BEIJING, Nov. 25 (Xinhua) -- A senior Chinese academic has called for the government to spark an "energy revolution" by forming specialist policy think tanks and building showcase projects as well as pouring in investment and encouraging innovation.

China lags behind developed countries in the energy sector, relying on imported core technology, warned Xie Kechang, vice president of the Chinese Association of Science and Technology and a member of Chinese Academy of Engineering.

The country should formulate a blueprint for developing energy technology focusing on greater efficiency, use of fossil fuels, smart power grids, renewable resources and advanced nuclear power, said Xie.

He urged the government to carry out institutional reforms to facilitate innovation. Encouraging private investment would help with establishing think tanks and projects capable of steering and inspiring others with best practice, according to the academic.

Under a plan announced by the Communist Party of China earlier this month, the country will innovate to build a clean, low-carbon, safe and efficient modern energy system in the next five years.

It is aiming to have non-fossil energy fulfill 15 percent of its total energy needs by 2020. Coal currently accounts for about 66 percent of national primary energy consumption, 35 percentage points higher than the world average. Editor: Hou Qiang

I wonder how many homes could be heated and meals cooked with the energy that governments around the world waste every day?

I KNOW that the money governments have spent waging senseless wars over the last couple of centuries would be enough to seriously improve the energy efficiency of every home on earth.

Governments could do all the good they wanted on a deluxe level. They just don't want to -- not what they're about. Looking for one of those accounts of what could be done with the money instead, I'm finding only rather institutional views. This one's not bad

“It is now highly feasible to take care of everybody on Earth at a higher standard of living than any have ever known. It no longer has to be you or me. Selfishness is unnecessary. War is obsolete. It is a matter of converting the high technology from weaponry to livingry.” – R. Buckminster Fuller

You can improve home energy efficiency by cleaning meat and other styrofoam trays, putting them in styrofoam grape and other boxes that stores discard and laying boxes in your attic. Styrofoam seems to last a long time when kept out of the sun.
