A Chinese neighborhood of 30,000 off the grid!

China is currently engaged in the greatest construction binge in world history.  The Chinese are adding one new coal-fired power station per week, 44 million high rise apartment units per year, and are adding 4-5 million new cars to the road every year with endless super-highways to match.  If present trends continue, China will have twice as many cars by 2030 as there are in the whole world today!  The result is that China is slated to overtake the U.S. as the leading emitter of carbon dioxide in the next couple of years and is experiencing a catastrophic increase in pollution in its cities, with a resultant 600,000 excess deaths from asthma, lung cancer, etc.
