The ratrace sometimes is good! Especially when the competition happens in a clean energy arena.
If India has its solar mission aiming at 20 GW of soalr power in a decade, China is not far behind. Even if it is up there among the top polluters, its efforts to redouble on renewable energy have been the envy of many western nations.
And now, China has started work on “The Biggest Solar Energy Production Base in the Whole World”. The ambitious plans for the park were launched by Himin Solar Energy, whose headquarters is located at the Sun-Moon Mansion, which is currently the largest solar powered office building in the world. The planned development outside of Dezhou, China is expected to cost $740 million.
Himin Solar Energy, started by Huang Ming, the ‘Sun King’ of China, is already the main tenant of Solar Valley and their large office building is completely powered by the sun. The clean energy epicenter will help propel China’s development of renewable energy technology and installation.

Dear Author,
Thank you for posting this article. However, when shall we Indians stop talking about climate change and renewable energy and actually put it into practice for combating the two. The GOI has taken an initiative by launching National Solar Mission, however, I have noticed that not many government depts are actually pushing it. Don't you think the time has come to really step on the gas in order to save the planet?
