                                                                      wind farm in China 

Values and virtues can reach into the highest levels of real modern societies. Here is an example of an effective international project which is doing practical things to reduce green house gas emissions. Wisdom, in the form of engineering know-how, and love, in the form of good will, have combined to create an inspiring string of wind power plants all over the world. Wisdom and love in balance have led to the creation, manufacture, and distribution of a technology that has gone from improbable pipe dream to thriving reality. The parent company is a Chinese company called "Goldwind", and it makes wind turbines which use a technology called "permanent magnetic direct drive" (PMDD). (There's a link to the website below.) 

I am no engineer, but I am deeply impressed with the simplicity and elegance of this company's innovative wind turbine design. Even I get it. A brilliant breakthrough in design and an inspiring example of international cooperation in production and marketing. 

This could be a game changer in the sense that it may cause electric power generated from wind to become our main cure for fossil fuel addiction. But even more importantly, the cooperation of Chinese, developing world, and Western companies on the production and marketing of these dynamos may serve as a model for all kinds of future projects. 

The creative and cooperative forces that make, sell, and install Goldwind turbines give me reason to hope that, as big as our environmental problems may be, we also have some big resources locked up in the human community with which to fight them. 

We're not whipped yet.
