This video shows how China outpaces the US on GREEN ENERGY
ADAM GARRIE, SENIOR EDITOR, THE DURAN
China is fast becoming the world leader in green energy production and in the innovation of technologies to more effectively harness green energy.
National Geographic reports,
“Chinese manufacturing has changed the economics of renewable power around the world, making solar generation cost-competitive with electricity from fossil fuels like natural gas and even coal. It has brought change closer to home too, as China rolls out the world’s biggest investment in clean energy—motivated in part by a desire to ease the atrocious air pollution that kills an estimated 1.1 million of its people every year.
‘The installation rates are absolutely mind-blowing,’ says Lauri Myllyvirta, an energy and air pollution expert at Greenpeace in Beijing. China added 35 gigawatts of new solar generation in 2016 alone. ‘That’s almost equal to Germany’s total capacity, just in one year,’ Myllyvirta says.
Every hour, China erects another wind turbine and installs enough solar panels to cover a soccer field, according to Greenpeace estimates”
China continues to phase out coal energy to be replaced by green solutions including large solar-panel installations, hydro-electric energy and wind turbine farms.
The following video shows how last month, all of Qinghai Province became powered 100% be green energy.

China Is Positioning Themselves As The Clean Energy Superpower... Why Aren't We?
For one thing, the Chinese government is not a subsidiary of the military and the oil industry. For another, China has a system that is far removed from the inherent and pervasive corruption of US-style capitalism.

The Best Definition of Donald Trump We Have Found
In his zeal to prove to his antagonists in the War Party that he is as bloodthirsty as their champion, Hillary Clinton, and more manly than Barack Obama, Trump seems to have gone “play-crazy” -- acting like an unpredictable maniac in order to terrorize the Russians into forcing some kind of dramatic concessions from their Syrian allies, or risk Armageddon.However, the “play-crazy” gambit can only work when the leader is, in real life, a disciplined and intelligent actor, who knows precisely what actual boundaries must not be crossed. That ain’t Donald Trump -- a pitifully shallow and ill-disciplined man, emotionally handicapped by obscene privilege and cognitively crippled by white American chauvinism. By pushing Trump into a corner and demanding that he display his most bellicose self, or be ceaselessly mocked as a “puppet” and minion of Russia, a lesser power, the War Party and its media and clandestine services have created a perfect storm of mayhem that may consume us all.— Glen Ford, Editor in Chief, Black Agenda Report
