Climate Change: China Innovating in the Clean Coal Technology Market
Climate Change: China Innovating in the Clean Coal Technology Market

Up to 1 million deaths a year in China due to respiratory disease thanks to their dependence on fossil fuel is changing China's reliance on fossil fuels.

I wonder when Amerfica will finally get a clue?

china can do what it wants, say what it wants and never has to prove what they say is true.

plus, the chinese are little more than slaves. You want forced labor here?

Seems there are many Republicans who feel we should be more like China. So apparently, some here do like "forced" labor.

Any proof? Other than assumption.

how much does jet/airplane fuel normally cost per gallon?

Oil companies increase jet fuel price by Rs 622 per kl

Good luck figuring that out.

but I don't think there's an ethonal that can go into a jet.

fuel isn't fuel.

This would be like comparing the best apple from the best tree at the end of the best season for apples and comparing it to a half rotted orange.

This looks like another case where government wastes taxpayer dollars paying way over inflated prices. Stuff like this has happened for decades, primarily by the Pentagon.
Our government spending seriously needs microscopic auditing.

Regarding "There is NO North American fossil fuel shortage except the one we impose on ourselves". Fossil fuel pollution is a major reason why respiratory deaths are climbing even in the face of few and fewer people smoking in the US. There a hundreds of studies that confirm that. China is leaps and bounds years ahead of the US in regards increasing usage of green energy as is most of the rest of the world.

Yeah, then why is China lighting up a new coal fired power plant at the rate of one per week?

When you can pull your head out of your arse and realize all you need to be fired and hire with term limits.

Which Republican Presidential Candidate said:

“The ‘Great Society’ has not worked and it’s put us into the modern welfare state,” she said. “If you look at China, they don’t have food stamps. If you look at China, they’re in a very different situation. They save for their own retirement security…They don’t have the modern welfare state and China’s growing. And so what I would do is look at the programs that LBJ gave us with the Great Society and they’d be gone.”

About a year ago, a right winger from this board wrote and told me that China is not really "communist" anymore. That their leader is more like a "CEO".
