China takes the lead in clean energy


China overtook the US during 2009 to become the leading investor in renewable energy technologies, according to a new analysis.


Researchers with the Pew Charitable Trusts calculate that China invested $34.6bn (£23.2bn) in clean energy over the year, almost double the US figure.


China's target of having 30GW of installed renewable capacity in place by 2020 will soon be exceeded through wind alone, and new targets are in the process of being set.
