Laying the Foundations for a Greener Energy Future

On a viewing platform high above the Yangjiang Nuclear Power Station, CLP Chairman Sir Michael Kadoorie looked out on a spectacular panoramic view of the gigantic complex sprawling below him. Armies of construction workers busily installed the last two generating units of the six-unit plant, which will throw out 6,516MW of power when the station goes into full operation next year, providing clean energy across Mainland China’s Guangdong province. The visit was Sir Michael’s first to Yangjiang after CLP completed its investment in the project last year – the company’s second foray into nuclear power after the Daya Bay Nuclear Power Station.

As a country, we’ve gotten so used to facing the alarming number of veterans who take their own lives that it often feels abstract at this point; nameless, faceless statistics. For those of us who personally know veterans who’ve taken their own lives, it doesn’t take a 22-a-day statistic to feel the hurt — even one veteran suicide is one too many!

The data revolution is helping us all make better decisions and farmers are no exception. In the same way that we trust fitness trackers to encourage us to exercise more, watch what we eat and get enough sleep, digital agriculture continues to take root and gain wider acceptance with farmers. In fact, digital apps on smartphones and tablets are helping farmers to collect, store and visualize critical field data so they can make the best decisions throughout the year.
