HAPPY NEW YEAR! WHERE ARE WE GOING?

HI, THE END OF 2007 TOOK UP MY TIME ON MY FIRST POWER SUPPLY EBOOK AND I WAS UNABLE TO GET ACROSS ON THIS PLATFORM. HOWEVER I HOPE TO MAKE UP FOR THE LOSS OF TIME THIS YEAR.
HOWEVER I WANT TO SHARE THIS CLIP FROM http://pepei.pennnet.com/, SO THAT WE CAN REFLECT ON WHERE WE ARE GOING WITH OUR POWER GENERATION.


China's Three Gorges project generates 61.6bn kWh of electricity in 2007

2 January 2008 - China's Three Gorges hydropower project generated 61.6bn kWh of electricity last year, about 25 per cent more power than in 2006, according to operator China Three Gorges Project Corporation.

To date, the hydropower station had transmitted 207bn kWh of electricity to 11 provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions since it started operation in July 2003.
Currently, 21 turbines were operational with a total installed capacity of 13.3 million kW. Five more turbines would be added by year-end. The $22.5bn project was launched in 1993 in the mid-section of the Yangtze, China's longest river. Originally, its plan called for the 26 turbo-generators to produce 84.7bn kWh of electricity annually upon its scheduled completion in 2008. It was now to be expanded further to include six more turbines by 2012.

Hmm China is talking about an installed capacity of 13.3 Million KW while we are struggling to attain 10,000 MW.
Where do we go from here?
