#1 A very misleading headline.

What they should have headlined is,

China leading Global Race to Supply Products to Generate Clean Energy.

China is making money, not energy.

#2 And they use very dirty and cheap energy to do it with.

Meanwhile, we pursue a policy of making electricity (and therefore aluminum and steel and glass) as expensive as possible, and oil (and therefore resin, nylon, carbon fiber, and kevlar) as expensive as possible, and blame the oil companies because we can't keep up in the Green Future.

#3 the article should have read,

"cheap electricity from dirty coal plants plus slave labor give China advantage making components for subsidized American windpower plants"

#6 I've though for some time that the chinese should build a bunch of pebble bed reactors (not that foolish dam) so they'd have power to spare. One of the few advantages of an authoritarian country is they can ram that sort of thing through without green protestors. Once they had power they would elimnate their long oil supply line problems.
