You do know that China still out polutes the US by a considerable margin? Just because they have lowered it by a bigger percentage than the US doesnt mean they are beating the US. They started from farther out than we did. China has a big smog problem, somthing the US has gotten under control with Catalytic converters, unfortunatly Catalytic converters add to green house gasses so less smog and more global warming.

They have a bigger smog problem, but they are already ahead of the US in green energy production and invest much more in green energy.

I'll add one small thing to this as an American.

Why do we have to be #1 in everything? Why does the world, and our people, always expect us to be the leader in every given situation? It's always felt like an unrealistic burden. If China wants to be the leader on this then go ahead, I wish them luck! They'll create energy-safe/efficient technologies and then can capitalize off it (I just hope they don't cry wolf and respect Karma when people start stealing their technologies with no regard to their patents).

 

...Some of my fellow "citizens" will says things like "oh my gosh! America is #22 on Math/Science scores worldwide?! Japan and Denmark are head!??!" Good for Japan and Denmark! (ficticious examples)
