Qinghai Province, China Runs Entirely on Renewable Energy for 7 Days..!

Everyone else talks about GOING GREEN China simply does it instead of saying anything and that's the best way to do business everything time name known.

Qinghai Province ran solely on solar, wind, and hydropower for a full week. During the week the people of Qinghai consumed 1.1 billion kilowatt hours (kWh) of electricity.

The province, which is home to over 5 million people, generated the renewable energy equivalent of 535,000 tons of coal – without all the air-polluting carbon emissions.

Still, plans for more renewable sources are in the works – the province aims to boost wind and solar capacity to 35 million kW by 2020 and supply 110 billion kWh of clean power yearly to areas of eastern and central China.

The province is home to the Laxiwa hydropower station, which generates 10.2 billion kWh annually, and the Longyangxia Dam Solar Park, which as of February this year was the largest solar farm in the world

The province got its power from only clean energy: 72.3 % from hydropower and the rest from other sources like solar and wind.

They have proved that fossil fuels aren’t a necessary component of our energy future.

At times, we need something or someone to help silence the negative self-talk . Photo reference Three Gorges Dam in China.
