Around the same time that the United States was backing out of the Paris climate agreement, China was moving ahead with innovative plans for supplying renewable energy. A solar energy plant that floats on a man-made lake in China’s Anhui province has now gone online. The floating solar project, the largest in the world, is capable of producing 40 megawatts of power -- enough to power more than 15,000 homes. The project is helping to cement China's reputation as a leader in clean energy, having built up its wind, hydroelectric, and solar capabilities.

Yes, I have some reservations about putting a solar farm on a lake. Seems like there might be some unintended consequences in the future for the lake. |

Good grief. As dirty as China is - just look at the air quality in major cities - now China is a "leader in clean energy." Not even trying to hide the politics. |

So why dig a hole and let the solar farm float? Should the US dig holes under all of its land-based solar farms? |
