China: Climate change hero or villain?
Sigma Xi works with PRI’s The World to produce a weekly science podcast and associated online discussion forum. This week there’s all kinds of good energy stuff on the podcast and in the forum.
On the podcast, there’s an interview with policy analyst Julian L. Wong, an expert on China’s transition to cleaner fuels. China burns more coal than any other country, but it also leads the world in solar energy construction; Wong says China has progressed more than the U.S. and is doing more right than wrong to address climate change.
Agree? Disagree? Have questions? Talk with Julian online in The World Science Forum through July 24.
Also on the podcast– Steven Chu’s visit to China, and Europe’s biofuels debate.
