I’m sure we could’ve had cleaner air and water with manufacturing jobs. However, we sent many of those jobs to Mexico and China where they have fewer environmental and safety regulations.

In addition, the large increase in pollution and CO2 in China (largest producer by far) is because Europe and the US exported steel mills, factories, etc.
