When what should be solid science is levered, politicized, propagandized, traumatized and bullshitized, then the basic premise comes into question.
I absolutely know that once outside the US and Western Europe, especially in current or recent Communist countries there is no such thing as air quality standards, emission controls, stack gas scrubbers, stack gas atomizers, etc., nada.
I?m used to stack gas but last trip through Bejing made my eyes water and get irritated, nose run, got a rasping caugh; gone native so to speak, talk about the most polluted air in the world, that be it.

Russia and the former East block countries are nothing short of a massive environmental pigpen, and probably non-cleanable for generations to come. Speaking of China, when are the Seattle luminaries going to demand that China cease and desists on the construction of the Three Gorges hydroelectric project, only the biggest one ever attempted. But I suppose they are focused on closing down the Grand Coolie, John Day, Chief Joseph, etc., Columbia River hydroelectric plants right now, so are a bit busy and preoccupied.

There are few alternatives to fossil fuel power plants and when I see luminaries like Sen. Harry Reid drop his stead fast opposition to any new nuke plants, or Kennedy n? Son drop their opposition to wind turbines off Massachusetts, I?ll reckon there maybe something to their collective caterwallering.

Till then, I?ll just have to be content to observe the Nth degree of hypocrisy; do as I say, not as I do, methodology and listen to the scary campfire stories emanating from the ?soggy one? from Tennessee.
