"The first of China's wind and solar energy projects being built in the desert
areas is now connected to the electricity grid and has begun generating power,
media outlet ChinaDaily reported last week. China has been building green
energy projects in the Gobi Desert and other arid regions in Central China at a
cost of 85 billion yuan (US$12.28 billion).

With the planet needing to reduce carbon emissions, countries are now
innovating in generating greener energy. Interesting Engineering reported
earlier this year how Switzerland installed 5,000 solar panels on the highest
dam in Europe. On its part, China is looking to convert the arid regions of its
geography into power generation zones."
