Solar power and wind
power are the two most promising options of how
power will be provided in the future. Technology is
improving all the time. We are on the brink of a
renewable energy revolution. And nowhere is the need
for renewable energy greater than in China. It is
now officially the biggest emitter of carbon in the
world. It may be the world’s biggest polluter but
it’s also leading the way in finding solutions. In
solar power technology and in wind farms, China is
making huge improvements. Interviews include Li
Jungfeng, the Deputy Director General of Beijing’s
Energy Research Institute & Secretary General of the
China Renewable Energy Industries Association. He’s
one of the key figures in China’s renewable
revolution. The programme also goes to Wuxi, near
Shanghai, where we meet Dr Shi, head of Suntech, a
solar panel manufacturing company. It was the first
Chinese company to float on the New York stock
exchange and has made Dr Shi one of the richest men
in China..
