"In my state, about 20% of our energy comes from renewable fuel (mostly nuclear and hydro with a little wind)"
LMAO...
nuclear (fission) ISN´T renewable (and its not green energy either for
that matter contrary to their claims; because of nuclear waste mostly).
"but we can never get all of our energy from wind, and neither can China."
yes
i´m certian the US could they could also completely power the US with
solar... and so can china... EVEN with current technology.
``I would hate for us to go to more wind generators because we give up a lot of land for little ROI.``
so does nuclear power after you factor in waste and pollution that has that area unusable for life or SAFE agriculture.
``These things are behemoths and each one is typically only 1MWH.```
they can easily produce 7MW of power now on the high end:
http://en.wikipedia.org/ ``That
statement surprised me as we all know the current potential of wind
power. The research, I assume, figures in advances to technology, but
to see a statement like that from respected research teams was
surprising.``
no it doesn`t, it saying their is enough wind
resources in china (much of which is their coast or offshore) tio power
the entire country if they kept building wind turbines as they have
been.

``Blah blah blah china is awesome USA is wrong``
ah! another intellectual comment from pexa....LMAO
"Myth #9: China´s greenhouse gas emissions are about the same as America´s.
Truth: China´s emissions are as much as 25 percent larger, and the gap is widening every day.``
and yet PER CAPITA (which is what i was talking about and even said so) the US is still roughly 350-400% higher.
``The
effort to limit greenhouse-gas emissions is not usually thought of as a
topic when discussing the Chinese economy, but it should be.``
and
as i pointed out, they are actually taking it seriously, and have more
than established that can be entirely green powered in 2 decades...
if
you want to prove how `awesome`the US is, lets see them been china in
the race to green... because per capita thats not a race they are even
remotely close to winning, and more-over they don`t seem to have any
intention of doing so.

`but there
are many more. stop quoting wikipedia. it´s like quoting what the
little kid down the street said his mom´s uncle´s grandma´s sister´s
friend said`
and to prove your point your post a BLOG which ANYONE can create...
OH THE IRONY.
your
right it CAN be edited by anyone, but you see those numbers they have
occasional in their article... that the equivilent to a bibliography in
a book.. i`m sure you had to learn that what was in school.... or in
short they are the sources the article is based on... which makes them
(proveing they have a source) as reliable as any new we see here (on
internet news sites) or MOST of what we see on tv news as well, or most
of ANY study EVER done.
wikipedia is perfectly good for quoting general information.
