政府可以邀请企业竞购备用能源供应合同。大部分储备将是天然气，但最终将会是电池和氢技术。更多的核电站、二氧化碳的获取和储存，或两者兼而有之，对于提供清洁可靠的基本电能至关重要。
Governments can invite firms to bid for backupenergysupply contracts. Most reserves will be in gas but eventually battery and hydrogen technologies could take over. More nuclear plants, the capture and storage of carbon dioxide, or both, are vital to supply a baseload of clean, reliable power.
◎ bid：v. ~ (for sth) ~ (on sth) to offer to do work or provide a service for a particular price, in competition with other companies, etc. 投标

The table that follows shows (at intervals) the float generated by the various segments of Berkshire’s insurance operations since we entered the business 36 years ago upon acquiring National Indemnity Company (whose traditional lines are included in the segment “Other Primary”). For the table we have calculated our float — which we generate in large amounts relative to our premium volume — by adding net loss reserves, loss adjustment reserves, funds held under reinsurance assumed and unearned premium reserves, and then subtracting insurance-related receivables, prepaid acquisition costs, prepaid taxes and deferred charges applicable to assumed reinsurance. (Got that?)

最近看到一个分析，美国页岩油气的股东都换了。之前的高增长时期，成长型股东居多，要求页岩油气大举投入，不惜一切代价换取产量增长，CEO等管理层的奖金都跟增长目标挂钩。在页岩油气大量增产，加上疫情造成的需求断崖，把油价打崩盘之后，页岩油气公司的股东已经转换为价值投资者为主。这些股东注重自由现金流，注重资本回报，要求页岩油气砍资本支出，增加自由现金流，发大量股息，回购股票，回馈股东。
之前的成长型投资者，只要产量增长的快，资本市场给出高估值，他们就能获利。现在的价值投资者，要求的是真金白银，而不是从市场上忽悠，靠高增长，高估值赚钱。而且，这些CEO管理层的激励结构也改变了，更强调自由现金流和股东回报。
股东改变了，考核机制改变了，最终带来了公司行为方式的改变。

The Federal Reserve Act of December 1913 reflected the widespread be- lief that something was seriously wrong with the nation’s banking and cur- rency system. After the Panic of 1907 (a brief financial crisis triggered by the irresponsible speculations of several New York trust companies), business- men, farmers, progressives, economists, political leaders of both parties, and bankers themselves agreed that the regulations created during the Civil War were inadequate to meet the needs of industrialized America.

俄媒：俄罗斯回应拜登有关俄”使用核武”的言论
俄罗斯《今日俄罗斯》电视台官网9月18日报道：莫斯科重申，其核理论是不言自明的，因为俄罗斯高级官员一再表示，乌克兰冲突不符合其任何标准。美国总统乔·拜登威胁说，如果俄罗斯使用大规模杀伤性武器，将做出严厉的“后果性”反应。
报道说，周六，当被问及“俄罗斯在乌克兰使用核武器的可能性”时，克里姆林宫新闻秘书德米特里·佩斯科夫告诉俄新社记者：“请阅读该理论，一切都写在那里”。
根据俄罗斯的核态势，莫斯科保留使用核武器的权利，但只有“在对俄罗斯或其盟友使用核武器和其他大规模杀伤性武器时”，以及“在对威胁俄罗斯主权国家生存的常规攻击时”才会使用(According to Russia’s nuclear posture, Moscow reserves the right to use nukes>
