In this Friday, Aug. 8, 2014 photo, farmer Adiya, right, stands in front of a pond of waste water near a state-of-the-art power plant that turns millions of tons of coal every year into methane in northern China's Inner Mongolia province. As a boy growing up there, Adiya could ride his horse through waist-high grass for miles without meeting another person. Now, the 32-year-old says he stays indoors some mornings because of the industrial stench. Since the plant started running in December, it has obscured the blue skies above Adiya&#8217;s home with smoke while black pools of wastewater have turned up in the grasslands. &#8220;I only wish they could build this factory in Beijing,&#8221; said Adiya, who uses only one name, as is Mongolian custom.
