This has led to an increasing demand for energy, spurring China to add an average of 53 gw of electric capacity each year over the last 10 years. China¿s government owns or controls many of the country¿s industries and enterprises, and sets goals for economic development in the periodic Five Year Plans. In contrast, the U.S. has largely a market-driven economy. The reasons for increasing the use of renewable energy include energy security, energy independence, cleaner air, anthropogenic climate change, sustainability concepts, and econ. develop.
