  1. Amaya, thanks for sharing these. I am pulling together another alternative energy post and I will send folks your way for the charts. Seeing what is happening in Beijing should be proof by itself. The sad tale is we need to do much more in the US, but we need China to do even more, as they dwarf us in people and when even more get cars there…..Take care, BTG

    • Thanks, BTG. I’ve read that China is making great strides in renewable energy and has a working plan to do even more. They are actually global leaders in the renewable energy market.

  2. I read that as well. They just have a longer hill to climb with their numbers of people. When more Chinese use resources we are accustomed to it impacts the planet even more. Yet, they are doing better than we are on alternative energy initiatives. Many thanks. This is terrific stuff. BTG
