| Just came back to Shanghai from three weeks away to India, Australia, and USA. First off, India makes China look clean but the at least the air is better there (Mumbai). The last two weeks in Sydney and Florida with colbalt blue skies everyday were amazing, but a sad reminder of how bad Shanghai and Beijing really are now. Perhaps if the Chinese travel more they will see how amazing this planet is and what blue skies and clear lakes are supposed to look like. Also, if they learn that it does not have to cost much more to be clean. As they open a new coal-fired power plant every week or two without scrubbers, how much would it cost to install scrubbers on them all (before they get built)? Not much if they had standards and enforced them across the board. |
