  • As Renewables In China Surge, Some Questions Are Raised

    China is leading the world in renewable energy, with President Xi Jinping committing to reducing greenhouse gas emissions and expanding renewable energy sixfold. The country has developed a massive renewable energy development in Tibet, including the Talatan Solar Park providing 16,930 megawatts of power. China is rapidly expanding its clean energy infrastructure, utilizing smart ideas to address excess renewable energy and reducing air pollution by 41 percent since 2014. Despite concerns about the impact of ultra-high-voltage power lines on nearby residents, the benefits of breathing cleaner air from renewable energy sources far outweigh the drawbacks. Renewable energy advocates should emphasize these benefits more strongly in discussions about their impact on homes and the economy.
