Recent media reports frequently, power situation is grim this summer, nearly two months in Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Anhui and other provinces has emerged the phenomenon of power cuts. East China Power Grid Company, according to forecasts, this year's summer peak period, the whole network of East China power shortage is expected to reach about 19 million kilowatts. At the same time, wind and solar power equipment, excess capacity also are frequent newspaper reports. I asked not to discuss the electricity shortage of factors behind the price of coal and industrial structure of the problems, to solve the problem only from the perspective of questions. Can ease the use of clean energy present in the electricity shortage, also in line with the strategic direction of energy saving, glue gun why there is not enough thermal power, the so-called excess cleaner energy but this puzzling phenomenon? Why emerging industry development plan has not yet issued, full development has not yet begun to excess of production capacity?
Question mark behind it reflects the development of our new energy or, more broadly the way the emerging industry issues. In the absence of breakthroughs in key technical barriers to the consumer market did not open until the new industries to expand production to the blind, in violation of industry rules. Wind and solar energy fields, glue stick especially typical.
Wind power and solar power, a sense is "the sky to eat", generating capacity may be very unstable, if the Internet will bring instability in the grid. Therefore, the smart grid research and development must be a breakthrough to resolve the wind power and solar power storage technology barriers to the Internet, the real nature has provided the use of clean energy was feasible. If you do not solve the fundamental technical problems, it is impossible to use market consumption and the expansion of production scale expansion can only be the result of excess capacity out. This is the one hand, we recently encountered serious "power shortage", on the other hand is a serious wind power and solar embarrassment of excess capacity. It should be noted that the consumption of clean energy are often clean, the production process is pollution. If you do not open the consumer market to expand production, not only will energy conservation, the result may be counterproductive.
Whether traditional industries and emerging industries, the development has its own laws, should be the basic development process, research and development - the market - the scale of production.
The development of a new industry in the clear positioning, new product development, the first step large-scale investment in product research and development. If there is no multi-touch technology and Apple's proprietary operating system, basic technical support for the development of huge, there can be no iPod, iPad, iPhone series of new products such as Apple's successful launch of the first times. Apple has every single product of a long R & D investment. Have the basic technology, research and development process of tablet PCs are still more than two years.
I teach a case many years ago, recorded a treatment for AIDS ATZ R & D investment, which lasted for several years at a cost of 2.5 billion.
Last July the United States passed a motion of $ 2,000,000,000, for the development of clean energy vehicles, more recently, a motion to invest more than billion dollars, were committed to new power and the traditional mechanical power conversion, charging time and other technical barriers to reduce and the strengthening of the charging station infrastructure.
A few days ago to see a picture of the new German economy minister in Berlin, Naples Harrell test drive an electric car. German Chancellor Angela Merkel announced the same day, in order for the German market in the future of electric vehicles can be leading, the Government will double within the next few years, R & D funding, tax incentives and the use of electric cars, "privilege" to facilitate a three-pronged measures boost development of electric vehicles in Germany.
Seen in developed countries, to follow the law of development of new industries, government investment into the bulk of R & D funding. Mentioned above, a huge 2.5 billion on AIDS drugs R & D funds, 18 billion from government investment, the government another 700 million funding for open tender, which agency is willing to support the 7 billion of funds, it will have a future of drug patents. We can make use of this idea is not entirely fair to promote the emerging industry of practical R & D investment it?
Industrial development of the second step, is to promote the use and market consumption.
