| Hi all, I don't read all previous comments so I might just make that very annoying newcomer mistake of repeating something that was already discussed. I have to say, I think China is very serious about alternative energy sources, although I only have experience in the field of cars and other vehicles. The biggest advantages for developing countries like China might be leapfrogging, and I think that might be the case with alternative energy--instead of becoming wholly dependent on gas monsters like America, China is developing hybrid vehicles and has a strong central government to make every average Joe pay extra money to drive around cleaner cars. Of course, this doesn't solve the issue of paying off an official, nor does it really have to do with the one child policy issue. But it does show SOME foresight on the part of the government. |
