Westside Steve Posted February 6, 2021 Report Share Posted February 6, 2021 https://trib.al/6SSiBKF So by putting the clamps on American manufacturing, the one place in the world where emissions have been going down for the last 15 or 20 years with or without the EPA and allowing the chicomes to operate freely thereby making Chinese goods easier and cheaper to acquire regardless of environmental impact helps promote a cleaner world in exactly what way? I'm being serious and I haven't called anybody any names. But those of you who are so happy about the Paris Accord doesn't that make sense to you people at all?

Remains to be seen how badly (if at all) American manufacturing takes a hit from the stricter environmental standards that are coming... Well it doesn't really matter if the US takes a small hit or a large hit and China takes absolutely no hit because they're the biggest culprits. And to take you guys at your word that the goal is to make the environment cleaner even if business suffers somewhat then the result of the deal has it stand goes to the opposite of that goal. I would still not like the Paris / China Accord but it would bemore palatable if it applied to China if India. And if you look at the huge amount products from China here and around the world look at the size of their military look at the output of their defense machinery it's hard to shed a tear over them as as an emerging Nation. Furthermore since the United States is not even in the top 10 countries in terms of trade deficit with China, Saudi Arabia being on that list about 5, it would greatly benefit us to remain energy independent and one of the top exporters n the world's top exporters of that.

BaconHound Posted February 9, 2021 Report Share Posted February 9, 2021 These same arguments have been made when vehicle emission standards changed and electric vehicles were introduced, yet somehow we had the greatest economy in history pre-COVID. Manufacturing will continue to suffer not because of government regulation but by consumer demands. We wrap ourselves in the flag every chance we get but when it comes to purchasing products, money is the deciding factor. Increased consumer demand, followed by diversifying American made goods, will strengthen US manufacturing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My sincere hope is the United States becomes the shining beacon on the hill. And before we just throw up our hands which will do soon enough... Two major manufacturers one, the United States, whose emissions have been going down for 15 or 20 years and the other one of the worst polluters on Earth. Our goods are going to cost more and Chinese products are going to cost less. If you believe the China's other trading partners including the Europeans are going to bite the bullet and spend the extra money for products made in a country the produces the more cleanly I think you are dreaming. And the impact on the environment from more Chinese goods and less us goods isn't hard to evaluate. I believe that's a fact regardless of how personally frightened I am of climate change. PS I guess those other trading partners could put an environmental tax on Goods that they buy from China but that sort of defeats the purpose of the good price they are getting and I don't see it happening. And Biden won't put a tariff on Chinese Goods just out of spite for Trump doing it. WSS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
