Yang Fuqiang thinks it is unreasonable to make energy-producing provinces such as Inner Mongolia solely responsible for cutting carbon emissions. If it benefits, it has to help cut carbon. It could then explore local heating systems, using waste heat from factories and power plants rather than building new boilers.
