The one in Dalian spewed forth so much pollution that one could not see the other side of the valley. When querried about this, the owner said that he had bought all of the required equipment to clean up the plant but that he would not install it until the government forced him to. This reinforces one of the paragraphs in the article referring to the reluctance to add additional costs to the manufacturing process for pollution concerns. What I have seen just about everywhere is good laws that are not enforced.The ongoing benefits of additional operating costs will have to be proven to make it work or the penalties will have to have a major deterrent effect. <strong>Robert Travers</strong> I worked with a couple of cement plants in China.
