Kutshanje, umbutho odumileyo wangaphandle ukhuphe ingxelo ye-OPE yehlabathi ka-2024. Lo mbutho uqokelele le ngxelo emva kokufunda idatha yabathengisi abayi-100 eMntla Melika. Ixoxa ngendlela eliqhube ngayo eli shishini kunyaka ophelileyo kwaye iqikelela iindlela eziya kuchaphazela amashishini abathengisi be-OPE kunyaka olandelayo. Siqhube umbutho ofanelekileyo.
01
Iimeko zemarike ezitshintsha rhoqo.
Baqale bacaphula idatha yabo yophando, ebonisa ukuba ama-71% abathengisi baseMntla Melika bathi eyona ngxaki inkulu kunyaka ozayo "kukunciphisa ukusetyenziswa kwemali kwabathengi." Kuphando lwabathengisi bekota yesithathu kumashishini e-OPE olwenziwe ngumbutho ofanelekileyo, phantse isiqingatha (47%) sibonise "uluhlu lwezinto ezisetyenzisiweyo olugqithisileyo." Omnye umthengisi uthe, "Kufuneka sibuyele ekuthengiseni endaweni yokwamkela ii-odolo. Kuza kuba ngunyaka onzima ka-2024 njengoko abavelisi bezixhobo ngoku beqokelelene. Kuya kufuneka sihlale sijongana nezaphulelo kunye nokukhushulwa kwaye siphathe yonke into ethengiswayo."

Imbonakalo yoQoqosho
Ngokutsho kwe-US Census Bureau, "Ngo-Okthobha, uluhlu lwezinto ezihlala ixesha elide, izinto ezijoliswe ukuba zihlale iminyaka emithathu nangaphezulu, ezifana neemoto, ifenitshala, kunye nezixhobo zamandla, zanda kwinyanga yesithathu ilandelelana, zinyuka nge-$150 yezigidi okanye i-0.3% ukuya kwi-$525.1 yezigidigidi. Oku kubonisa olunye ukwanda emva kokukhula kwe-0.1% ngoSeptemba." Iingcali zezoqoqosho zilandelela ukuthengiswa kweempahla ezihlala ixesha elide kunye noluhlu lwezinto njengesalathisi somsebenzi wezoqoqosho.
Nangona intengiso iyonke yokuthengisa ibonise ukukhula konyaka kwikota yesithathu ka-2023 eMelika yayiyi-8.4%, uninzi lweengcali zezoqoqosho lulumkisa ukuba inkcitho enamandla kulo lonke unyaka ayinakwenzeka ukuba iqhubeke kwiinyanga ezizayo. Idatha ikwabonisa ukwehla kokonga phakathi kwabathengi baseMelika kunye nokwanda kokusetyenziswa kwamakhadi etyala. Nangona kuqikelelwa ukuba uqoqosho luza kudodobala ngaphezu konyaka, sisazifumana sikwimeko yokungaqiniseki emva kobhubhane.

Iintsingiselo zeMveliso
Le ngxelo ibandakanya idatha ebanzi malunga nokuthengiswa, amaxabiso, kunye namazinga okwamkelwa kwezixhobo ezisebenzisa iibhetri eMntla Melika. Igxininisa uphando olwenziwe phakathi kwabathengisi kulo lonke elaseMntla Melika. Xa bebuzwa ukuba ngabaphi abathengisi bezixhobo zamandla abalindele ukubona imfuno engaphezulu yabathengi, ama-54% abathengisi bathi asebenzisa iibhetri, kulandele ama-31% ekhankanya ipetroli.
Ngokwedatha yenkampani yophando lwemarike, ukuthengiswa kwezixhobo ezisebenzisa iibhetri kudlule ezo zisebenzisa igesi. "Emva kokukhula okukhulu, ngoJuni 2022, izixhobo ezisebenzisa iibhetri (38.3%) zidlule izixhobo ezisebenzisa igesi yendalo (34.3%) njengohlobo lwamafutha oluthengwa kakhulu," le nkampani ibike. "Le ndlela iqhubekile ukuya kuthi ga ngoJuni 2023, apho ukuthengwa kwezinto ezisebenzisa iibhetri kunyuke nge-1.9 yeepesenti yamanqaku kwaye ukuthengwa kwezinto ezisebenzisa igesi yendalo kwehla nge-2.0 yeepesenti yamanqaku." Kuphando lwethu lwabathengisi, sivile iimpendulo ezahlukeneyo, abanye abathengisi bengayithandi le ndlela, abanye bayayamkela, kwaye iqela elincinci liyibeka ngokupheleleyo kwimiyalelo karhulumente.
Okwangoku, izixeko ezininzi eMelika (ezinoqikelelo olufikelela kwizixeko ezingama-200) ziyalela imihla kunye namaxesha okusetyenziswa kwezitshizi zegesi okanye zithintele ukusetyenziswa kwazo ngokupheleleyo. Okwangoku, iCalifornia iza kuthintela ukuthengiswa kwezixhobo ezintsha zamandla ezisebenzisa iinjini zegesi ezincinci ukususela ngo-2024. Njengoko amazwe amaninzi okanye oorhulumente basekhaya bethintela okanye bethintela i-OPE esebenzisa igesi, ixesha lisondela lokuba amaqela acinge nzulu ngokutshintshela kwizixhobo ezisebenzisa ibhetri. Amandla ebhetri ayisiyiyo yodwa indlela yemveliso kwizixhobo zamandla zangaphandle, kodwa yindlela ephambili kwaye yileyo sonke esixoxa ngayo. Nokuba iqhutywa bubuchule bomvelisi, imfuno yabathengi, okanye imithetho karhulumente, inani lezixhobo ezisebenzisa ibhetri liyaqhubeka nokunyuka.
UMichael Traub, uSihlalo weBhodi eLawulayo yeStihl, uthe, "Into ephambili kuthi kutyalo-mali kukuphuhlisa nokuvelisa iimveliso ezintsha nezinamandla ezisebenzisa iibhetri." Njengoko kubikwe ngo-Epreli kulo nyaka, inkampani ikwabhengeze izicwangciso zokwandisa isabelo sezixhobo zayo ezisebenzisa iibhetri ukuya kwi-35% ubuncinane ngo-2027, kujoliswe kwi-80% ngo-2035.
