Total energy consumption must be "hard constraints"

Total energy consumption must be "hard constraints"

March 22, 2011/Dong Xiucheng

A long time, the national energy policies focus on energy supply, do everything possible to open up the energy channels and the development of sources of supply, to ensure the achievement of national economic development objectives. This is a to meet consumer demand as the direction of energy policy, as well as traditional planned economy energy "in balance" ideological continuity.

For now, this should change the traditional thinking, because economic growth is a reflection of the desire of the people increased, and the desire is infinite, resulting in economic growth targets is infinite. Economic development in China in past decades, due to the emphasis on economic growth is "the last word", especially the overemphasis on GDP to the neglect of economic quality, therefore in energy policy-making will inevitably be open source in the first place.

In theory, using a limited energy source to meet the human desires of unlimited or infinite economic growth is not able to do, so we have to change ways of thinking on energy policy, that is to change the traditional open source ideology, turn the throttle.

Therefore, for the realization of scientific development and steady economic growth, countries must develop in the future development strategy and planning rigid indicators of total energy consumption, implement hard constraints of energy consumption.

"25" period, the countries have set targets for energy efficiency, use per unit of gross domestic product (GDP) to calculate the energy consumption, but did not set a hard target, so performance is not satisfactory.

To sustain economic growth and sustainable development in China, energy is the key, it involves economic quality, design of greenhouse gas emissions, related to economic restructuring, involving the transformation of economic growth mode, involving quality of life of ordinary people, so control is a total energy consumption affects various aspects of the major problems in the economic field.

Economic growth needs

And sustainable development, energy consumption hard constraints is difficult to avoid.
