The Chinese government have already recognised their stronghold on power in the country will be jeopardised if the populace are subjected to polluted air for too much longer... they have cleaned up their act and canned coal power stations left right and centre.

The Indians will have no choice but to follow suit. You'd have to be crazy to invest "long" in coal. Unless you're making steel it will join asbestos and lead paint in the annals of industrial history.
chuboy, you've obviously never flown in Australia when there's bush fires and/or dust storms about..

Reading an actual Indian news report rather then global warming hysteria from an Oz media source and we find:
"...As Delhi and its neighbours spar over stubble burning, a Centre-run monitoring agency has identified a West Asian dust storm as the chief trigger behind the recent smog episode in the region.
On November 8, the contribution of the dust storm was 40 per cent, eclipsing the role of emissions from stubble burning, which stood at 25 per cent, the Pune-based System of Air Quality And Weather Forecasting And Research (SAFAR) said..."


Delhi smog: Dust storm in West Asia precipitated crisis, says SAFAR

Some thing else one would note if they have flown aircraft over Australian coal fired power stations is the only thing coming out the tower is steam. The new build coal fired power stations being built in India and China have the 'coal grit' removal systems built in.
