Abstract

The evolving prospects for green revolution in China are decidedly promising. Its frantic search for a balance in its use of energy resources is driven not least by its fear and concern over basic food security and food price inflation as a result of drought, industrial contamination, and transport and fuel costs. A key indicator of commitment and intent is the Chinese auto development project in Shanghai. General Motors, having invested more than US$1 billion in hydrogen fuel-cell electric cars, is collaborating to produce a car for the Chinese market. Motivation to diversify and adopt alternative cleaner energies, such as hydro, nuclear, coal-seam gas, biomass, wind, solar, wave and other renewables could hardly be stronger. The environmental activities of China are being watched closely overseas — the UK All Party Parliamentary committee met in mid-2009 specifi cally to discuss the greening of China.
