China is not the USA they pollute on a scale unseen anywhere else in the planet. Just because they do doesn’t justify the USA doing the same we have the EPA and our clean Air laws for a reason. Those laws are popular with 70+% of Americans supporting the clean Air and water acts no way either gets repealed. The facts are want to burn coal in the USA meet or exceed the limits set by our representative government and vast majority of the citizens who vote. Coal can meet most of the current regs it just takes triple layers of scrubbers that cost a lot more than just switching to natural gas which doesn’t have the toxins in the fuel in the first place. Atmospheric pressure combustion of coal without triple scrubbers is dead in the USA. Welcome to the twenty first century our lungs, lakes and kidneys thank us. China can have an environment nightmare on their backyard the USA has said no to that.
