China Wind Power Unmasked

In 2010, China overtook the United States as the global leader in installed wind power capacity, representing yet another triumph in the much-hyped clean tech race between the world’s two largest economies. Looking beyond the numbers, however, the true nature of China’s wind energy development appears far more bleak.

Nuclear Could Be a Baseload Answer Says Expert

China’s Energy Grab Is No Green Affair

China’s clean energy spending, indeed, is at a high monetary level, but what the President fails to mention is the utterly massive level of spending that the Chinese have embarked upon in pursuit of expanding their traditional energy portfolio. As Kate MacKenzie points out in her recent Financial Times piece, Chinese national oil companies have embarked on a “mega-spree” of fossil energy foreign acquisitions, accounting in fact for almost 20% of the world’s global deal value in the first quarter of 2010.
