Ambuya vangu mushakabvu vaidavira zvikuru tsumo yekare inoti, “Usaisa mazai ako ose mudengu rimwe chete.” Aiziva kuti kuvimba nehunyanzvi humwe kana indasitiri imwe chete kana sosi remari yaive nzira ine njodzi. Aizivawo kuti kuzvimirira kwakanga kusina kufanana nekutonga. Aizoziva kuti vanhu vekuAmerica havafanirwe kutakura mutoro kune avo vanotsvaga kutengesa mazai edu eruzhinji kuti vawane mubairo wega. Ini ndinotarisa pamepu kubva kuBureau yeOcean Energy Management uye ndinofanira kuzvibvunza-aizotii nezvemazai ari mudengu iri?

“Mutengi mukuru weoiri pasi rose akaendesa kunze mahydrocarbon akawanda kupfuura zvaamboita muna 2017 uye haaratidzi kuderera. Unozvitumidza - mafuta asina kuchena, peturu, dhiziri, propane uye kunyange gasi rechisikigo rakanyungudutswa - zvese zvakatumirwa kunze kwenyika nerekodhi. "

Makambani ese emagetsi anotarisa kuita purofiti kubva kune veruzhinji zviwanikwa zvevanhu veUnited States uye zvizvarwa zvinotevera zveAmerica zvine basa rakakosha. Harisi basa revanhu vekuAmerica kuwedzera purofiti yemakambani aya, kana kudzikisa njodzi yavo, kana kutakura mutoro wekubhadhara chero kukuvadza kweramangwana kunoitika kumhuka dzesango dzeAmerica, nzizi, masango, mahombekombe, makorari ematombo, mataundi, mapurazi, mabhizimisi kana vanhu. Ibasa revamiriri vehurumende yedu mumapazi ekutonga, ekutonga, uye emitemo, varipo kumiririra zvakanakira vanhu vekuAmerica. Iro ibasa ravo kuona kuti chero njodzi yekukuvadza zviwanikwa kune veruzhinji yakakosha mabhenefiti kune vanhu vekuAmerica, zviwanikwa zvedu zvenyika, uye zvizvarwa zvinotevera zvinozovimba nazvo.

Nzvimbo nyowani dzeKugadzira Oiri & Gasi muOcean Yedu:

Musi waNdira 4, Dhipatimendi reEnergy's Bureau yeOcean Energy Management rakaburitsa hurongwa hutsva hwemakore mashanu hwekugadzira simba paOuter Continental Shelf mumvura yeUS vachipindura kuraira kweMutungamiriri waApril apfuura. Chikamu chechirongwa chinotarisa pakuwedzera kwekugadzirwa kwemhepo kubva kumahombekombe uye ruzhinji rwunotarisa kuvhura nzvimbo nyowani mukushandiswa kwemafuta negasi zviwanikwa. Sezvauri kuona kubva pamepu, hapana chikamu chemahombekombe edu chinoratidzika sechisina njodzi (kunze kweFlorida, mushure mechokwadi).

Nzvimbo dziri pedyo negungwa rePacific uye kumabvazuva kweGulf yeMexico dzinosanganisirwa muchirongwa chitsva, pamwe nemaeka anopfuura miriyoni zana muArctic uye pamwe neakawanda eEast Seaboard. Mazhinji enzvimbo dzakarongwa, kunyanya dziri pedyo neAtlantic Coast, hadzina kumbobvira dzabatwa-zvinoreva kuti dutu, ikozvino, uye dzimwe njodzi dzekushanda kwesimba hazvinzwisisike, kuti pane zvishoma kana pasina zvivakwa zvekutsigira mabasa ekuchera, uye zvinogona kuitika. yakanakira kukuvadza huwandu hwemhuka dzemugungwa, hove, shiri dzegungwa uye humwe hupenyu hwemugungwa. Kune zvakare kukuvadza kwakanyanya kunogona kuitika kumararamiro emamiriyoni evaAmerica, kunyanya avo vanoshanda mukushanya, kubata hove, kuona whale, uye kurima mumvura.  

Kuongorora hakuna kunaka:

Kushandiswa kwepfuti dzemhepo dzinoputika dzichiputika mumvura yegungwa pa250 decibel kutsvaga mafuta negasi zvakachengeterwa zvakatochinja gungwa redu. Tinoziva kuti whales, madolphin, uye dzimwe mhuka dzomugungwa dzinotambura, sezvinoita hove nedzimwe mhuka padzinorwiswa nekuedza kwekudengenyeka kwenyika. Makambani anoita bvunzo idzi anofanirwa kutsvaga kusunungurwa kubva kuMarine Mammal Protection Act (iyo yatakatsanangura mublog yakatumirwa 1/12/18). The Hove uye Wildlife Service uye National Marine Fisheries Service vanofanira kuongorora zvikumbiro uye kuongorora kukuvadza kunogona kuitika kubva seismic bvunzo. Kana zvikabvumidzwa, zvibvumirano izvi zvinobvuma kuti makambani achaita kukuvadza uye kuisa chikamu chinotenderwa che "zvichiitika kutora," mutsara unoreva kutsanangura kuti ingani uye rudzii mhuka dzichakuvadzwa kana kuurayiwa kana kutsvaga kwemafuta negasi kuchengetwa kwatanga. Kune avo vanobvunza kuti sei nzira dzinokuvadza, dzakakura, dzisiri dzechokwadi dzichiri kushandiswa kutsvaga mafuta negasi mumvura yegungwa kana tekinoroji yemepu yasvika pari zvino. Chokwadi, pano inzvimbo iyo makambani anogona kukuvadza zvishoma kunharaunda dzeAmerica uye zviwanikwa zvegungwa mukutsvaga purofiti.

"Maindasitiri akakosha aya anoenderana nemvura yakachena yeMaine, uye kunyangwe kurasika kudiki kunogona kukuvadza zvisingagadzirisike ecosystem muGulf of Maine, kusanganisira mhute nema lobster makuru arimo," akanyora kudaro Collins naKing. "Kupfuurirazve, kuongorora kwekunze kwekudengenyeka kwenyika kwakaratidzwa mune zvimwe zviitiko kukanganisa mafambiro ehove nemhuka dzemugungwa. Nemamwe mashoko, tinotenda kuti kukuvadzwa kungangoitwa neoiri negasi kuongorora nekusimudzira kumahombekombe eMaine kunodarika chero rubatsiro rungangoitika. "

Kutaura chokwadi, kuchera hakusi kuzotanga kupi zvako kunze kweGulf yeMexico chero nguva munguva pfupi iri kutevera. Pane nzira dzinofanirwa kuumbwa uye zvikumbiro zvinofanirwa kuongororwa. Kugadzira oiri padivi peAtlantic Seaboard inomiririra kudyara kwakawanda muzvivakwa-hapana iripo pombi network, port system, kana emergency mhinduro iripo. Hazvina kujeka kuti mitengo yemafuta ichatsigira mutengo wakakura wekuvaka iyi hunyanzvi, kana kuti ibasa rinoshanda rakapihwa njodzi inogona kuitika kune vanoisa mari. Panguva imwecheteyo, hazvishamisi kuti chirongwa chitsva chemakore mashanu hachina kugamuchirwa nemaoko maviri, kunyange zvazvo kuchera chaiko kwasara makore, kana zvikaitika zvachose. 

Scientific American yakashuma kuti kune chishoro chakati chomunzvimbomo kukuwedzera kupi nokupi kwokushanda kweoiri negasi mumvura dziri mumhenderekedzo yegungwa: “Vashori vanobatanidza magavhuna eNew Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, California, Oregon neWashington; anopfuura 150 emahombekombe egungwa; uye mubatanidzwa wemabhizimisi anopfuura 41,000 500,000 nemhuri dzinoredza XNUMX XNUMX.”¹ Vatungamiriri venharaunda nevematunhu ava vakaungana vachipokana nedanho raVaObama rekuwedzera uye zvakabviswa. Chikumbiro chadzoka, chakakura kupfuura nakare, uye mwero wengozi hauna kuchinja. Nharaunda dzemumhenderekedzo yegungwa dzinovimba nezviitiko zvakasiyana-siyana zvehupfumi zvinoenderana nekuziva kuti mari yavo haisi panjodzi kubva mukuenderera mberi kwemabasa emagetsi emaindasitiri kana kubva pamukana chaiwo wekuvuza, kurasika, uye kutadza kwezvivakwa.

Muna 2017, njodzi dzinongoitika dzoga nedzimwe njodzi dzinodhura nyika yedu kupfuura madhora mazana matatu nemazana manomwe emadhora. Panguva yatinofanira kutarisisa kudzikisira njodzi kunharaunda dzedu dzemumhenderekedzo yegungwa nekuvandudza zvivakwa uye kusimba mukutarisana nekukwira kwemvura yegungwa uye madutu akanyanya. Tese zvedu tichabhadhara neimwe nzira, kunyangwe kupfuura kurasikirwa kunoparadza kune varidzi vedzimba vakakanganisika nemabhizinesi, nenharaunda dzavanogara. Kudzoreredza kuchatora nguva kunyangwe mabhiriyoni emamwe anoda kuyerera kutsigira kudzoreredzwa kwenharaunda dzedu muVirgin Islands, muPuerto Rico, muCalifornia, muTexas, uye muFlorida. Uye izvo hazviverenge madhora achiri kuyerera kuyedza kugadzirisa kukuvadzwa kukuru kubva kune zviitiko zvakapfuura sekuteuka kwemafuta eBP, izvo, kunyangwe makore manomwe gare gare zviri kukanganisa zviwanikwa zveGulf yeMexico.  

Kubva 1950, huwandu hweUS hwakada kupeta zvakapetwa kusvika kuvanhu vanosvika mamirioni mazana matatu nemakumi maviri neshanu, uye huwandu hwepasi rose hwabva kubva pamabhiriyoni 325 kusvika kuvanhu vanopfuura mabhiriyoni manomwe. Vanopfuura zvikamu zviviri muzvitatu zvevaAmerica vanogara mumahombekombe egungwa. Basa redu kuzvizvarwa zvinotevera rakawedzera zvakanyanya-tinofanirwa kuona kuti tinotarisa pakuona kuti kushandisa kwedu kunoderedza kukuvadzwa, kutambisa uye njodzi. Zvinogona kunge uko kubviswa kune njodzi huru kune vanhu ikozvino kunogona kusiiwa kuti zvizvarwa zvinotevera zviwane nehunyanzvi hwatingangofungidzira nhasi. Zvishandiso zvinouya pachena uye zvinogona kuwanikwa nemutengo wakaderera—mhepo, zuva, uye masaisai—zvinogona kushandiswa nengozi shoma zvikuru kwatiri nokuzvizvarwa zvinotevera. Kuzadzikisa zvatinoda nehungwaru dhizaini iyo inodhura zvishoma kushanda nekuchengetedza ndeimwe nzira iyo inobatsira pamhando yemweya wekugadzira inova nhaka yedu.

Tiri kugadzira simba rakawanda nhasi kupfuura ratakambova naro—kusanganisira mamwe oiri negasi. Tinofanira kuzvibvunza kuti sei tichida kusimudzira mabasa ane ngozi zvikuru kuti titore zviwanikwa zvesimba rinozoendeswa kune dzimwe nyika, zvichisiya takanganisa chete. Tiri kuzadzisa zvido zvedu zvesimba nehuwandu hunowedzera hwakasiyana-siyana hwemanyuko uye kuedza kushanda nesimba zvakanyanya kuti tisatambise nhaka yedu yakakosha.

Ino haisi nguva yekuwedzera njodzi uye kukuvadza mumvura yegungwa yeUnited States. Iye zvino ndiyo nguva yekuwedzera zvakapetwa kaviri kuzvizvarwa zvinotevera. Ino ndiyo nguva yekuita kuti nhaka yedu ive yebudiriro. Ino ndiyo nguva yekuisa mari muzvisarudzo zvesimba zvinopa izvo zvatinoda nenjodzi shoma kumararamiro emamiriyoni eAmerica. Ino ndiyo nguva yekuchengetedza mvura yedu yemugungwa, nharaunda dzedu dzemumhenderekedzo yegungwa, nemhuka dzesango dzinodaidza gungwa kumusha.
