Fuxin, Liaoning: Coal to wind

Pan Liguo, mayor of Fuxin in Liaoning province, has an ambitious plan to "turn a coal-dependent city into a city of wind farms".

Fuxin's once-rich coal reserves, the source of both power and huge environmental problems, are expected to last for only another 25 years. In the future, wind coming from neighboring Inner Mongolia autonomous region is expected to fuel the alternative strategy.
