Who will pay for energy saving and environmental protection?

It is worth noting that this opinion is broadcast through the news headlines, which is a very rare move, but also to reflect the government's attention to energy conservation and environmental protection work. In the stock market reaction, the industry generally high sentiment, with the opinions of the release, more than only energy-saving environmental stocks should rise sharply. I engaged in energy conservation and environmental protection industry for many years, long-term tracking of the development of energy-saving environmental protection industry.

Recently, the State Council issued the "opinions on accelerating the development of energy saving and environmental protection industry" (hereinafter referred to as the "opinions"), put forward to make energy-saving environmental protection industry to become a new pillar industry of the national economy. The release of the news to a long stick and has slightly tired practitioners have brought a lot of excitement.

It is worth noting that this opinion is broadcast through the news headlines, which is a very rare move, but also to reflect the government's attention to energy conservation and environmental protection work. In the stock market reaction, the industry generally high sentiment, with the opinions of the release, more than only energy-saving environmental stocks should rise sharply.

I engaged in energy conservation and environmental protection industry for many years, long-term tracking of the development of energy-saving environmental protection industry. It should be said that the release of opinions, in line with the industry's expectations of the new government initiatives, once again clear the energy conservation and environmental protection industry as a pillar industry in the future direction of the economy. But objectively speaking, to achieve this ambitious goal, the government is facing enormous challenges, there are many fundamental problems are not resolved. Not good, this issue will become the government is not so bright page.

We need to understand is, the development of energy-saving environmental protection industry, the market where? An industry to large-scale development, is built on the basis of the huge market demand, there must be enough users are willing and able to pay for what they need. Usually, there are four main types of payment: business, government, individuals, foreign subjects.

Accordingly, the type of business can be divided into four categories: 2B (enterprise) business, 2G (government) business, 2C (personal) business and export business. Let us look at energy conservation and environmental protection industry, who will pay for energy conservation and environmental protection, the first look at the enterprise, here mainly refers to the high energy consumption, high pollution, the obligation to pay for energy-saving emission reduction enterprises. Please note that this is a "duty", in order to fulfill their social responsibilities, enhance corporate image, actively carry out energy-saving emission reduction enterprises have, but it is definitely not mainstream, more and more enterprises are not willing to pay, "all profit center" is still the basic principle of the vast majority of enterprises to pursue.

So, must rely on legislation and supervision, by forcing down by punishment, "demand" is not able to continue, it is hard to say. Look at the government, including the central and local governments. Theoretically, the government is the agent of the public interest. When individual interests are affected, such as resource depletion and environmental damage, the government has an obligation to take responsibility and take measures to eliminate the negative impact. To the development of energy-saving environmental protection industry into a real pillar industry, Prime Minister Lee, I am afraid there are still many things to do ah!
