China competing for green energy crown with europe.
 
As I realize the need to get out and enjoy the final days of summer with a tennis racquet instead of pissing away my spare time, this article really has me upbeat yet feeling pretty down today.

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/c...om-Europe.html

Does it mean stable gas prices for years to come? Im not liking this from a Canadian perspective although it should be fantastic enviro/tech news. Ive just read a current Canadian best seller by a chief economist 'Why Your World Is About To Get Smaller'. It was like reading something Ive already read.

After reading the above article it makes the future even more difficult to forecast(for investors at least). This should be a nice month of news.(cring, cring.. awaiting for KT-event.)

the communist gov't sponsored a lot of these green energy projects. Similar to what the
koreans were doing in the 80s 90s, they invite foreign investors to have a joint venture
with the gov't operated groups, and provide them incentives to come up with something
extraodinary to supply the local demand.

I'm sure the foreign countries/gov'ts are laughing their heads off when China says they
want to go green, but they've done many things that shut everybody up.

Like the BYD electric car, solar powered street lights in Beijing and Shanghai, the solar
panel fields in GuangZhou area, the windmill in Zhu Hai area, the wind and wave energy
in HK etc etc

What wind and wave energy in Hong Kong? That tiny windmill on top of the HK Electric transformer in Wan Chai... or those tiny windmills on the island that no one cares about?

I am still breathing in toxic fumes every day while China is hiding behind their third-world status (first-world financial environment and third-world human rights and living condition) in order to not follow the Kyoto Protocol. I am sure they will continue to take advantage of that third-world status for a long time...

^ they are building large willmills in the middle of the sea (far east of HK island) in hk.
Good enough to power up the city of Tseung Kwan O.

The technology of wave energy was introduced many years ago by a foreign professor
who live in HK. It has been tested by CU or HKU, can't remember, not sure what
happened afterward, but it exists.
