As the increasing of energy consumption from industrial activities, extreme weather as the result comes to our daily life. Human needs the fruit from economic growth, but at the same time worries about the health of mother earth. We have a duty to fill energy demand gap with a sustainable solution. And we also must act to preserve resources with our best effort.
