If this were going to help -- if the people who want to gut the EPA were inclined to care enough about the country's air and water quality -- they wouldn't have to go to China. They could just read about the past in the US.

In my experience, if someone had a good head on their shoulders they merely have to use the lessons of the past as guidelines for what you do (or not do) in the future.

I haven't seen a politician like that in a while, but they have existed.

This is not only the US but the whole industrial / coal revolution. But I think they do know about that already.
