WEEKLY ADDRESS: Time to Create the Energy Security Trust 每周电视讲话：创建能源安全信托基金的时机到了 【2013.03.16】 Washington DC— In this week’s address, President Obama spoke to the American people from the Argonne National Laboratory, which he toured earlier that day, about the facility’s focus on harnessing American energy in order to reduce our dependence on oil and make the United States a magnet for new jobs. The President highlighted his “all-of-the-above” approach to American energy, including his proposal to establish an Energy Security Trust, which invests revenue from offshore oil and gas development in research that will help shift our cars and trucks off of oil. These investments, which are focused on a range of technologies including electric vehicles and advanced batteries as well as investments in advanced biofuels and cars that run on natural gas, will continue to reduce our nation’s dependence on oil, support job creation, increase energy security, and save families money at the pump – all while cutting harmful carbon pollution. These efforts build on the historic steps taken in the President’s first term to protect consumers and reduce oil consumption, including the historic fuel economy standards established which will double the distance our cars can go on a gallon of gas. In line with those efforts, the Energy Security Trust will continue to create good jobs for the middle class as we take control of our energy future. 华盛顿：在本周的讲话中，奥巴马总统向美国民众介绍了他今天早些时候抵达的阿尔贡国家实验室，该实验室正关注于创新美国能源来源，以降低我们对石油的依赖并为美国国内带来就业机会。总统高度强调他关于美国能源问题的“顶级”提案，这一提案包括成立一个能源安全信托基金，从每年的近海石油气开发收益中拿出一部分支持研发不使用石油的汽车和卡车。这些投资着重关注多个技术领域，主要包括电动汽车、高能效电池，还包括生物能源技术和天然气汽车。这些将继续减少我们国家对石油的依赖性，创造就业岗位，提高能源安全性，并为所有家庭节约油费支出，与此同时还能减少有害的碳化合物污染。所有这些成就的取得与总统第一任期内采取的数项保护消费者和减少石油消费的历史性措施是分不开的，这包括史上最严格的燃料能效标准，标准的实施将让汽车的每一加仑汽油行驶里程翻一倍。与这些努力一起，能源安全信托基金的成立将继续为中产阶级带来良好的就业机会，并让我们掌控自己的能源未来。 Hi, everybody. As a nation, our top priority is growing our economy and creating good middle class jobs. That’s why this week I’m speaking t
