Despite the considerable sci-tech support and input，the sci-tech output and technological innovation are not satisfactory. With reference to the sci-tech development trend of the foreign energy industries，four suggestions on how to enhance the sci-tech competitive capability in home energy industries are put forward as follows：(1) Adjust the relationship between the government and the markets；(2) Establish a cooperative mechanism of technology development；(3) Target appropriate projects in technological innovation；(4) Adopt more consumption-oriented encouragement strategies.
