这下装都不装了，就是要明抢。 根据欧佩克(OPEC)及能源情报署的数据，委内瑞拉拥有约3038亿桶的已探明石油储量，位居世界第一。这个数字占全球总量的近20%，比石油王 国沙特阿拉伯(17%)还要多。 此外，委内瑞拉天然气储备全球第八，金银铜铁储量也是名列前茅。而同时，国内经济一塌糊涂，内政一片混乱，经济、军事实力在美国面前不 值一提。 前一天，美国刚夜袭了委内瑞拉，带走了总统马杜罗，第二天，特朗普就在新闻发布会上宣布将让美国大型石油公司进入委内瑞拉，并开始创造 收益。 但是，委内瑞拉在推动石油国有化的时候，忽略了一个重要问题，那就是开采技术。因为他们的石油都是重油，杂质很多开采难度非常大，之前 开采量大是因为有英美荷等石油公司的先进开采技术支持，现在外资带着技术一并撤走了，委内瑞拉就徒留全球最大的油田，但是却无能为力。 一个产油国到了无油可用的地步，经济必然也就会出现问题，更何况委内瑞拉90%的外贸收入和一半以上的经济总量都来自石油。但在这种内忧 外患的背景之下，委内瑞拉政府不是想着解决问题，而是为了获得选民支持，一股脑的把所有的家底全都投在了给民众发放福利上。 经济好了，腰杆也就硬了，委内瑞拉政府不想再让 ...

这种绕开美元霸权的合作模式，正是美国最忌惮的 "破局范例"，控制委内瑞拉就能直接切断这条去美 元化通道。 加勒比海的风浪背后，一场关乎全球能源命脉的博弈正在升温。坐拥 3030 亿桶原油储量（约占全球 1/5）的委内瑞拉，作为全球已知最大石油宝库，早已成为大国角力的核心靶点。 一旦美国彻底掌控这个 "石油王国"，全球能源格局将迎来颠覆性重构，而中国深耕十余年的千亿布 局，正站在命运的十字路口。 美国对委内瑞拉的觊觎，从来不止于石油本身。 作为全球最大产油国，美国本土轻质原油产能充沛，但炼油厂却高度依赖委内瑞拉的重质原油 —— 这 种能高效生产柴油、沥青的 "工业血液"，恰恰是美国的供给短板，且委油生产成本低至每桶 20 美元以 下，性价比无可替代 。 控制委内瑞拉，美国将直接握住全球能源的 "阀门"：通过松紧制裁随意调节委油出口量，既能人为制 造供应震荡推高油价，拯救本土亏损的页岩油企业，也能压低油价打击竞争对手，彻底巩固其能源霸权 。 更致命的是，这将精准瓦解中俄在拉美的能源根基，重构西半球能源秩序，让 "门罗主义" 的幽灵重新 笼罩美洲大陆。 对美国而言，还有一层关键图谋 —— 扼杀去美元化的重要试验田。 ...

近日黄仁勋就直接指出，美国或将在"AI竞赛"当中被中国反超。他给出的理由是，虽然美国在AI领域当中暂时领先，但是决定算力的基础能源电力，中国则 是美国的两倍。 因为中国在电力方面的建设规模与发展速度实在是太惊人了，截止到2023年，中国的发电量就约为9.4万亿千瓦时，是美国的2倍多了！ 而在速度方面那就更加不用说了，黄仁勋说，美国建设一个数据中心大约需要三年时间，而中国7天就能够建好一座医院。你说这还要怎么比啊？ 打个比方，如果说芯片是更加先进的跑车，那么支持它跑更快的电力就是一条高速公路，如果没有了这条高速公路，即使再快的跑车也很难跑到120码。所 以黄仁勋就担心，能源短缺会比芯片封锁更加致命！ 那么问题来了，在AI领域当中美国一直是严防死守，不给中国留一点机会，可是为什么中国还能够在这场终极博弈中弯道超车呢？又为什么说电力是新能 源革命的核心呢？这对我们普通人来说又会产生哪些影响呢？ 想要搞懂以上这些问题啊，那我们就先来回顾一下世界的能源霸权史。 曾经的日不落帝国，与其说经济的崛起是因为蒸汽机和工业革命带来的红利，倒不如说当时的英国掌控了全球的煤炭资源！ 因为虽然瓦特改良的蒸汽机提供了更加先进的动力，但是 ...
