But make no mistake: despite its less-than-constructive role in multilateral efforts, China is not just sitting still on energy and environmental issues. Within the next ten years, China will build 100,000 megawatts of wind-power generation plants (10 times the US amount), 50,000 MW of nuclear capacity, 10,000 MW of solar photovoltaic power, and 10,000 MW of solar thermal power.
不过毋庸置疑的是：尽管中国在多边努力上所起的作用缺乏建设性，但其在能源与环境问题上却并未坐视不动。在下一个十年内，中国将建造10万兆瓦的风力发电厂（是美国总量的十倍），5万兆瓦核电站，1万兆瓦太阳能光伏电站以及1万兆瓦太阳能热电站。
