People are eager to bring industries to US to be less dependent on China but they don’t really think about the pollution they’re asking for.

Over here in Japan we regularly have to deal with China’s pollution blowing over here. It’s quite annoying and there’s nothing we can do about it.

Yall asking for it.

Kuznets Curve

Pretty graphic doesn’t change air quality.

Middle income, and wealthier Americans wouldn't want to live in pollution, so they would

1. Make Laws to stop pollution.

2. Move

3. Support Companies that created less pollution.

America has strict pollution laws as is especially in a state like California where presumably a fair portion of jobs might go to due to its coastal access.

That being said we also have many technologies that can capture, and clean pollution.

It will resolve itself one way, or another.

Oh yeah we all know how much say Americans have in laws and how much Trump loves the environment 🤣

Maybe the strong EPA standards under the EPA loving president will do the job 💪 😂 🤡

While, I agree that generally most government agencies are incompetent, including some departments of The EPA, I think some aspects of The EPA are competent enough.

Pollution as a global trend has been going down, even in China.

Like I said, I don’t live in charts. I see what I’m exposed to daily.

I’m all for industry going to US, less crap flying over here. Please take it and please “clean it”

Well the facts are there, maybe you live in a district where it's more prevalent.

Maybe you should reach out to your precincts administrator to address a domestic solution there.

In any case, I imagine if manufacturing does come to The United States that a significant portion of it will be less pollution intense, as our processes are more advanced, and effective.

The Natural Order always organizes itself.

Looking forward to it!

"America has strict pollution laws"

Per capita emissions of 285% above average you would qualify as okish? Or was your whole note rather sarcastic?

Carbon dioxide isn't pollution. It's a necessity, assuming you like being alive.

The US has stronger environmental regulations, unlike China. The USA also has cleaner energy sources while China heavily relied on coal.

US will be fine and we will donate much better job than China.

🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲

As usual, zionists only know how to project.

Doesn't USA already have worse environmental regulations?

Air pollution may not be as bad in USA(because all the big factories are isolated prison camps away from large cities) but the soil and water pollution is already worse from what I understand

Question.

Why are you assuming that we don't think about the pollution that will result from bringing industries back to the US?

Decades of having to outsource the bulk of it.

It's only a missing understanding for our Pacific and Atlantic Coast populations.

It's still in living memory for much of the great lakes and Gulf states.

Yes.

It’s not just a health negative. It’s freaking blue skies that are rare in some parts of China (and many other places).

That said, IMO the US has taken advantage for so long and now they have no choice. They can’t not exploit resources. I think we’ll see “rare earth discoveries” etc. once we permit more pollution.

No choice but innovation….

Yeah the externalized pollution production privilege shows in conversations. The arrogance. But it’s good news for this part of the world. The less China produces the less I have to deal with it. I’d much rather the US deal with it through its political system than China. Plus, the wind doesn’t blow across the Pacific in our direction 🤣 😜

We’re working on the wind thing haha

🤔

I was around Beijing in 2007 summer before Olympics. They were testing their smog restrictions apparently. Word is they just tell 6 day-per-week factories they get 3 days. Some M-W-F etc. The skies were bluer immediately.

Can you phone them up and ask to reinstate the 3 day schedule? Kkthnx

You can do it cleaner
