China’s booming solar industry

Got a glimpse of China's booming solar industry this morning at the Beijing Hope Solar Power Company outside the city. This private company makes photovoltaic panels and fun apps (solar backpack!).
It's the kind of company Gov. Kulongoaki most likely wants to lure to Oregon, to set up shop and employ Oregonians.
With a free afternoon before we fly to Chengdu in Sichuan Province tomorrow morning, a few of us went to Beijing's glorious Temple of Heaven.
Despite the modern Jumbotron that greets visitors, the temple offers green serenity in a city of bustle and noise. Birds joined in as opera singers performed for the crowd, and a light drizzle was cool and refreshing.
