This article kind of annoyed me! There should not be a competition to "going green," that is not at all the purpose. This is something that EVERY country should be taking part in because it will help save the environment that we have all been killing for hundreds and hundreds of years. This is not "Sputnik," it is not uncharted territory or anything even remotely close to that. We are all just as responsible for the torture we have inflicted on this world so it really is stupid to try to say that it is just China's fault and name-call them ("global pollution villain"). It is useless to put all the blame on one country because we are all equally to blame. Instead, we need to look towards the future and find ways to be more environmentally friendly now that it has become a huge problem. We should just be happy that they are being responsible about it now and trying to fix their past wrongs instead of looking at it as a threat (China can do NOTHING right apparently; we blame them for the problem and then get annoyed when they try to fix it!) Obviously we have discusses how it is expensive to "go green" so if businesses could buy this equipment at a lower cost in China then I do not see where the problem lies. Like the article states, just because China is opening up tons of new jobs because of the "going green" trend, does not necessarily mean that that is taking away any United States jobs that will also be created for this trend. I agree with the article when it talks about the "folks in green-tech and environmental frontlines" who believe "the green-tech "race" is not one that one side wins and the others loses, but a scenario where partnerships are sought out and the final equation doesn't have to be a zero-sum game." If we could all work to help each other out it would be a lot more beneficial then trying to compete against every other country out there.
