14A case study of a new industrial giant is China. This is for five reasons:
1) [blank_start]government legislation[blank_end] - special economic zones and open cities have encouraged foreign investment whilst the [blank_start]one child policy[blank_end] has increased the population's disposable income.
2) [blank_start]the home market[blank_end] - as the population in China becomes increasingly wealthy, there is a greater demand for good (per capita income in urban households has increased from [blank_start]£200 in 1993[blank_end] to [blank_start]£600 in 2003[blank_end])
3) [blank_start]the Olympics[blank_end]- in [blank_start]2008[blank_end] they were held in [blank_start]Beijing[blank_end] and the opening ceremony showed China to be friendly and open, thus attracting foreign investment.
4) [blank_start]Three Gorges Dam[blank_end] - it generates [blank_start]22,500mW[blank_end]W of electricity, making it the biggest dam in the world which has led to a lot of development

15A case study of one type of renewable energy is [blank_start]wind power, UK[blank_end]. In 2008, there were [blank_start]176[blank_end] operational wind farms and turbines, with most of them being located [blank_start]onshore[blank_end]. Offshore wind farms have become more important, though, with 8GW to be generated by the end of [blank_start]2016[blank_end]. When operating offshore, they are usually within [blank_start]4-6[blank_end]km of the coast. The [blank_start]Scroby Sands Wind Farm[blank_end] is located on the sandbank in the North Sea, 2.5km off the coast of Great Yarmouth in eastern England. Typically, modern wind turbines are [blank_start]100-120[blank_end]m tall. Wind farms must be in [blank_start]exposed[blank_end] locations, in [blank_start]shallow[blank_end] waters and in places that are very [blank_start]windy[blank_end].
Disadvantages:, noisy, house prices may [blank_start]initially reduce[blank_end], unreliable, [blank_start]spoil[blank_end] the view, produce [blank_start]less[blank_end] energy than other sources e.g. nuclear
Advantages: [blank_start]no[blank_end] air pollution, reduce use of [blank_start]fossil fuels[blank_end], strong wind in [blank_start]winter[blank_end] which is when there is peak demand, [blank_start]cheap[blank_end] after building costs, attract [blank_start]small industries[blank_end] to rural areas and create [blank_start]jobs[blank_end]- Awind power, UK
