Wind Farm in Yunnan Province

Greenpeace China investigates wind power bases all over the country, including Dali Zhemoshan Wind Farm in Yunnan. The investigation reveals the robust development of China's wind power and its harmonious co-existence with the local environment. Greenpeace calls for the national government to implement a clear and definitive long-term plan for wind power, including an ambitious development target. China is at a crossroads. It can choose between the dirty, dangerous world of coal and fossil fuels, or the new, clean future promised by wind.
