The green brothers visit a wind farm outside Beijing and discover how renewable energy can transform China's environment.
风能不是童话，是现实，一切现实都是有问题的，比如南加州的一个每次路过都工作着的巨大风站还因为发电量不够或其它问题只能勉强维持。
智慧和愿望是重要的，但背后的技术支持也必须过硬。
Wind energy is not a fairytale; it is real. And everything real has problems. For example, the huge wind station in Southern California that is always working every time I go by it. Due to the fact it isn't producing enough electricity or some other problem, it can barely keep going. Knowledge and desire are important, but the technology and skill backing them must also be mastered.
