...por ahora no es posible decir que el precio del petróleo de Arabia puede ser comparado con el del esquisto. Pero, no se puede excluir que el mercado energético mundial se transforme. La creciente China desplaza poco a poco a EEUU del primer lugar en el rating de los mayores consumidores e importadores del petróleo. Existe la opinión de que China le quitará el Medio Oriente a EEUU. Todos esos razonamientos se basan en la premisa de que la revolución del esquisto no resulte un punto muerto en el progreso tecnocientífico. Sin embargo, los escépticos exponen una serie de argumentos justamente a favor de esa situación. Los pronósticos son dobles.

Destinos: Western China, Tengchong, a subtropical area in western Yunnan known for its hot springs; Dali, 123 kilometers (76 miles) south of Lijiang, famed for its lake; and a former tea-trading town on the Tibetan plateau, rechristened Shangri-La by tourism officials. Also popular: Lugu Lake, with its original inhabitants, the Mosuo minority, whose inheritance passes through the female head of the household. To capitalize on the trend, his company, Lijiang Derun Real Estate Development, is investing $161 million to build 400 high-end villas and a five-star hotel in Lijiang.

"El estándar de los edificios ecológicos, que se caracterizan por el ahorro de energía y recursos y el respeto al medio ambiente, será adoptado en todos los edificios de inversión gubernamental a partir de 2014, informaron fuentes de la CNDR."

Their sudden popularity has confounded planners who thought China was set to become the next automobile powerhouse. In Europe, too, e-bike sales are escalating. Sales have been growing by 50% a year since 2008 with forecasts of at least three million sales in 2015. I have the strong impression that a cloud of discrete but related developments is converging. In the background, a combination of energy costs and economic insecurity adds urgency to the need for change. At street level, myriad innovations in hardware, systems, and business models are giving us the component parts of the ecosystem we yearned for in Delhi. A profound transformation to the mobility profile of modern cities no longer feels like a dream.

During the one month campaign, 18,000 people got involved on Weibo and more than 1,000 passengers were matched with approximately 500 drivers. The following year, the service moved beyond Weibo to the Shunfengche campaign website, as well as to smartphone apps and SMS messaging systems. During the 2013 New Year holiday, 402,429 people got involved through the four platforms and as many as 9,678 people eventually participated in carpooling. To get the campaign up and running sooner, Wang and his team decided to employ the funds from the Shunfengche Public Benefit Foundation to cover the express toll payment for carpoolers.

renewable power equipment is an example of a piece of capital that offers global externality benefits as its adoption reduces global GHG emissions. This means that importing nations and the rest of the world gain if exporting nations such as China choose to strategically subsidize green industries such as solar panel makers and wind turbine makers. Note that these products are different than toys or cars that the mass production of these goods lowers the price of adopting green technology by mainstream U.S firms such as Walmart. The U.S in its pursuit of protecting "U.S jobs" is sacrificing environmental progress. Will mainstream environmentalists acknowledge this point?
