The biggest wind power farm in China

clipped from blog.reegle.info Wind power now seems to be the best choice for many countries in an effort to switch to renewable energy sources. Wind power is attractive in both economic as well as environmental regards. It delivers not only economic development benefits, but it’s also a safe source for the China’s (and the rest of the world’s) growing appetite for energy. Especially in China, where coal is still a prime source, and some recent fatal accidents at mining facilities makes security a more important parameter. The Chinese Government has identified the development of wind power as one of the key economic growth areas, especilly in times of financial crisis. China’s targets set in the NDRC (National Development and Reform Commission) Energy Plan (2007) regarding wind capacity could be reached well ahead of its time in 2011 (instead of 2020), and looks likely to surpass even the country’s nuclear power target. The target was set to be 30 000 MW.
