Every day we read about the global dominance that China is achievingin cleantech, and wish the US could get on the stick as well. Here’s awonderful presentation by HSBC that explicates China’s commitment to green technologies nicely.

China’s 12th Five Year Plan includes seven Strategic EmergingIndustries (SEI), six of which are related to clean energy andsustainability.  While we in the US are arguing about trivia andeviscerating our environmental regulations, the Chinese will beinvesting as much as $1.5 trillion between now and 2020 in:

1) Energy saving and environmental protection

2) New energy, e.g., renewables, nuclear, and carbon capture

3) New materials (LED lighting, building materials)

4) High-end equipment manufacturing, e.g., high-speed railway

5) New-energy vehicles (EV, PHEV, energy-efficient vehicles, batteries)

6) Next generation IT, e.g., smart grid
