It is easy to say that China ought to shift towards renewable energy, such as solar, wind or hydroelectric power, but the problem is that diversifying energy sources is always a relative concept. Renewable energy sources draw a lot of attention in the US, but in reality, they represent only a small share of consumption. The share is even smaller in China. For example, China is a major producer of solar panels, which require a great deal of raw materials to manufacture, thus generating a considerable amount of pollution, and yet hardly uses them at all. It is a folly that China makes these panels at great environmental expense, while all the environmental benefits generated by the panels go to the countries that it exports them to. The fact is that an absolute cap on carton emissions holds the most promise for effectively easing China’s reliance on coal and reducing its carbon footprint. It is no way to achieve this, however, without the country making dramatic changes to its growth strategy. It is a politically and economically complicated task, but it can be done. First, China must stop its obsessions with GDP growth. For over twenty years now, the leadership has been relentlessly fixated on growth of around 8 percent a year. It has achieved by emphasizing the development of heavy industry, rather than investing in the service sector or light industry. It is clear that blindly encouraging industry and consumption in ways that damage the earth and degrade the air is unsustainable and unnecessary. There is some evidence that China is gradually realizing this: the government said recently that an acceptable range for growth this year is between7 and 7.5 percent. Second, China must change how it promotes political officials. Traditionally, they advance on the basis of how well they drive GDP growth. It has become the de facto measure of government achievement. However, the practice need to change. It will require China to rewrite its political playbook and judge its leader on more complex social measurements.
