China now the world leader in wind power production

According to statistics released by the Global Wind Energy Council, China installed 30,500 megawatts of new wind power last year, compared to the world total of 63,000 MW

China has become the world leader in wind power production after constructing nearly half of all the new turbines built around the globe in 2015.

According to statistics released by the Global Wind Energy Council (GWEC) on Wednesday, China installed 30,500 megawatts of new wind power last year, compared to the world total of 63,000 MW. China now has 145,100 MW of wind power, out of the global total of 432,400 MW.

Over all, there is now enough wind power installed around the world to generate electricity for about 100 million homes.

China is by far the largest producer of wind power, and now has more wind capacity installed than the European Union, the traditional leader in the sector.

China’s dramatic increase is partly due to its drive to cut smog and deal with climate change, the GWEC said.

McKinsey & Co. analyst Scott Nyquist said in a report last year that wind, in most markets, is now the cheapest renewable power supply, except for hydroelectric power. Since 2009, its cost has fallen 58 per cent because of less expensive materials and greater efficiency, he said. Because of that, wind is competitive with other forms of power production without the need for subsidies in a number of markets.

The GWEC figures show that Canada also added substantially to its capacity in 2015, and now has the seventh-largest wind power capacity of any country in the world, with 11,200 MW installed. About 1,500 MW was added to the Canadian grid in 2015. In the United States, there is now almost 75,000 MW of capacity, after an addition of almost 8,600 MW in 2015.

According to the Canadian Wind Energy Association, 36 wind projects were completed in Canada in 2015, in Alberta, Saskatchewan, Ontario, Quebec and Nova Scotia. Ontario has the most installed capacity, at about 4,360 MW. Quebec is in second place at 3,260 MW.

China is what a leader looks like!!! Loserterianism is killing this country and yet the idiots keep wanting it.

Nothing destroys the earth more than the reckless manufacture of Government Mandated, Dictated, products, financed by other peoples money.

Thank God our government supports Marxist China.

Maybe they should install a couple of thousand around Beijing, to blow away the coal smog?

No...I know his work.......he appears virulently opposed to Stupid.......is that what you object to?

In the interest of full disclosure, did you cast one or more votes for Obama's predecessor?

You're missing the point, Toddster.....the chinese are moving aggressively in this direction exactly because they are suffering the consequences of reliance on coal...

He appears virulently opposed to Stupid, as to fully embracing Stupid, as you have?

Do you have any idea who is behind the websites promoting Wind Power? Of course not! You most likely have never thought behind the terrific slogan, "green power".

Can't blame you...

I get it, you really love Matthew and came to his defense, that is a sweet. But a flame of me does not distract from the facts I posted.

A fact would be the number of votes you cast for Obama's predecessor.......your feelings about Matthew would fall under the definition of "opinion"....

Why not start a thread on that very subject? You seem obsessed with Obama, I bet if there is a thread on Obama I would find you have posted at least a 100 times in that thread. I bet you got used to coming to Matthew's rescue there. Anyhow seems odd you are very protective of matthew but not too good at adding content or addressing content in posts.

Yes, my feelings for matthew would fall under opinion. That is very good reasoning on your part.

Sure, I'm not sure what that has to do with the facts.

Do you have a problem with conservation?


The site is run by an Energy and Internet Company. On the one hand, if you think there is some agenda, you could refuse to accept the facts, but that would make you guilty of an Ad Hominem Tu Quoque. ON the other, I could just refuse to accept any counter argument you propose, and that would make me guilty of an Appeal to Authority.


Since this is their area of expertise, let's just dispense with any notion of special interest, shall we? There is absolutely nothing wrong with energy conservation, is there?

I am perfectly willing to review and accept countervailing facts if you can present them. I live in an area of wind farming, I can tell you, we did like the economic opportunity at first, now it's just pretty annoying.

Maybe, someday, if these things produced more energy it might be worth it. But as it stands, the only thing wind is good for is milling wheat into flour or drawing water.
