China getting wind tech from Germany, Denmark
The world’s largest wind power project will be launched in Hebei Province, near Beijing this month. It should be operational within two years, and eventually generate 400 megawatts of electricity a day. (This compares with 60 megawatts at North Hoyle, the largest current British project.) The technology will come from Germany and Denmark.
China is without doubt the world’s most polluted country, also the largest consumer of coal. Fortunately the Chinese now consider wind power to be as cheap as coal, as well as being environmentally preferable.
