Canadian companies - having become experts in the arena of acid rain decades ago - are stepping up to the plate and offering China various technologies to help reduce the acid rain-causing emissions from Chinese power plants and manufacturing facilities - all at a profit to the Chinese economy and the Canadian invitees.
