Dear MEL Topic Readers,
The benefits of ‘floating’ solar power
China is on the move. While the other superpower, the U.S., is stepping away from the fight against the global warming for the sake of their domestic industry and democratic elections, China is gearing towards a cleaner energy supply. Though China produces more greenhouse gases than any other country in the world for now, they are determined to go greener. They are strictly limiting the number of license plates for conventional automobiles in major cities and giving financial incentives for electric vehicles. The government-backed power companies are investing heavily in building factories to produce batteries for electric vehicles. But what about the electricity? They are indeed burning substantial coal to generate over the half of the total electricity for now. In the meantime, they’ve been installing solar panels on the land and water faster than most of you think, and now they have two-thirds of the world’s solar panels.
Solar panels on water?
Enjoy watching the video and learn how seriously and eagerly China is working on cleaner energy solutions.
