China’s Electric Push

Every major Chinese car company seems to have one… Models of electric cars claiming to be greener, safer, better than the competition. Behind the race to build high quality petrol powered vehicles, Chinas manufactures are trying to get a head start on the future. In recent years Chinas technological progress in building cars has improved considerably, but the big question now is fuel efficiency and green technology. The government is very keen on pushing hybrid cars and electric cars out into the commercial market. Beijing is offering financial incentives to fuel the development, both, to manufactures and corporate or government buyers of eco-friendly cars. This kind of revolution certainly is coming from top down, not bottom up. That is, consumers are still only faintly aware of alternative engines, hybrids, electrics… China also hopes, the greener vehicles will ease its notorious problem with urban pollution by cutting down greenhouse gases. BWD, a company in Shenzhen, on the border with Hong Kong, is leading the charge. Harnessing its experience in building mobile phone batteries, the company will roll out Chinas first commercially viable full electric car later this year. Legendary investor Warren Buffet believes BWD is onto something and has put about 230 million Dollars in to buy a 10% stake. Because of the size of the Chinese auto market and the companies development of green energy technology, the CEO says, BWD can become the biggest car maker in the world

    @Thisawareness pollution per captia USA and other western nations pollutes many times more than Chinese. Also Chinese pollutes to feed its own families by generating energy from coal. Americans pollute because they love to drive SUVs and have two cars per family is normal. if u expect to find cheap and mostly good qualitied Chinese products in ur shops then dont complain. otherwise u can pollut urselves.

    @terroil You have discredited yourself repeatedly, and have exposed yourself as a tool and fool who makes an ass out of yourself the more you talk about issues that you do not have a clue on. Having a video about China, and not knowing even denying that they are the #1 polluter, you are below pathetic

    @terroil That’s big turnaround from “the US is the biggest polluter so far, that’s obviously irrelevant” You know Global warming is happening but do not know a well known fact that china is the top polluter thanks to your fraudulent hero Gore?
    That’s some mighty big steps to take youngster. I hope you don’t register to vote, ever, we don’t need more idiots pulling the levers in the booth…….

    Even if true, this still would mean Americans produce about 6-8 times more CO2 per capita. Simple math exposes a simple tool of ignorance…

    Dot Earth: China Pulls Ahead in the Great Carbon Race (June 14, 2008)
    World View With Libby Rosenthal
    The report, released Friday by the Netherlands Environmental Assessment Agency, found that in 2007 China’s emissions were 14 percent higher than those of the United States. In the previous year’s annual study, the researchers found for the first time that China had become the world’s leading emitter, with carbon emissions 7 percent higher by volume than the United States in 2006.

    @terroil You really have to get your facts in order padawan. China is the #1 polluter
    China Increases Lead as Biggest Carbon Dioxide Emitter
    China has clearly overtaken the United States as the world’s leading emitter of carbon dioxide, the main heat-trapping gas produced by human activity, a new study has found, its emissions increasing 8 percent in 2007. The Chinese increase accounted for two-thirds of the growth in the year’s global greenhouse gas emissions, the study found.

    @Thisawareness
    The US is the biggest polluter so far. Whether China is a “polluting youngster” thats obviously irrelevant. Just as “Cult leader Gore” is irrelevant too. You have no tools to beat the hard data…

    @terroil China is the #1 polluter youngster. And they know agw is a fraud and are not partaking in the carbon trading racket

    @terroil Lame reply young padawan. Do you live near the beach also like Gore who said the coasts were going to flood by rising sea levels? Looks like the Chief BS’er doesn’t practice what he preaches, but little robots like yourself lockstep to the beat of the Pied Piper Gore

    @terroil Young Padawan, Truth is hate to those who hate the truth

    Your fraudulent hero Gore lives his lifestyle like he knows Global Warming is the BS that it is
    I guess he’s not worried about the sea levels rising, he just bought another mansion that uses Energy like a Texas billionaire oilman’s mansion, along the California coast
    To destroy a Cult, you have to expose the Cult Leaders lifestyle which conflicts/contradicts his gospel

    Sure… There´s some rumor they are working on some super secret barium titanate capacitor energy storage systems/capacitors. If it works out for them, they will take over the world. Indeed, you would have to believe yet another conspiracy theory.

    Gores Dual Role: Advocate and Investor
    NY Times

    Silver Spring Networks,came to Gores firm, Kleiner Perkins looking for $75 million to expand its partnerships with utilities seeking to install millions of meters
    Gore decided to back the Co., in gratitude Silver Spring retained him as corporate adviser

    The Energy Department announced $3.4 billion in smart grid grants more than $560 million went to utilities with which Silver Spring has contracts Gore/Kleiner Perkins

    Indeed, conspiracy theories are fascinating, yet in the light of facts and sound reasoning, utterly useless. In the end, if you are not wiling to compete under the harsh conditions of capitalism, you will be the one labeled “Marxist”.

    Sorry Marxist Warm-mongers……..

    But….

    Go to INFORMATIONLIBERATION website for a great expose of Al Fraud & the Marxist warm-mongers

    How does relocating Industry from the West which has Environmental & Human Rights laws to countries that have little to no Environmental or even human rights laws help stop Global warming?

    Al Gore helped engineer the economic destruction via NAFTA/GATT & WTO & now our children are being poisoned by Chinese slave labor made junk
