China Wins the Wind Energy Race

The Wall Street Journal reported in January 2011, that China had increased their capacity for wind energy, beating the United States and the rest of the world in the process. As countries compete to create a green future, China became victorious in the wind energy round because of their dedication to doing so. Experts claim that a major reason behind China's success is the consistent policy support efforts to create alternative energy receives. Conversely, the United States is said to have fallen behind in renewable energy progress because of the lack of congressional support the cause garners.

This article highlights the universality of the energy industry. All parts of the world are being affected by our lack of renewable and alternative energy resources. As such, many are searching for new ways to create and sustain power. The article also highlights how the energy industry relates to all sectors of the country's infrastructure. In this example, the importance of politics on the industry is demonstrated. Without the support of world leaders, environmental awareness cannot be engrained into our global culture. In my opinion, more emphasis should be placed on supporting a sustainable and safe industry because it will affect the world as a whole.
