Age of Dreams

The weather changes with the changes of regions and seasons.

Even in the hottest Qiongdao, the temperature in the winter season is still in the tens of degrees. In places where humans live on a large scale, there is no place where the temperature really remains the same throughout the year.

The eastern region of Asia, where the country of Hua is located, is actually one of the most suitable regions for human life, and the North American continent can be compared with it.

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

Shuchuan, where Xiao Qi is located, is better. Although it is a basin and it is humid all the year round, industrial pollution is not too great. It is just that because it is located in a basin, a lot of pollution is not easy to disperse.

If it is on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, even if the industrial scale is ten times larger, it will be a trivial matter.

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

This great plain, which occupies one-fifth of the arable land in Huaguo, has a vast terrain and the capital circle, so since the 1950s, many factories have settled here.

After the reform and opening up, for example, steel mills, oil refineries, etc., which had a great influence on industry, sprung up in the North China Plain like mushrooms after rain.

And these two types of factories are big consumers of electricity, so more power plants will be born accordingly.

According to statistics in 2013, there are as many as thousands of steel plants and oil plants on the North China Plain, as well as thousands of high-pollution factories, plus tens of thousands of large and small power plants. , this place has become the worst-hit area of ​​industrial pollution. In autumn and winter, pollutants stagnate in the air, and yellow or even black clouds are everywhere.

At this time, what is free in the air is PM2.5 particulate matter, which is very toxic, and if breathed into the lungs, it will cause great harm to the human body.

In the past, the concept of PM2.5 has not come out, and everyone has not felt anything, just think that the autumn and winter seasons are often foggy, and even the yellow fog spreads all over the earth, and you can’t see it tens of meters or even ten meters away. When people are clear, traffic accidents are most likely to occur at this time.

And since knowing what the PM2.5 index in the air represents, people's awareness of safety precautions has immediately increased a lot. Before going out, most people will listen to today's PM2.5 index. If it is bad, then They will go out wearing masks.

In China, the air quality is excellent when the PM2.5 index is below 35, and good is below 75, which means that basically 75 can be tolerated, and it is suitable for people to work and play outdoors.

If it is said that many cities often have good air quality, the capital surrounded by these heavily polluting factories has basically had no good air quality since March this year.

In such a six-month period, the capital’s air quality has 93 days of heavy pollution, 48 days of severe pollution, 37 days of moderate and light pollution, only 4 days of good or poor, and no good day.

This is still the weather quality in summer and early autumn. If it comes to autumn and winter, which are usually very polluted, one 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. Of course, they are fussy about being in such a "dangerous" environment.

People in the capital like to make noise, and if there are more people making noise, the center will naturally receive opinions.

They were very hesitant at first.

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

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

Once these factories and power plants are closed, the industry in Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei will be hit the hardest, which will not benefit economic growth at all.

On the one hand, there is a healthy environment, and on the other hand, the crucial economic development. The big bosses are really very cautious about the choice between them, and they dare not make a decision lightly.

However, after October, there was a big opportunity.

The reason was that in early October, the Capital TV station broadcast a news that more than 30 children in a kindergarten in a certain suburb suddenly contracted pneumonia and were admitted to the hospital.

According to the doctor's examination, the cause of their illness was the inhalation of too much PM2.5 particulate matter, and a small-scale high-pollution coal power plant was 1 km away from them. It's the heating season, and this power plant happens to be responsible for supplying gas to the nearby residents, so a lot of coal has been piled up in the open-air dam recently, and the harmful substances in the coal are just like this floating into the air, and finally let the children get sick Acute pneumonia.

This is a big deal.

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

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

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

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

Now is the Internet age, and someone happened to post the video of the confrontation, which then triggered a strong reaction in the entire capital, which can be described as full of complaints.

Especially parents with children, thinking that their children may also suffer from 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 probability of children 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.

Of course, the staff in the ministries, committees and central centers also have children. Seeing this situation, they dare not say that they are asking for orders directly, but it is okay to add fuel to the flames.

That's it, in October, the government held three meetings specifically on the air pollution issue, one of which was an executive meeting, which shows that the central bosses attach great importance to this matter.

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

In the end, it was the nine giants who held a meeting to discuss the matter, and it was considered that the tone of the matter was set.

"Rectify factories with backward 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 protection awareness, promote a good weather environment across the country, so that people can breathe healthy and fresh air .”

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

Although there are local conditions in various places, it is very rare for the center to make this determination. At least from the national level in the future, it will become more and more strict to eliminate backward and highly polluting production capacity, and will further strengthen environmental governance. It doesn't matter if you lose some economic development speed and achievements.

Many people in the network center are talking nonsense, saying that our country's economy is already very developed and has become a world foundry. How can we go all out to develop the economy and develop industries with high energy consumption and high pollution such as steel?

As everyone knows, the total economic output of Huaguo has increased, but if you remove all the foreign-funded factories in Huaguo, then you will know that 50% of the remaining is good.

In terms of OEM, Huaguo really can't make much money, and it's all eaten up by those high-end companies in the industrial chain. What we get is not hard money, but life money that is worse than beggars.

The only thing that is better is the sale of various energy sources, as well as these steel and other usable products, including ships, etc. These are a large part of the income. If you really ignore heavy industry at all, then tell me, Hua What does the country rely on to make money?

Do you rely on OEM to produce Apple mobile phones, shoes, and brand-name bags?

Do not make jokes!

Do you think that the people in the center are dumber than those of you in the network center? If it was not a last resort, how could they still insist on doing this?

The development of Huaguo is not something that a bored person can do by just moving their mouths.

It still depends on doing things in a down-to-earth manner in order to develop.

For example, the old industrial base in Northeast China has declined in recent years, but no one can deny its important role in China's industry and military before the 1990s.

When you look at those factories now, you feel that they are dilapidated and backward, and should have been eliminated long ago.

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

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

Pollution and development are not absolute opposites, they are interdependent at some point.

It's just that we can strike a better balance between the two.

Just like the order issued by the government now, they just want to find such a balanced path!
