节能减排:既是攻坚之战,更是背水一战

Energy Saving and Pollution Reduction： A battle that is hard, but has to be won

今年两会期间，“节能减排”成为热门话题。一时间，代表热议、媒体聚焦、公众关心、领导关注。 4月19日，在全国铁路第六次大提速的次日，国家统计局发布2007年一季度国民经济运行情况。一季度，国内生产总值50287亿元，同比增长11、1％，超过《十一五规划》预期3、6个百分点。若全年都在此高位运行，用业界普遍采用的方法计算（GDP每增加一个百分点，煤炭多消耗2000万吨，二氧化硫多产生30多万吨），今年一年就要新增24L多吨的煤炭消耗和300多万吨二氧化硫产生量，其中前者高于计划预期7000多万吨，

＂Energy saving and pollution reduction＂ has become a hot topic during the annual meeting of the National People＇s Congress early this year. The heated debate, media focus and attention from both the decision-makers and the public have occurred for a reason. According to the State Statistics Bureau＇s report on the first quarter economic performance, the GDP reached 5.0287 trillion RMB, 3.6 percentage points higher than a year ago. If the trend holds, it is forecast that the country will have to burn 200 million more tons of coal and to generate three million more tons of sulfur dioxide in 2007.
