China set to take global lead in renewable energyThe emerging Asian superpower is poised to surpass world solar and wind manufacturing leaders in Europe, Japan, and North America in the next three years, the Worldwatch Institute said in a new report released on Wednesday. [EurActiv.com]
The trouble is, that will not just be nuclear and renewables, but coal as well...
I do think they sort of realise that the ecology is a real threat, but that kind of "Kremlinology" is guesswork, so who knows what the leaders really think?
If the previously-held "size of the economy" = 100, then 100-40 = 60. (The economy is "worth" 60% of what was claimed).
Unless my calculations are wrong, it takes 5 years at 11% to get back up past 100 from 60. When locusts move on, they leave nothing behind
