Like the illusion of Wall Street, with its vast and powerful investment banks, now shuttered, China too is an illusion perpetuated by the Globalists that gave us the 15,000 mile Caesar salad, poisoned cat food and lead based paint on babies' pacifiers. Like the illusion that money would come from thin air to always push housing prices higher, China has spent a generation pursuing its illusion. Pursuing an unattainable dream to be like the West, while 6000 years of its carefully shepherded top soil blows into the sea.

woah this thread is dead.
I guess everybody would rather talk about pie-in-the-sky projects rather than what's happening "on the ground".
I guess the reason is different. There are already specialized energyblogs and websites like greencarcongress.com which document all more or less importand developments rather accurately. To re-report it here would be a helluva job. For example there are several GtL plants already operating and further GtLand CtL plants being built - but there is no report here about them. solar energy and wind energy are also being constantly built and you'd have a _hard_ time documenting that here.
I think it makes more sense to do reports on overall statistics like twice or thrice a year. _________________ There is no knowledge that is not power.

It is nice that we actually can talk about projects that are "on the ground", off and running. I do enjoy being a Told You So on this. I angered friends and business associates for years saying that I prayed for $100.00 oil. I knew it was the only thing that would allow us to turn the corner. Feels good! _________________ http://www.oilenergystockvideos.blogspot.com http://www.crudeoiltrader.blogspot.com

That is a good idea. No sense trying to reinvent the wheel. To that end, let me get the ball rolling with a few general progress reports:
This link covers recently completed and under development projects in the North Western US:
NW Renewable Energy Projects
40 GW of renewable energy capacity was added worldwide last year. That brings the total renewable capacity to over 1,000 GW(includes hydro). Renewable energy represents 20% of global power generation. Last year, worldwide renewable energy generated more power than nuclear did.

Wind Projects in the US:
Current installed US wind capacity: 19 GW
Wind capacity currently under construction: 9 GW
Wind capacity added in 2007: 5.2 GW
Wind capacity added first half of 2008: 2.7 GW
Projected new wind capacity for all of 2008: 7.5 GW

I know this is probably the wrong thread, but here goes.
We were scheduled to start building wind towers for G.E.
in January 2009. Today the entire plant has received 60 day notices of "Permanent Plant Closure" starting January 09.
G.E. pulled the plug on the entire contract.
So what Wind Project is getting terminated due to this?
Enquiring minds want to know! _________________
