STORY: 16 MW offshore wind turbine begins operations off east China coast DATELINE: July 20, 2023 LENGTH: 00:00:35 LOCATION: FUZHOU, China CATEGORY: ENVIRONMENT SHOTLIST: 1. various of the wind turbine STORYLINE: The world's first 16-megawatt offshore wind turbine off the coast of east China's Fujian Province was successfully connected to the grid and began generating electricity on Wednesday. The wind turbine at the Fujian offshore wind farm, which is operated by the China Three Gorges Corporation, has the largest single-unit generating capacity of all turbines in operation worldwide, the company said. The turbine's blades are each 123 meters long and can sweep an area of approximately 50,000 square meters -- the size of seven standard soccer fields. It is estimated that the wind turbine will be able to generate more than 66 million kilowatt-hours of clean electricity annually, meeting the annual electricity consumption needs of 36,000 three-member households. That is equivalent to saving about 22,000

STORY: Identifiable hadrosaur embryo fossils discovered in China DATELINE: May 12, 2022 LENGTH: 00:00:47 LOCATION: FUZHOU, China CATEGORY: SCIENCE SHOTLIST: 1. various of the fossils STORYLINE: Two egg fossils containing identifiable hadrosaur embryos have been discovered in the city of Ganzhou, east China's Jiangxi Province, scientists said. The fossils, which date back to 66 to 72 million years ago, are now preserved at the Yingliang Stone Natural History Museum in Fujian Province. The better-preserved egg has the shape of a prolate spheroid, with a total volume of approximately 660 ml. The embryo fills about 40 percent of the egg's area. A paper on the finding, co-authored by researchers in China and Canada, has been published in the journal BMC Ecology and Evolution. While hadrosaur embryo fossils have been discovered before, the two found in Ganzhou are so far the best-preserved of their kind, according to the research team.
