Hey, Guys: Very serious blog going on here. Here is my 2 cents: look beyond (behind)the numbers. 6GW is the total cumulative installed capacity in China. It does not equate to China producing 6GW wind electricity.

1. According to the UK Wind Energy Association, a typical installed wind turbine produces an average not more than 30% rated capacity or design capacity. This 30% is called “load factor” or “capacity factor” in the US. I have not come across any research on China’s wind load factor. Some say it is below 20%.

2. Other factors that affect a wind energy output include: quality of the turbine like blades, gearbox, quality of the wind resource like wind speed variation, how high and how low, availability of grid connectivity, real experts that truly understand this green energy and the related technology. When it comes to new business development in China, you often see “blind leading the blind” situations.

3. If you are seriously thinking about investing in China’s renewable energy area, pay attention to the operators, participate in the conference calls and ask questions. If they are real experts in what they are doing, you will have a better chance of winning.

4. Good old American is still the best. Our B-schools started to make business ethics a required MBA course long before any other country, certainly decades before China. I am not sure if it is required in China. I am not saying one course will prevent Arthur Andersen type but it certainly builds an important awareness.

5. Between 2008 and 2020 or in 13 years, China will add additional new capacity of 100-6=94GW, that is over 7GW newly installed capacity each year for 13 years, 94GW requires roughly 10 million tons of forged components. This is a lot of forging capacity requirement.

6. As there are good players, there are bad ones. Paying attention will help you weed out the bad ones.

China runs full speed ahead into the 21st Century while the U.S. is mired in old money, older philosophy and old oil barons in congress! The torch of leadership in the world was passed on and China is taking the lead! If the U.S. had chosen to be a moral people, and leaving Iraqi oil alone, and following Al Gore, decided to develop the South Western deserts, with the technology of the times – solar/thermal-molten sodium – electricity installations, for the same amount of money as that war cost, ($650 Billion), today, we would be tapping into the largest, renewable, sustainable, energy source the world has ever known. It would have paid every energy bill in the U.S.A. for maintenance fees only – FOREVER! It would be equivalent to an oil field that can NEVER run dry! Low cost electric power, and storeable hydrogen gasoline replacement from the electricity, for all!
After the millions of murders, and $650 billions of dollars, borrowed from our children’s futures and pissed away, with thousands of our own and others maimed and disfigured for life, millions of families utterly destroyed, ours and theirs, we are no closer to Iraqi oil production than the Iraqis are!
The next time you hear a blithering idiot spoiled brat, drunken, drug addicted, sociopath, rich Arabic saber dancing daddie’s boy oilman, stand at a microphone and threaten YOUR safety with someone ELSE’S weapons, remember what you lost America, remember, and weep!

Hmmmm. There’s only one problem. SAND.

Desertification and all those sandstorms bodes extremely well for that 27% CAGR those wind ‘experts’ wet dreaming.
