Solar will not be dominant until the last drop of oil is used.

What china DOES have is coal, and vast amounts. The easily recoverable coal is being mined, but the ” low-grade and deep coal ” is what is needed.
UCG ( underground coal gasification ) can retrieve it.
Cheap to set-up. Can be used for electricity generation, ultra clean diesil, and fertillisers.

At least four callers told police 52-year-old Catharine Pierce was in her yard topless Wednesday. State law prohibits exposed genitals, but Pierce was wearing a thong.

Anyone up for building more nuke planets needs to start digging a big hole in their own backyard where we can bury the waste.

There are better things emerging, and we will know they are ready to be implemented when big oil starts asking for bailouts.

Got some money? buy land convert your home to solar, wind, hydro, et al and sell your excess electricity to the government, while you can.

We should be building these types of energy-self-sufficient communities instead of bailing out Wall Street bankers.

Is there some kind of queen/king, lord/lady gene build into some people, like in the UK and Thailand?

China is not acting in a unilateral way outside the G20 monetary authority. Indeed, it is China which sought the further diversification of the sdr within the reserve system as a replacement for the dollar.

Stories about China fabricate agency where none exists.

“It’s not clear how the shortfall can be made up since nobody seems to know where the mining industry can look for more.
That means countries that rely on uranium imports such as Japan and many western countries will face uranium .shortages, possibly as soon as 2013. Far from being the secure source of energy that many governments are basing their future energy needs on, nuclear power looks decidedly rickety.”

“The first essential fact to be aware of is that most news stories about China’s greentech gains are about manufacturing. China is becoming the wind-turbine factory to the world for much the same reasons it has long been the TV and t-shirt factory to the world: lower wages, lower land prices, fewer regulatory and other requirements, etc. This isn’t particularly surprising, and it shouldn’t be seen as a reversal of the status quo. What’s changed most dramatically in the last five years has been growing global demand. With significant government investment, Chinese factories have planned for and stepped up production accordingly.”

China has a horrendous history of abuse of its people via pollution.

The global system is an international financial system. China’s green program is fueled by US consumer demand.

The problematic with defining a nation/state as a solitary entity within this system is that the system must be understood as whole entity: the success of China was compelled by the securitization vehicle within the US/UK.

The people of China are the ‘real value’ to the Chinese leadership: yet the equal rights abuses and the lack of social service for the people is comparable to the medieval state.

The tangibles are reliant on that paper money (dollar paper standard) you disparage: just try separating the two.
