Considering the status quo that China’s energy structure is heavily dependent on coal，it is still a long way to go for China to achieve low-carbon energy system. This article attempts to stimulate public policy debate of energy transformation and promote rational communication amongst policy-makers，researchers，advocates and action groups. This would be a continuous and lengthy process，but we believe that open-minded and long-term targeted policy discussion will play an active role in promoting a rational，effective and just energy transformation. Topics covers in this article are all directly related to energy supply and demand，including the character of shale gas in future 10-15 years，uncertainties in renewable energy employment，low carbon strategy in transportation，and the overestimation of power consumption prediction. All these aspects have demonstrated that it will be a huge systematic project for China to achieve a sustainable energy transformation in the next 30-40 years. In this process，we need to push equitable participation of all stakeholders through an inclusive and dynamic solution.
