In Jiang Feng's idea, the Ministry of Energy was to build a super-large ministry, and all parts involving energy utilization, energy planning and energy production were classified into this super-large ministry. Even the State Environmental Protection Administration, which has a great authority, has become increasingly important after joining the WTO, was included in it...

The reason for doing this is based on a concept of the large energy industry, and at the same time, in order to meet the needs of senior tailoring government agencies.

The development of domestic environmental protection industries is relatively slow. Since the 1980s, various places have been feeling their way through the river in promoting market-oriented environmental protection reforms.

Represented by investment promotion for water construction projects, in the late 1980s, some cities began water investment reform. Urban government agencies obtained inter-government loans or international financial organizations through direct or indirect guarantees. In this round of investment attraction, more than 100 projects in major cities were involved, but the investment attraction did not involve property rights relations.

After the central government prohibited urban government axes from participating in direct financing activities such as guarantees, the second phase of investment exploration began in the mid-1990s. Foreign capital began to invest in urban water plant projects in the form of cooperative operations and guaranteed fixed returns, which also avoided the clear problem of property rights relations and only clarified the return on investment.

In the late 1990s, the third phase of reform exploration, represented by a large number of wave t-type methods, began. For a single newly built project, the wave t-type liberalized limited property rights of a certain period of time, realizing effective financing of the project, but avoided the disposal of the original assets of the urban water industry.

With the full implementation of the reform of urban water enterprises, the separation of the functions of government and public management and asset investors, especially after the 2002nd National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the property rights reform of water enterprises has truly begun. The transfer of part of the equity of urban water enterprises such as Mingzhu, Nanfang, and Yazhou marks the marketization of the water industry has entered the stage of property rights system reform.

At the end of 2001, the State Planning Commission issued the "Notice on Issuing Several Opinions on Promoting and Guiding Private Investment", pointing out that the investment field should be gradually relaxed. Except for special regulations in the state, private investment should be encouraged and allowed to enter in any field that encourages and allows foreign investment to enter; private investment should be encouraged and guided to participate in the construction of infrastructure and public welfare projects through sole proprietorship, cooperation, joint ventures, equity participation, franchise and other means.

The release of this "Notice" marks the recognition of the franchise model.

At the end of 2002, the Ministry of Construction issued the "Opinions on Accelerating the Marketization Process of Municipal Public Utilities Industry", requiring the use of institutional innovation and mechanism innovation as the driving force, to ensure the public's interests and promote the development of municipal public utilities industry as the purpose of accelerating the marketization process of municipal public utilities. Social funds and foreign capital are encouraged to adopt various forms such as sole proprietorship, joint ventures, and cooperation to participate in the construction of municipal public facilities, and form a diversified investment structure.

Overall, Jiang Feng has learned from some advanced foreign experience and elevated some of the powers under the State Administration of Environmental Protection to the status of national energy, especially for special energy such as water resources, to a very high position. The topic of environmental protection itself is inseparable from the effective utilization of energy, energy conservation and emission reduction.

As long as a new Ministry of Energy is established, these problems can be solved in a coordinated manner without continuing to argue like now and being unable to control things.

"But if this is the case, wouldn't it be upgraded to an agency of the State Environmental Protection Administration in 1998? Will it be necessary to face dissolution once? Without the brand of the State Environmental Protection Administration, what does the people think about this?" Some people also expressed different opinions.

The current State Environmental Protection Administration was upgraded to the standard of the General Administration after flood control and disaster relief in 1998. At that time, it was probably because of the important surnames of environmental protection work that made this decision.

Ding Yongjun immediately responded to this: "Many domestic work has obvious headaches to treat the head and foot pain. It does not mean that by placing a sign from the State Environmental Protection Administration and upgrading the specifications to the State Administration, domestic environmental protection work can be done well. In fact, nominal changes are useless. The change from the State Administration of Environmental Protection to the State Administration of Environmental Protection did not bring much benefit to the country, and the investment and return are seriously disproportionate. As far as my personal opinion is concerned, it is better to do less such things. The key is to solve the problem in essence. Build a large Ministry of Energy and integrate the power of the State Administration of Environmental Protection to integrate energy utilization, management, planning, and output, which is more conducive to the development of the whole society."

This made some people feel uncomfortable when they heard it, but they couldn't find any fault. Once someone said this, it was just like that. This was the same as the propaganda slogan "The people are xx for the people, and do xx for the people" appeared in a period. There were slogans everywhere on the streets, but they were still the same when they did not serve the people, and they were still as if they were old.

This is enough to see that if you want to do a good job in environmental protection, it is not as simple as upgrading the Environmental Protection Bureau to the State Administration of Environmental Protection. The improvement of administrative level has no practical influence on doing work.

And there is another point that the State Administration of Environmental Protection does not have a complete set of effective comprehensive governance methods except for fines. Therefore, the emergence of the State Administration of Environmental Protection is of no significance to the environmental protection cause, except being criticized by others.

In the past decade, domestic environmental law enforcement supervision and pollution control efforts have been continuously strengthened, investment in environmental protection has increased significantly, and public environmental awareness has been significantly improved.

However, Zhengfu has been under a lot of pressure in the environmental protection industry. And evading responsibilities in order to reduce the burden has also affected the normal development of the environmental protection industry. If a modern environmental management model cannot be established as soon as possible and promote the healthy development of China's environmental protection industry, it is very dangerous.

In fact, as early as the 1980s, China proposed that environmental protection should take the market-oriented path, but what is the environmental protection model that adapts to the market economy? China has never understood this point.

The emergence of environmental problems has its economic roots, which inevitably determines the possibility of economic activities intervening in environmental protection. Through innovating economic systems, such as price and property rights systems, pollution and environmental resource users can choose production and operation methods that are conducive to the environment based on their own economic interests, rely on technological progress and clean production technology to improve economic production efficiency, change the traditional economic growth model, and reduce the pressure on human economic activities on the resources and environment.

The existing environmental protection operation mode unilaterally emphasizes political and axe behavior, only focusing on input and not output, and neglects the basic laws of economic activities, making the environmental protection cause lack of economic benefits, thus deepening the opposition between environmental protection and economic development, and hindering the development of environmental protection cause.

To solve environmental problems, we must establish various environmental management systems that are compatible with the market economy, including political and axe policies. We must abandon the previous practice of relying on political and axe directly to control management, adopt economic means, establish a diversified investment system through market policy management, and distribute the environmental investment share of each pollution manufacturer through market-oriented means.

The country needs to be responsible for the construction of some environmental infrastructure with strong technology, comprehensive pollution control across regions, and environmental management and supervision, to provide cutting-edge technology for the clean production of enterprises, and to restrict the pollution of the environment and destroy the ecology through designated environmental policies, laws and regulations, management systems and environmental planning, and to give certain policy preferences in dealing with corporate environmental investment, such as implementing preferential policies for loan interest rates for environmental investment projects, etc., to guide and encourage enterprises and society to jointly protect the environment.

Ding Yongjun said: "Environmental protection should be transformed from past political and axe behaviors to a market and corporate behavior driven by economic interest mechanisms. Adopting economic systems can enable enterprises to choose the minimum cost pollution control technology and have a flexible name for paying fees. It encourages enterprises to reduce more pollution than required by standards. Establish an effective cost selection mechanism, carry out environmental pollution prevention and control, directly reduce pollution, and reduce costs, establish a good image of the enterprise, and achieve a win-win effect of the environment and the economy."

"This mechanism has achieved good results in Japan. my country should also implement a total pollution discharge fee system, and through the method that the pollution discharge fee is greater than the treatment fee, enterprises can adopt pollution prevention and control measures and choose clean production roads. In addition, it is necessary to strengthen the system construction and implementation of enterprise environmental management, so that enterprises can form self-disciplined environmental management behavior in industrial pollution prevention and control. Developing environmental protection industries and urging enterprises to choose clean production methods, which can not only control pollution from the perspective of the enterprise, but also guide individual environmental protection behavior from the consumption direction, such as choosing green packaging and reducing waste."

In any case, in order to achieve effective supervision and governance, only by combining the environmental protection industry with the idea of ​​the Ministry of Energy can we reduce resource waste and at the same time unify it into a general overall scope to solve the problem from the root. This approach is that if the Ministry of Environmental Protection meets the standards, it will directly cut you off from the source. Without environmental protection, there will be no energy. Power supervision is in one hand and there is the ability to kill and kill enterprises.
