5 hrs confidence: 
menyamakan keadaan Explanation: IMHO, istilah yang digunakan berasal dari terminologi permainan poker : Until the first bet is made each player in turn may "check," which is to not place a bet, or "open," which is to make the first bet. After the first bet each player may "fold," which is to drop out of the hand losing any bets they have already made; "call," which is to match the highest bet so far made; or "raise," which is to increase the previous high bet. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Betting_(poker) To call is to match a bet or match a raise. A betting round ends when all active players have bet an equal amount or no opponents call a player's bet or raise. If no opponents call a player's bet or raise, the player wins the pot. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Betting_(poker)#Call Jadi terjemahannya bisa dibaca sebagai berikut : new energy sources cost money with the big corporations calling the cards. = sumber-sumber energi baru membutuhkan uang dengan korporasi-korporasi besar menyamakan keadaan (= membutuhkan uang) |

memanfaatkan keadaan Explanation: "calling the cards" pada kalimat tersebut diterjemahkan berarti "memanfaatkan keadaan". Terjemahan lengkapnya adalah sebagai berikut: Politisi masa kini tidak dapat menyelamatkan iklim, dan sumber energi yang baru harganya sangat mahal karena perusahaan-perusahaan besar sedang memanfaatkan keadaan ini. Kalimat tersebut hendak memberi kesan bahwa perusahaan-perusahaan besar mengetahui bahwa mereka memiliki kemampuan untuk mengolah sumber energi yang baru. Oleh karena itu, mereka "calling the cards", memanfaatkan trend penyelamatan iklim dengan cenderung boros dan menaikkan harga mereka. |

peer agreement (net): +1memegang kendali/mengendalikannya Explanation: Menurut saya, "calling the cards" diambil dari istilah poker dan sesuai konteksnya di sini bermakna "memegang kendali", sehingga kalimat lengkapnya menjadi: "Today's politicians cannot do any climate rescuing, and new energy sources cost money with the big corporations calling the cards." "Saat ini para politisi tak mampu menyelamatkan iklim, dan sumber energi baru terbilang mahal karena perusahaan besar yang memegang kendali." Artinya, karena pengembangan sumber energi baru dikuasai perusahaan-perusahaan besar, maka harganya menjadi mahal. |
