China and Americas Take on Climate Change

China and Americas Take on Climate Change

There is no debate in China about climate change. There is no need to debate the issue when the Chinese see, eat and breath it everyday. Here in the U.S. it’s a different matter. The words, “climate change” has become a four letter word which U.S. politicians won’t even say in public. The total disregard and discrediting of climate change in America is very serious. It has put America at a disadvantage by scuttling the Senate passage of the energy-climate bill needed to make clean technologies. While the Republicans were doing everything in their power to make climate change a non issue, China was gearing up to to turn it into a work issue.

China’s scientists and engineers aren’t wasting any time. They are pushing for clean technology. Pollution in China means wasted lives, air, water and money. Too bad, the Republicans fouled up the works when Americans were just waking up to the problem, but China’s limited ability means that it will have to reach out for partners. That will be a great opportunity for the U.S. if we nurture them. While the U.S. is known for radical technology, China is better known for tweaking. They are better at making a million items for a penny each but not good at complex operations or customer service. The U.S. has those capabilities.

We are not smart about providing our own citizens with jobs. Take the example of Mike Biddle who was provided seed money by the American tax payer to invent a process of separating plastic from piles of junked computers, appliances and cars. Today he has factories in Austria, China and Britain. Biddle says his dream is to have factories in America to repay for all those research grants, but Americans recycle only 25 percent of their junk plastic. The rest goes to China and landfills. Biddle said, “I am in EU and China because the plastic is there or being created there. I’m not in the U.S. because there isn’t sufficient quantities of plastic.” So wasn’t that smart? We paid for Biddle’s research and now China and Europe are reaping what we the taxpayer sowed. But on the bright side, at least someone is profiting.
