| Winds of Change - China |
 |
Sep 2007
As world leaders meet for another round of
global warming talks, the focus is likely to
be on big polluters like China. The country
has recently become the world's biggest CO2
emitter.
Currently, 80% of China's energy comes from
coal. Mindful of the pollution these power
stations generate, the government is
investing billions in renewable energy.
"China is probably going to be the world's
number one renewable energy country",
predicts businessman Mark Kelleher. By 2020,
16% of the country's energy must come from
renewable sources. Much of this will be
generated by wind farms. "This area has
really developed since the wind power station
was built", enthuses one local. "When the
wind power station came, people got jobs".
