New Energy revitalization is the source of power of great powers

In a sense, the discovery of new energy, the change of the energy chain, the corresponding political economy and the change of innovation system are the source of power of the great power.　　Therefore, we can not use a utilitarian mentality to simplify the development of new energy for the next two or three years out of the economic crisis, the tool of stimulating economic growth should be regarded as a major strategic measure to ensure energy security and diversify energy supply in the long run, and to adapt to the life style of Chinese urban and rural residents in the Low-carbon era. Liu Tao by the industry as the "National New Energy Development Strategy" of the "new energy industry revitalization and Development plan" has been reported by the National Development and Reform Commission, and will be timing when conditions are ripe. According to this plan, by 2020, in addition to hydropower, solar energy, wind and other renewable energy accounted for the proportion of China's one-time power consumption, is expected to rise from the current 1.5% to more than 6%, the total investment will also exceed 3 trillion yuan.　　This for the Shanghai and Shenzhen stock Market 81 New Energy concept stocks, is undoubtedly a long-term significant positive. The importance of new energy revitalization cannot be overemphasized. In a sense, the discovery of new energy, the change of the energy chain, the corresponding political economy and the change of innovation system are the source of power of the great power. Throughout human history, the emergence of a new generation of energy chains is often accompanied by a new generation of protagonists in the international system. For example, coal, the first generation of energy, helped Britain to complete the industrial revolution, making it a "sun-less empire", while oil, the second generation of energy, pushed America, Germany and other emerging powers in the Second world Industrial Revolution, the emergence of the British, France and other old capitalist countries to catch up.　　At present, for China, Britain and Brazil and other emerging powers, the sooner the next generation of energy competition, the more conducive to its future international system to lay a dominant position. From a global perspective, the new energy represented by biomass energy, after a short period of prosperity from 2007 to 2008, after six months of quiet, heavy and vigorous. But the wave of new energy is largely driven by policies or ideas like "green economy" to expand employment and find new economic growth points, largely because of Obama's presidency.　　Or it can be said that the former wave of new energy is based on meeting the general needs of the public, is the bottom-up "induced institutional change", and the new energy craze reflects the policy preferences of the few elites represented by Mr Obama and Chu, more like a top-down "mandatory institutional change". China's high-profile announcement of new Energy development is based on a number of realistic strategic considerations: first, concerns about a renewed rise in international crude oil prices. Unlike Europe and the United States, because of the long-term self-sufficiency in oil, China has not been the impact of the two oil crises in the 70 's, whether enterprises or residents, to reduce the importance of energy dependence is not intuitive understanding.　　The 2008 international oil price crazy rise, undoubtedly gave China a great psychological impact. Secondly, there is an objective need to develop alternative energy sources.While not everyone agrees with the "pinnacle" of the impending depletion of global oil production, the undeniable fact is that in recent years China has spent vast diplomatic resources on the international market in search of non-renewable energy sources such as oil and coal, and has invested a considerable amount of foreign exchange reserves, Peak The marginal cost of China's external access to energy has become increasingly high.　　And the new energy is mostly renewables, is the solution to this problem. Third, the Chinese economy is facing a potential threat that the future of Europe and the United States will likely join forces to impose additional tariffs on Chinese exports under the pretext of carbon emissions. China's per capita emissions of carbon dioxide have surpassed the world average as a result of excessive consumption of coal and oil, making it increasingly louder for the US and Europe, and even some developing countries, to take on more emissions-cutting obligations.　　If we take the last six months of the oil pricing mechanism, the successive introduction of fuel tax, as well as the upcoming gas pricing mechanism and the revitalization of the new energy industry, such as a series of events as a whole, we can understand the policy makers of the strong sense of crisis and urgency.　　However, to revitalize the new energy industry, there are still many obstacles to be overcome in the future, some of which are also the common challenges of the world. First, how to maintain the continuity of investment in new energy development and avoid speculative mentality. For new energy sources that are still in infancy, there will inevitably be some backwardness. For example, the rise in international oil prices, the development of new energy has been taken seriously, and oil prices fell, the new energy plan was soon shelved. In addition, because of the high cost and price, it also hinders its popularization and application. Many people also point out that GM, the world's auto industry, has come to bankruptcy in a way that has much to do with investing and not producing new energy vehicles in the past few years.　　However, the International Energy Agency (IEA) has pledged that the cost of using new energy will be reduced correspondingly as technology matures and applications become popular. Of course, the path dependence of traditional energy-related industries and the resistance of interest groups are also problems that cannot be neglected, especially in the domestic automobile industry.　　Therefore, in addition to the Government from the policy to support the new energy-related industries, promote the "energy saving and emission reduction" of the civil society movement healthy Development, is also very necessary. Secondly, how to maintain the proportion of traditional energy and new energy in different periods and stages, and how to maintain the optimal investment ratio among various new energy sources. There is also a question of how to reconcile the conflict between new energy and other industries.　　The scramble between bioethanol crops and food crops, for example, is a controversial topic in many countries. Thirdly, how to enter and play the role of private capital to be operable, and not to make it a mere empty slogan. From the profit motive, the state-owned monopoly enterprises do not welcome the competition from the new energy sources, but they must firmly hold the initiative of new energy development in their own hands. For example, the current wind power generation, the basic Datang, state electricity and other "national size" monopoly; in the field of biomass energy, exceptWith a handful of foreign investment, COFCO and the big Three oil majors have also become the dominant force. Finally, it is also the author's most wish to emphasize that the new energy development can not be simplified by the utilitarian mentality for the next two or three years out of the economic crisis, to stimulate economic growth, but should be seen as a long-term guarantee of energy security, to achieve diversification of energy supply major strategic measures, and to adapt to the low carbon age of Chinese urban and rural residents of the height of life style.　　Otherwise, it is likely to become the new goal of local government pursuit of performance, resulting in herd, low-level duplication and blind development, resulting in the cost of land and resources. For new energy development, we cannot miss the opportunity, but also can not from one extreme to the other extreme, in order to highlight the new energy and deliberately belittle the "old energy" for China's energy security practical significance. But should be based on national conditions, combined with the actual, based on comparative advantages selectively each have a focus. The author believes that although traditional energy sources such as oil and coal will still provide the main driving force for the Chinese economy for a long time to come, new energy is going to revolutionize our way of life.
