以贵州省“西电东送”的火力发电为切入点,从煤炭开采、高硫煤、石漠化、利益分配4个方面进行综合分析。结果表明,火力发电的迅速发展使煤炭开采问题更加严重,生态环境恶化;利益分配不均衡使政府环保投入远远不足。最后根据火力发电给贵州可持续发展带来的影响提出了相应的对策与建议。 Taking Guizhou Province as the starting point, this paper analyzes the four aspects of coal mining, high sulfur coal, rocky desertification and profit distribution. The results show that the rapid development of thermal power makes the problem of coal mining more serious and the ecological environment worsened. The unbalanced distribution of benefits makes the government’s environmental protection investment far insufficient. Finally, according to the influence of thermal power generation on the sustainable development in Guizhou, some countermeasures and suggestions are put forward.
