one plus, though, is that the "pollution" is localised at the
conversion facility, allowing better prospects for a cleaning process.
The same applies to the coal_plan_electric_car scenario for carbon
capture.


What makes you think CHINA is going to clean up their emissions?

I never suggested they would. Having been there and seen first-hand the way
they give top priority to "development" over everything else - especially
environment and health standards - I'd venture they'll be one of the last.

But the comments stand.

Maybe, maybe not. In two decades or so the pollution driven diseases
will bite them hard. India will take a decade or more longer.

which doesn't relate in any way to my comments.
