China+and+Climate+Change

Here's a good read: []

Is this a sign that China's impact on climate change really is rising above the United States?

Even though the cost is higher in order to build the more efficient plants, it seems to be well worth it. If major countries are going to continue to rely on fossil fuels without developing newer power sources, then the proper steps should be taken to keep those older energy sources as clean as possible. Common sense might lead you to believe this, but cost is a bit more important...

"Cao Peixi, the president of the [|China Huaneng Group], the country’s biggest state-owned electric utility and the majority partner in the joint venture building the Tianjin plant, said his company was committed to the project even though it would cost more than conventional plants. “We shouldn’t look at this project from a purely financial perspective,” he said. “It represents the future.”"

China obviously sees what's up, even if some of the technology that they're currently using isn't up to par.
