With the implementation of the "coal ban" and the increasing efforts to comprehensively control air pollution, rural residents have encountered difficulties in solving the heating problem. Although the "coal-to-gas" pilot project in rural areas has been implemented in many places, it faces a series of problems. First of all, the entrance fee is too high. Farmers want to use clean and hygienic natural gas, but the cost of opening an account is expensive, ranging from 35,000 yuan to 18,000 yuan. This is difficult for rural residents, who are relatively financially difficult, to afford such high costs. Secondly, usage fees are also an issue. With natural gas for heating, the cost of gas is much higher than the installation cost throughout the winter. It needs to be used constantly to keep warm, and the consequence of such a large consumption of gas is a high cost, even more than the monthly income of most farmers. It is difficult for rural residents to bear such cost pressures. In addition, there are also problems of unsatisfactory heating effect and gas cut-off. Natural gas heating is not common among rural residents, but residents who have used it say that in the cold winter, the heating effect of natural gas is not satisfactory, and the temperature is difficult to reach the ideal state. Moreover, in the case of insufficient gas supply, there is often a phenomenon of gas outage, causing villagers to wake up in the cold winter night. This has raised questions about the practicality of natural gas heating in rural areas.
Faced with the dilemma of "coal-to-gas" in rural areas, we need to actively explore ways to solve the heating problem of rural residents. First of all, it is necessary to provide more preferential policy support to reduce the cost of natural gas to households and reduce the economic burden of rural residents. Second, increase the publicity of rural residents to use natural gas, and improve their awareness and acceptance of natural gas heating. At the same time, it is also necessary to strengthen the stability of natural gas, ensure the continuity of gas supply, and reduce the occurrence of gas outages. In addition, we can also carry out research and promotion of low-carbon heating technologies with rural characteristics as the theme, such as the use of clean energy such as biomass and solar energy for heating, which can not only meet the heating needs of rural residents, but also reduce air pollution. Finally, it is necessary to strengthen the maintenance and management of rural heating equipment to ensure its normal operation and safe use.
From the problem of "coal-to-gas" in rural areas, we can see the contradiction between reform and people's livelihood. The promotion of clean energy is to improve air quality and improve the quality of life of residents, but it also needs to take into account the economic capacity and actual situation of rural residents. When implementing clean energy policies, all factors must be fully taken into account, and one size fits all. ** Guided by actual results, more reasonable policies and measures should be formulated according to the actual needs and economic capacity of rural residents to solve the heating problem of rural residents. At the same time, it is also necessary to more actively promote and popularize low-carbon heating technologies to improve the heating methods and living environment quality of rural residents.
In short, improving the heating problem of rural residents requires not only first-class policy support, but also the joint efforts of all sectors of society. Only through the active cooperation and efforts of all parties can we achieve real improvement in rural heating methods, improve the quality of life of rural residents, protect the environment and meet the needs of the people. This is also the embodiment of social progress, and at the same time, it is also the need of a country's development. It is hoped that in the future, there will be more measures and methods to solve the heating problem of rural residents, so that they can live a warmer and more comfortable winter.
