I am in a web-based seminar right now on Canadian greenhouse gas mitigation. Apparently all of Canada's energy needs can be met by offshore wind from Atlantic Canada alone, plus existing hydroelectric power. The wind speed maps they're showing make it clear how much of an advantage you get with offshore wind.

I really want to know what the Chinese side is on the Genghis Khan thing--on the face of it it's both nasty, stupid and transparently pointless.

But if they're actually wanting more accurate terminology, like calling him Timujin given neither Genghis nor Khan were actually his names would make more sense. I suspect the publicised reason is the reality, but it's just too easily/obviously "China=Bad" without any real counterpoint
