As America fiddles, China continues to move into a more sustainable future, this time with a solar-powered train station in Nanjing that will allow for clean and efficient rail travel. (Thanks Reddit.) An excerpt from a post by Tracy McGill on the Metaefficient blog:

“Efficiency abounds in China as the world’s largest building integrated photovoltaic project prepares to power the railway station where some of the world’s fastest high speed trains pass through. China Sunergy, a solar cell and module manufacturer based in Nanjing, China, has recently signed a deal with CEEG (Nanjing) Solar Energy Research Institute to supply the 7MW solar modules for the Nanjing South Railway Station. When it’s finished, the Nanjing South Railway Station will be one of the most energy efficient public buildings in China.”
