Xinhua Beijing, July 10, according to the Hong Kong "da Pao" report, the CLP's consultation on the construction of a wind farm in the outlying islands of Hong Kong was completed as scheduled in Thursday, and the chief executive of the Chinese power operation, Lan Lingzhi, said at a luncheon on 9th that 67% people supported the construction of a wind farm and　　The Secretary for the Environment, Yau, said in the Legislative Council meeting that the HKSAR Government had set targets to address climate change, including legislation to enforce compliance with energy efficiency codes and to expand the list of environmental procurement.　　The CLP is planning to spend 7 billion on the construction of a wind farm on the east coast of the clear water clear Water Bay Peninsula for a 30-day consultation period from June 2 to Thursday. On 9th, the blue Lexus said that of the 98 people who had completed their personal views through the website, 67% had expressed support for the project, saying that the construction of a wind farm would reduce the reliance on fossil fuels and reduce carbon dioxide emissions; however, another 27% people questioned the effectiveness of the emission reduction of wind farms,　　It is also feared that the project will affect the natural landscape of Hong Kong and destroy the marine ecological balance.　　According to the blue Lexus, the Marine wind farm is expected to be completed in 2014, with an estimated capacity of 200 MW per annum, which is believed to provide clean energy for 80,000 households and to offset 300,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions, in line with the SAR government's target of using renewable energy to produce 1% to 2% in 2012. In addition, Yau said that the SAR government had set targets to deal with climate change, including legislation to enforce the code on energy efficiency in buildings, and the relevant units planned to introduce the bill to the Legislative Council after the summer holidays and to expand the list of environmental procurement. He added that Hong Kong's carbon footprint per capita was 6 tonnes per annum, which was lower than in Singapore, Japan and the United States, but he stressed that he would not be complacent and would continue to work to further reduce carbon emissions and welcomed the public's views on climate change.
