As major economic powers gather for the G8 this week, China has set out its ambitious plan to reduce energy per GDP by 20% in 3 years.
QUOTE: "China is set to become the world's biggest greenhouse polluter any day soon but it now claims it can reduce its energy consumption, per unit of GDP, by 20 per cent over the next three years... Increased hydropower will reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 500 mega tonnes of CO2 by 2010. Increased nuclear power will reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 50 mega tonnes during the same period. Wind, solar, geothermal and tidal energy will reduce greenhouse emissions by 60 mega tonnes of CO2. China has also pledged to have 10 per cent of all power coming from renewable energy within three years. By 2020 renewable energy will make up 15 per cent of all power."
COMMENT: Unlike Climate Criminal Bush-ite Australia and Bush America, China (with agriculture, economy and major deltaic regions threatened by global warming) is taking active steps to contain CO2 pollution that is driving global warming.
Notwithstanding Bush-ite propaganda, the total fossil fuel-derived CO2 pollution is 27,043 megatonnes annually and fossil fuel-derived annual per capita CO2 pollution (in metric tonnes per person per year) is 4.2 for the World, 3.7 for China and about 20 for the US, Australia and Canada (see "Climate Criminals & Climate Genocide": http://mwcnews.net/content/view/13576/26/ ) .

Who's leading the conversation?
This visualization below allows you to see the impact that each user
has on the current conversation.
The top row contains the group of users who have had the most impact, the 2nd
row the group of users who have had the 2nd most impact (et cetera).
Users with similar impact are grouped together, and the average score of the group
is shown to the left of the group. The author of the article is also shown on the
left, in their corresponding group.
Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the
number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative
one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their
relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.

China needs to continue Pirating technologies particularly in the Green Energy sector. I think they need to be much more aggressive in flaunting patents.
