Make wind power pledges more than hot air

From excitement to a sort of disappointment, this all happened to me in a matter of just two weeks.

On March 16, the annual session of the country's top legislature concluded in Beijing, with the 13th Five-Year Plan (2016-20) being endorsed. A section of this ambitious plan focuses on energy upgrading, vowing to increase the share of renewable energy in total consumption, including wind power.

It seemed to me that with an expected reduction in coal use, which now stands at 64 percent of the total, we might see fewer smoggy days and the bright and clear days would soon be on the horizon.
