Something I want to ask about the 'watergy' solution is that if China is to significantly increase, say, wind power generation, then hydropower production in supply-rich regions would be crucial to balance out the instability of wind power connected to the grid; and with all the hazardous material in China's solar PV panels and their lifespan, it's unlikely to be a viable solution to adopt the German model in solar energy either, so how do you envision an ideal renewable energy supply for major water-deficient cities like Beijing?
