There is no one-size-fits-all answer to this question. Instead, it is necessary to balance the relationship between economic development and environmental protection according to specific goals, national conditions and the actual situation of each industry. Here are a few angles to consider: 1. Balance between economy and environment: Protecting industries with greater economic development benefits can sometimes stabilize employment, tax revenue and overall economic growth in the short term, which is indeed of great significance to the development of a country or region. But this does not mean that these industries can be exempted from environmental responsibilities. In fact, large industries often have higher emissions and heavier environmental burdens, which may erode environmental quality in the long run, and thus affect public health and sustainable development. 2. Differentiated policies and the "polluter pays" principle: Policymakers can consider adopting differentiated regulations or incentives. When an industry contributes more to the national economy, it can help it achieve energy efficiency improvement and clean production transformation by providing green technology, tax incentives, subsidies, etc. But at the same time, it is necessary to ensure that these industries assume corresponding environmental responsibilities and follow the "polluter pays" principle to prevent a "lose-lose" situation. 3. Fairness and long-term development considerations: If we simply favor industries with greater economic benefits and impose strict restrictions on other industries indiscriminately, it may lead to some industries being difficult to transform due to financial and technical constraints, forming an unfair competition pattern. Policies need to take into account fairness, protect industries that have a significant impact on the overall economy, and provide support for the transformation and upgrading of other industries to ensure that all fields can move towards low-carbon and green development. 4. Comprehensive and systematic policy framework: The goal of environmental protection policies should be the improvement of overall environmental quality and sustainable development, not just short-term economic benefits. Therefore, when formulating policies, the government can establish a scientific evaluation system to conduct a comprehensive evaluation of factors such as the economic benefits, environmental risks, and transformation potential of various industries, and formulate differentiated and targeted policy tools based on these data. This approach can not only meet the development needs of various industries, but also effectively promote the improvement of the ecological environment. In short, when formulating environmental protection policies, we need to consider both economic benefits and the importance of environmental protection. Protecting industries with greater economic development benefits does not mean lowering environmental standards, but can help these industries achieve green transformation through targeted incentives and support measures. At the same time, all industries should assume corresponding responsibilities under the country's overall environmental protection goals. Only in this way can a win-win situation for the economy and the environment be achieved.
