Abstract :
With the concern of possible climate change caused by greenhouse gas emissions from fossil fuel, the world as a community has taken several monumental steps to encourage the development and implementation of renewable technologies and products, mainly wind power, in order to reduce the emission of greenhouse gas. Among countries, the US and China, both with significant wind power capacity, have adopted several policies as incentives to promote renewable energy developments and applications. However, the contents and their outcomes of these policies are different. The analysis and comparison of these policies are made in the paper, and some policy suggestions are recommended.
