China is leading in solar inventions.
China burnt more than 3 billion mt of coal in 2010
China is big on low-carbon energy technology
What is the name to China’s big energy
dam?
Brazil
In the Itaipu Dam, it avoids 67.5 million tons of carbon dioxide emissions.
Brazil has set a standard for using renewable energy
Brazil will triple their use of renewable resource energy from 2011 to 2020
2016 Rio de Janeiro Olympics “goes green”
Which dam avoids Carbon Dioxide emission?
