Energizing efficiency in the U.S.-China relationship | Barbara Finamore's Blog | Switchboard, from NRDC: "Yesterday, before Chinese President Hu Jintao’s plane even hit the tarmac, senior energy experts from both countries gathered to inaugurate the U.S.-China Clean Energy Research Center (CERC), the latest in a series of initiatives building on the historic November 2009 summit between Presidents Hu and Obama. NRDC is a proud member of the building energy efficiency consortium. Together with the national demand-side management (DSM) regulations that came into effect on January 1st, these programs in energy efficiency hold some of the greatest promise for reducing the burden on China’s growing energy demand while promoting goodwill and broad cooperation in the bilateral relationship."
