China's Horse-Shaped Junma Solar Power Station in Kubuqi Desert to Generate 100 GW by 2030, Transformed by NASA Images
Jan 5, 2025, 01:04 AM
The Junma Solar Power Station, shaped like a horse and located in the Kubuqi Desert, is a key component of China's ambitious 'Solar Great Wall' initiative. This project aims to generate 100 gigawatts (GW) of solar power by 2030, showcasing China's technological capabilities and commitment to sustainable energy. Recent satellite images from NASA indicate that the Kubuqi Desert, previously characterized as a 'sea of death' due to its barren landscape, is being transformed into a hub of photovoltaic energy potential. This transformation is part of a broader strategy that includes afforestation efforts to combat desertification and enhance renewable energy production, setting a global benchmark for climate action.
