This makes me wonder: If SV only has 20 something superfund sites from back when tech was very small, how many superfund sites does china have with their massive factories?
There's likely a huge under-reporting of pollution-related illnesses. I know that respiratory illness statistics are an actual state secret -- you can't get access to the actual data on pollution-related illnesses.
Chinese pollution is beyond crisis levels. All of this worry about the Paris agreement and CO2 -- that's nonsense: China has problems with actual pollution that kills people, such as benzene and other highly toxic chemicals and particulate pollution.
That would require a sizable expansion of EPA jurisdiction that might run into a few issues.
