wow! 189 billion $'s! Now that's a good encouraging fact & makes me feel better that it's being taken serious enough to invest such a huge sum!

That $189 billion will produce a lot more money too. China is already the biggest producer of windmills and either first or second in solar panel production.

Canada and the US really missed the boat here...we could be selling technologies to China. Instead we're going to end up buying them. Let's hear it for short-sighted politicians with their heads jammed firmly in the tar sands.

Very interesting link but I tend to doubt that this will make any difference to China. At this stage, they are wealthy enough to di the lending and do not need the World Bank. Also, they may take an intiative in 2008 to go green but personally feel it will dissipate after the Olympics in August.

I read about that in popsci.... btw you realy should subsribe to that magazine its amazing

I think this is great and I agree that the US has missed the boat on this one also. I sure hope that China will not go back to their old ways after hosting the Olympics.

The US may not have missed the boat as China is searching for bidders on other green projects. Many corporations from the US will be bidding, so they may not take care of this on the home court but will make a fortune in China.

I think China is feeling the effects of their pollution rather quickly and no one there can logically argue against renewable energy. Unfortunately it is only a matter of time over here till we see more of an effect and then our government will step in.
