Age of Dreams

The change of weather changes with the change of regions and seasons.

Even in the hottest Qiongdao, the temperature is still more than ten degrees in the winter season. In a place where humans live on a large scale, there can be no place. The temperature is really the same throughout the year.

The eastern part of Asia where China is located is actually one of the most suitable areas for human life, and the North American continent can be compared with it.

However, with the continuous development of mankind, the process of industrialization is getting faster and faster, and the environmental quality of China is getting worse and worse. In many places, it can be said that it has reached an unbearable level.

The Shuchuan where Xiao Qi is located is a little better. Although it is a basin, although it is humid all year round, industrial pollution is not too great anyway. It is just because it is located in the basin, a lot of pollution is not easy to diffuse out.

It is a trivial matter if it is on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, even if it is ten times the industrial scale.

In recent years, the worst environmental quality in China is the North China Plain.

This large plain, which occupies one-fifth of China’s arable land, has a vast terrain and is also the capital area, so since the 1950s, many factories have settled here.

After the reform, the opening up, and the liberalization, for example, steel plants and petroleum refineries that had a great impact on industry have sprung up in the North China Plain like mushrooms after a rain.

These two types of factories are also large consumers of electricity, so more power plants will follow.

According to statistics in 2013, there are as many as thousands of steel plants and petroleum plants on the North China Plain. There are also thousands of factories with high pollution, plus tens of thousands of large and small power plants. It seems that it has become the worst-hit area of ​​industrial pollution. In the autumn and winter seasons, pollutants stagnate in the air, and yellow, even black clouds are almost everywhere.

At this time, what is free in the air is PM2.5 particulate matter, which is very toxic, and it is very harmful to the human body when it breathes into the lungs.

The concept of pm2.5 hasn’t come out before. Everyone hasn’t felt anything. It’s just that the autumn and winter seasons are often foggy, even yellow. The fog is all over the earth, tens of meters or even ten meters away. With clear figures, traffic accidents are most likely to occur at this time.

Since knowing what the pm2.5 index in the air represents, people’s awareness of safety precautions has improved a lot. Before going out, most people will listen to today’s pm2.5 index. If it is very bad, then They will go out wearing masks.

In China, the excellent air quality is below 35 pm2.5 index, and the good is below 75, which means that it basically takes 75 to be able to bear it, and it is suitable for people to work and play outdoors.

If many cities still have good air quality, the capital, surrounded by these heavily polluted factories, has basically no better air quality since March this year.

In this half a year, the air quality in the capital has been severely polluted for 93 days, severely polluted for 48 days, moderately polluted for 37 days, good for good air quality for only 4 days, and there is no excellent day.

This is still the weather quality in summer and early autumn. If it comes to autumn and winter, when the pollution is very serious, you can imagine how bad it will be.

Everyone knows that the people of the capital are residents at the feet of the emperor, and they have a sense of superiority from the beginning. Of course they are in such a "dangerous" environment.

People in the capital like making noise very much. There are more people making noise, and naturally the center has received opinions.

At first they were very hesitant.

Although everyone knows how good it is to have a sky with good air quality, not to mention the common people, even the bigwigs and their families can get the most direct benefits.

But the problem is that the economy is now in charge, and economic development is more important than anything else.

Once these factories and power plants are shut down, the industries in Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei will be hit hardest, and it will be of no benefit to economic growth.

On the one hand, it is a healthy environment. On the other hand, it is vital to economic development. The bigwigs are really very cautious about how to choose. They dare not make decisions lightly.

However, after the event came in October, there was a big opportunity.

The cause was that in the first ten days of October, Capital Television broadcasted a news that more than 30 children in a kindergarten in a suburb suddenly contracted pneumonia and were admitted to the hospital.

According to the doctor’s examination, the cause of their illness was that they had inhaled too much PM2.5 particulate matter, and a small-scale high-polluting coal power plant 1 kilometer near them was originally nothing, but because it was about to When the heating season comes, this power plant happens to be responsible for supplying gas to nearby residents, so a lot of coal has been piled up in the open-air dam recently, and the harmful substances in the coal have floated into the air, and finally let the children get it. Acute pneumonia.

This is amazing.

To say that adults can still have a strong resistance, you can endure this situation, or wear a mask, or take medicine, but how do children prevent it?

Their own awareness of prevention is not strong, and children's resistance is relatively weak, and they are most vulnerable to these PM2.5 particles.

In any country, children are the future of the motherland and the most precious treasures of parents. They are hurt, and parents are more angry than adults themselves.

So a group of parents went to block the door of the power plant and made a lot of noise. In the end, the police mobilized hundreds of people to calm the matter down.

In the current era of the Internet, someone just happened to post videos of the dispute and confrontation, which triggered a strong reaction across the capital, which was full of complaints.

Especially parents with children, thinking that their children might also suffer this kind of experience, and the air pollution will definitely be much more serious after heating in winter, the PM2.5 in the air will be more dense, and the children's chance of getting sick It must be higher. They stopped doing it immediately, and began to use various channels to respond to the problem, expressing their dissatisfaction strongly.

The staff in the ministries, commissions and the center also have children. Seeing such a situation, they dare not say that they are directly requesting orders, but it is okay to add to the flames.

That's it. In October, the government convened three meetings specifically on air pollution. One of them was an executive meeting, which shows that the central leaders attach great importance to this matter.

Of course, watching so many meetings, everyone understands that the disputes are actually very big, and the views of the two sides often become a group, and often no one can convince the other party.

In the end, the nine giants held a meeting to discuss together, which was considered to set the tone of the matter.

"Renovate factories with outdated production capacity, reduce the number of factories with high energy consumption and high pollution, actively introduce emission compliance measures, supervise factories to improve their environmental awareness, promote a good weather environment across the country, and allow people to breathe healthy and fresh air. ."

This decision was not only aimed at the capital, but was simply extended to the whole country.

Although there are local conditions, it is very rare for the center to make this determination. At least in the future, from the national level, it will become more and more stringent to eliminate outdated and highly polluting production capacity, and will further strengthen the governance of the environment. This does not matter even if it loses some of the economic development speed and achievements.

Many people at the center of the network are talking freely, saying that our country’s economy is already very developed and has become a global foundry. How can it be used to desperately develop the economy and develop high-energy-consumption and high-polluting industries such as steel?

As everyone knows, China’s economic aggregate has increased, but if you remove all the foreign-invested factories in China, then you will see that the remaining 50% is good.

In terms of foundry, Huaguo really couldn't make much money. It was all eaten up by high-end companies in the industry chain. We didn't eat hard money. It was a bit worse than beggars.

The only thing that is better is the sale of various energy sources, as well as these steel and other useful products, including ships, etc. These are a large part of the income. If you really don’t care about heavy industry at all, then tell me, Hua What does the country rely on to make money?

Rely on OEM to produce Apple mobile phones, and OEM production of shoes and brand-name bags?

Do not make jokes!

Do you think that the people in the hub are stupid than you people in the network hub? If it is not a last resort, how can they still insist on doing this?

The development of China is not something boring people can do with their mouths.

Only by doing things in a down-to-earth manner can we get development.

For example, the old industrial base in Northeast China has declined in recent years, but no one can deny that it played an important role in China’s industry and military before the 1990s~www.readwn.com~ Look at those factories now. , I feel dilapidated and backward, and should have been eliminated long ago.

But in the environment at that time, they played the role of a mainstay. If it weren't for them, how would we have the foundation to develop future industries?

I believe that after 20 years, these high-energy-consumption and high-polluting industries actually have their meaning at this stage.

Pollution and development are not absolutely opposites. At some point, they are interdependent.

However, we can make a better balance between the two.

Just like the order issued by the mansion, I just want to find such a balanced path!
