The State Council of China’s cabinet will soon release the details of a staggeringly large “new energy” programme that could make China a global leader in renewable energy and low – carbon technology.

China, a country that already makes most of the world’s solar panels and wind turbines will invest, as reports in the domestic media and from foreign diplomats suggest, between 1.4 trillion (US$200 bn) and 4.5 trillion yuan (US$600bn) over the next ten years in nuclear power plant, solar and wind farms, hydroelectric dams, “green transport”, “clean coal” and super efficient electric grids.

Called the Yellow Dragon, it can cover houses, cars and people, causing coughs and other ailments. As part of its drive to make 2008 the year of the Green Olympics, Beijing officials started a huge campaign to grow a 2,800 mile defensive line of forestry, called the Great Green Wall. Also part of the Green Olympics initiative was the added importance given to China’s National Tree Planting Day on 12 March.  Many visitors to Beijing now comment on how visibly greener the nation’s capital has become.
