Abstract
The Chinese government clearly supports the vigorous promotion of green development and strives to solve outstanding environmental problems when planning future development. For energy resources, China should establish and develop a green low-carbon cyclic economic system; promote the revolution of energy production and consumption, comprehensive conservation, and recycling of resources; and advocate a simple, moderate, green, and low-carbon lifestyle.
