Oil Drum comment.. AlanfromBigEasy on November 29, 2009 - 11:28am Would that the USA was doing half as much as China towards mitigation ! 1) 16 new nukes under construction and many dozens more planned.(Rat thinks they just announced 125 or so more) 2) New hydro plans that rival nuke plans 3) Increased energy efficiency 4) 2 GW solar PV underway 5) New wind almost = to USA in 2008 (new wind is about all we are doing) 6) 20,000 km of rail lines being electrified 7) Shanghai from zero to biggest subway system in the world. Beijing may end up being #2 in the world. 8) A MAJORITY of solar hot water systems in the world are being installed in China There is reasonable hope that China will start idling more of their coal fired plants soon (~2016). Can the USA say the same ?
