Now, green electricity spurs clean development

If you were walking or driving along the coast of East China's provinces such as Jiangsu, Fujian and Guangdong, you'll likely notice rows of white turbines offshore.

These are wind farms, a scene straight out of Europe, the leader in offshore wind energy. Only, they bear testimony to the rapid technological development of offshore wind-based energy in China.

As waves lap at the seemingly floating towers, electricity is generated by harnessing powerful winds that rotate the giant blades of these fans installed on sea.
