DESCRIPTION:Jim Platts will introduce his recent practical experiences in 
 wind farm energy development in China:\n\n"It's hard starting a company in
  the UK.  All those meetings with hard nosed venture capitalists talking t
 hrough the business plan. It's not like that in China. Nothing of what we 
 are doing in China\, in our work developing the wind energy industry\, fit
 s the models we teach here. But it fits very well with what would have bee
 n familiar to many in Victorian England\, of people being very far sighted
 \, courageous and trusting and willing to make big commitments. We do happ
 en to be developing the best wind energy technology in the world\, so I wi
 ll briefly tell the technical story of what we are doing. But mostly I wil
 l tell the human story of how it is happening."
