We sometimes complain that China is beating us and most of the time it is political rhetoric but it seems that the Country we always used as an excuse in why we aren’t doing anything about climate change is now beating us. China appears to be ready to announce a cap and trade program in 2017 whereas the US will keep beating around the issue. China is already prepared to provide the most cost effective solar modules to the globe (which we are making more expensive for no reason) and now will take further strides to improve their horrible air quality thanks to many years of overbuilding coal plants.
