Recently, a puzzling incident occurred in Zanhuang County, Hebei Province. According to reports, two elderly men in their 70s bought more than 1 ton of coal for heating in the cold of winter. However, after only a few days of coal burning, the staff of the town ** suddenly came and blamed the existence of the coal pile and cleared the old man's briquettes.
It is worth noting that this is not the first time that similar incidents have occurred. In the winter of 2018, Quyang County, Hebei Province, issued a notice saying that it had "detained" two people who burned low-quality loose coal, which sparked widespread discussion. However, the briefing was later clarified as a misrepresentation, and the two persons were not detained, but only educated in criticism. For example, residents in a small district in Taiyuan City have no access to natural gas and can only rely on firewood and waste furniture for heating. In another village, the village council even blocked the stoves in each house, sealing the stoves with bricks and mud, making it impossible for residents to heat their homes properly. These behaviors have undoubtedly aroused strong public concern and heated discussions.
The impact of this incident on society and the elderly cannot be ignored. In the case of increasingly serious air pollution, it is very necessary and urgent to introduce a coal ban policy. However, due to the lack of publicity and policy implementation, there is still a large gap in people's understanding and acceptance of the coal ban policy. On the one hand, the elderly are Xi to using loose coal for heating, and they do not know enough about clean briquettes, so they are more inclined to buy higher bulk coal. On the other hand, the lack of information on the use of clean briquettes has led to poisoning of some people, which has given a negative impression to the clean briquettes. The existence of these problems has made the elderly and some people resist the coal ban policy and choose to continue to use low-quality loose coal.
This incident has attracted widespread attention and discussion on the Internet. Many netizens expressed skepticism about the inconsistencies in the official response and questioned whether the official was hiding the truth. The incident also sparked a discussion about the quality and safety issues between loose coal and briquettes. Why do the old people choose to use low-quality loose coal instead of clean briquettes?Is it because the ** of loose coal is more expensive, but the combustion effect is better, or is there another reason?There is still no clear answer to this question.
It is not yet known whether there is an update on the matter. However, this incident had a great impact on society as a whole. It exposes the problems in the promotion and implementation of the coal ban policy, and also reveals the confusion and dissatisfaction of the elderly about the clean energy transition. In order to better promote the development of clean energy, it is necessary to strengthen the publicity and explanation of the coal ban policy and solve the problems of the elderly and the masses in heating.
Finally, I would like to ask readers a few questions. Do you know the use and characteristics of clean briquettes?What do you think about the phenomenon of older people using loose coal for heating?In the process of promoting the development of clean energy, how should we balance environmental protection and the interests of the elderly?Everyone is welcome to interact and discuss in the comment area and work together on this issue.
