Let's get the balance right, says Locke

Locke emphasized the importance of cooperation between the US and China on environmental issues, citing the case of a green power plant he visited Wednesday.

The power plant, in the Beijing Economic-Technological Development Area, is one of a few key power generation stations in the Beijing area that provided reliable power for the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games.

The power plant is now using two gas turbines developed and manufactured by Pratt & Whitney Power Systems, a subsidiary of United Technologies Corp.

It is capable of producing more than 1 billion KWh of electrical power and more than 500,000 tons of steam, and at the same time, reducing the emission of 3,700 tons of smoke dust, 830 tons of sulfur dioxide and 1,500 tons of nitrogen oxide annually.

Locke also shared a few personal details Wednesday. His childhood dream was to be a forest ranger or a teacher and he is thankful to a Boy Scout leader who took him under his wing.

"He was my mentor and we have remained friends for more than 40 years," Locke said, adding that young people need mentors to help them mature and succeed. And he enjoys golf - and building and fixing things at home, from electricity to plumbing.

"I like to repair things, and I like to do things with my hands," he said. "I'm very good at plumbing. I'm very good at electrical systems. I'm very good at construction, and I enjoy that." Except these days, he has little spare time to do it, as secretary of Commerce, he said.
