是简单地认为这种是帮助发展中国家钱和权的文件。
