China has a huge population that requires a lot of the worlds resources, that is a given. But I was surprised to think that a country that big (or any country) would not have made some sort of water treatment plants that filters the salt out of the ocean water and makes it potable to aid in the lack of fresh water.
The vision that Dodson lacks is the vision of technology. Especially technology coexisting within the environment. He briefly explained how China has an array of wind farms, wave converters and other sorts of alternative energy. But what was missing was some sort of vision of a future where those technologies would coexist with the natural landscape. I see a land where the Chinese are replanting their trees, at a greater rate to stop the desert from growing, and making Solar Trees and gigantic wind farms that could be among the natural vegetation.
The amount of recycling that is being done
The amount that China focuses many be able to battle or slow down the process, rate or amount of products that have to be imported, thus using less of the countries resources.
I see how this can potentially reflect upon the future of the US, but since there is a great push here for people to be green and recycle. I see this as being a more managed problem in the US. I don’t believe that it will grow to the extent of the Chinese problem.
