LARGE-SCALE SOLAR POWER PLANT
By Anton Antonio
September 19, 2015
Let us give credit where credit is due. Although China, like the United States, is
being blamed for being the primary contributor to global warming for its
massive use of fossil fuel as its source of energy. Realizing the environmental impact of
coal-powered energy, China has shifted direction towards other sustainable
energy sources such as solar power.
“Worried that the impacts of climate change will be felt
primarily by China, their energy and climate experts and planners have decided
to adopt a 2-point strategy --- First, they are working to aggressively take
market share from coal and accelerate the transition to low-carbon and
zero-carbon sources such as natural gas, nuclear, wind power, solar power, and
hydropower. Second, on the industrial
side, they are transitioning away from coal-intensive and energy-intensive
industries that have been driving growth and speeding up the transition to a more
balanced economy, with much more service sector growth.” (Antonio, 2015, “The
Dirtiest Airspace in the World”, http://antonantonio.blogspot.com/)
China is presently building its first large-scale solar
power plant in the Gobi Desert. This project
is projected to generate electricity to supply 1 million household. This is by far the most ambitious solar plant
project in the world. Called “Delingha”,
the colossal facility will spread across a 25 square kilometer area in Qinghai
province and have a capacity of 200 megawatts.
Rather than build military installations from land
reclamation projects in the West Philippine Sea which only resulted to
undermining marine biodiversity, China will be better off spending on other
pro-environment initiatives such as the biggest large-scale solar power plant.
