China Is Pulling Ahead on the Environment

Thanks for a good article, Shaun.
Road runner, you have made good points. Chinese people work hard and save money. The irony is that there is a better climate for the small business in China than here. That alone is a condemnation of what is going on here in the USA.
The labels people use blind them to reality. Our government is also a seat of corruption. Our ancestors risked a great deal to come here and fought for the right to criticize and change governments.
The Chinese government has many challenges ahead of it. Local corruption is one of the worst. As people there gain access to the internet and information, there will be increased pressure to counteract this problem, among others.
I find it disheartening that we are dragging our feet on moving to alternate energies, making ourselves energy independent, and ending our support of people in the middle east who hate us.
