Wind of change is blowing through energy sector

Coal mining has become a way of life for Inner Mongolia but a new wave of green energy is about to change that.

Bu Xiaolin, chairman of North China's Inner Mongolia autonomous region, talked with pride about the new wind farms that are dotted around the region as he outlined a vision of a sustainable future.

"The region is speeding up the development and construction of new energy industries," he said last month. "This will boost the area's power structure, and increase economic and social development."
