China's Increasing Energy Use

In the midst of energy conservation and going green, China's energy intake has increased. The developing country has set high goals for going green, but the growing industry demands more coal and oil. However, the backward steps have not gone unnoticed. Officials are working to create new regulations that will fortify energy conservation. China is the largest emitter of greenhouse gasses and has been since 2006. The country claims that it will do everything in its power to reduce the consumption no matter how difficult it may be.
