I thought that Chonqing is an interesting city to look at because of the inherently rapid growth happening there on the banks of the Yangze River. I look forward to investigating whether or not China can be a catalyst for change on the environmental front in the coming years and decades. They seem to be able to not be hampered by as much bureaucracy (on the surface) as perhaps we are here in the West. Hopefully the expediency and money that they used to build say, the Three Gorges Dam will be put toward hydrogen fuel cells for vehicles or solar or wind power on an uber grand scale. My sincere hope is that they do it before the coal dust cloud the size of Texas that is hanging over them wins the battle over all living creatures that it touches.
