Green China

Whenever you read about environmental topics in China, the news is almost always bad. Whether it is problems with air quality in Beijing or water quality in the provinces, there is no shortage of bleak reports about the degradation of nature within China's borders. 

This may not be the full picture, though. True, China has a lot of polluting industries and generates a considerable amount of electricity from older coal-burning plants. The country also has the challenge of figuring out how to provide power, heat, and transportation to a huge population with increasing needs. But China also has considerable financial resources and a political structure that can more easily mandate and advance specific technologies.

With that in mind, it may not be too long before a green China is possible.
