Xi Whiz and Obama on Climate Change

What does the deal mean more energy in the US?  The end of coal which is so dirty. Gas will be used more frequently.  Fracking will have to be used and regulated. And the US will build more nuclear power plants.  They are clean.

Between January and June 2014, China installed 3.3GW of solar capacity. It also provided $23.5 billion in financing for solar ventures in 2013, more than all of Europe put together. Beijing has declared the use of coal will be banned in the city by 2020. These are hardly the actions of a country that sees the use of clean energy as a low priority. Many observers even say that protests emanating from air, soil and water pollution are one of the most direct threats to the supremacy of the CPC. Therefore, turning to renewable energy and cutting emissions might be a good way for the junta to stay in power.

How seriously China takes its commitment to clean power remains to be seen.  Their first priority is growth.
