China Vows to Tackle Air Pollution

"China has revealed sweeping measures to tackle air pollution, with plans to close old polluting steel mills, cement factories and aluminium smelters, and slash coal consumption and boost the use of nuclear power and natural gas ... China said its new plan would aim to cut total coal consumption to below 65% of total primary energy use by 2017, down from 66.8% last year. It would also aim to raise the share of non-fossil fuel energy to 13% by 2017, up from 11.4% in 2012. Its previous target stood at 15% by 2020. To help meet the target, it would also raise installed nuclear capacity to 50GW by 2017." (Quoted from article)
