Yes, China still uses a lot more coal than we do, and it has a lot of highly inefficient power plants that aren’t that old. But, when newly-built, or being-built, electric power plants are compared head to head, it looks like America needs to practice what it preaches on air pollution.
Hell, next the Chinese will be beating us on conservation.
A skeptical leftist's, or post-capitalist's, or eco-socialist's blog, including skepticism about leftism (and related things under other labels), but even more about other issues of politics. Free of duopoly and minor party ties. Also, a skeptical look at Gnu Atheism, religion, social sciences, more.
Note: Labels can help describe people but should never be used to pin them to an anthill.
