The Best Paragraph I've Read:

"The power line starts in a remote desert in northwestChina, where vast arrays of solar panels and wind turbines generate electricity on a monumental scale. It snakes southeast, following an ancient river betweenmountain ranges before reaching Anhui Province near Shanghai, home to 61 million people and some of China’s most successful electric car and robot manufacturers.

That’s a single power line. China has 41 others. Each iscapable of carrying more electricity than any utility transmission line in the United States. That’s partly because China is using technology that makes its lines far more efficient than almost anywhere else in the world. The feat isowed to China’s ambitious national energy policies and the fact that few residents along the path of these lines dare object — even though the lines cause small electric shocks that local people said they could feel when holding a metal fishing pole."

This paragraph comes from the New York Times. The article is titled "How China Powers Its Electric Cars and High-Speed Trains." The author is Keith Bradsher. You can read the full article here:

Zac & Don discuss China and some of its latest engineering achievements. At the same time they discuss some of its potential problems such as 200 million gig workers. They then make connections to the Abundance movement in America and wonder what the future holds for both nations.

Zac & Don also reference the following articles:

China has a surplus of electric cars and is cutting prices.

China has 200 million gig workers.

China is the nation of engineers while America is a nation of lawyers.

China's Large Power Line Projects, Growing Renewable Energy Projects, Intense Domestic Electric Car Industry, & 200 Million Gig Workers! How Does It Compare to America's Abundance Movement?
