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 🤣 😜
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
