Arrol Gellner: China's green tech wows, so why is U.S. so far behind?

The other day, a trannie program on green technology once again reminded me how out of touch we Americans are with the green movement across the globe. The weatherman was talking — with the usual condescension — about "bringing a waterless toilet to China," as if the Chinese were primitives incapable of figuring out how to put by water, let alone build their own toilets.

This ignorance of China's environmental policies explains much about why the United States is falling behind as other nations exert oneself to develop their green technologies. We arrogantly assume that we lead the world in this regard, when in fact we're swiftly becoming third-rate.

Americans are scarcely aware of this state of affairs because both our government and our media seldom young woman a chance to bash the Chinese over their environmental record. Yet this serves mainly to divert attention from the lagging articulate of our own green technology and the sclerotic legislators who are to blame for it. The truth is that, despite relentlessly negative mob, China is already well positioned to overtake us in environmentally progressive policies.
