Per unit of GDP, China uses four times more energy than the United States. Addressing issues like this will be much easier than reducing overall emissions.

From this point of view, idea of environmentalism will be aroused easily, anything which is not benefit to the environment, should be eliminated from our society. In fact, there is better word to interpret pollution: “Pollution – it’s just to locate the right things at wrong place”, fully utilize pollutants, change it to become resources, would be the best way to control pollution. - Aturen Thu, 15 Mar 2007 09:39:37 +0000 http://www.chinadialogue.net/article/summary/843#comment-2600 http://www.chinadialogue.net/article/summary/843#comment-2600 Wonderful, insightful article!!

On the other hand, the image came into my mind of the sellers of coal bricks peddling through the old hutong of Beijing, selling their coal in winter. One excuse of the government's in destroying those streets, and that way of life, is that the old houses burn coal, but the new high-rises in the suburbs where people are moved will have cleaner energy. Should these people and their ways of life be targeted like this?
