Powering them with clean energy sources won’t be difficult given China’s plentiful renewable capacity, says Michael Davidson , an engineering-systems and global-policy expert at the University of California, San Diego. Plus, the CO 2 system produces higher-temperature waste heat, which can be used for space heating and hot water.
