So China needs fuel and energy in gigantic quantities to keep growing. Not a big suprise when they have 2 billion people and have little if any natural resources that still remain. They are in the exact situation that we are in and where in 30 years ago. Not enough money for resources and too much population for steady energy consumption. I just hope they have enough money to fork over for solar power, windmills, and other pricy fuel generators. They are destroying their country's landscape at an amazing pace, depleting fisheries, covering the cities and towns with heavy air pollution, polution of rivers and streams, and wasting the soil on bumper crops of rice. This optimism will not last long, China will see this as a very bad move and have to spend years fixing the problems caused by the search for energy for the masses. | So China needs fuel and energy in gigantic quantities to keep growing.
