Current trends are putting China on an unsustainable and insecure energy growth path, characterized by the use of enormous quantities of ""dirty"" coal and an alarming oil import dependence. The authors find that what is urgently needed is a high-level commitment to an integrated, coordinated, and comprehensive policy that is set in the framework of the energy law currently being prepared.Directions in development (Washington, D.C.).Energy and mining.Energy industriesEnvironmental aspectsChinaEnergy policyEnvironmental aspectsChinaEnergy developmentEnvironmental aspectsChinaElectronic books.Energy industriesEnvironmental aspectsEnergy policyEnvironmental aspectsEnergy developmentEnvironmental aspects333.790951Berrah Noureddine1031577World Bank.MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910454412203321Sustainable energy in China2449005UNINA
