Also at the forum, vice-minister for science and technology Cao Jianlin said the government will provide additional funding for research projects and offer preferential tax rates for those involved in the development and use of renewable energy, as part of its development plan for renewable energy launched in June. The plan aims to increase the proportion of renewable energy to 10 percent of total consumption by 2010, and to 16 percent by 2020, Cao said. It currently accounts for just 1 percent. (isnt it amazing what you can get done without a congress lol)
November 26, 200718 yr Do hybrids really help with emissions or is it just hype? Like ethanol is cleaner than gas, riiight. Burning hydrocarbons causes CO2 despite whatever the octane level is.

Just fyi the plant that makes the batteries for Toyota's Prius is one of the most poluting plants(where ever it is located), I imagine google would come up with more info.
