Why do people want to believe so strongly that China is working so hard to destroy everything they’ve worked so hard to achieve. Maybe they actually do want to reduce pollution ? I’m not saying you’re wrong, but I don’t know if “Wired” would know the full story either. China a pretty difficult place to get information in and out of ?

You don't build coal fired power plants if your goal is to reduce pollution.

  You don’t build 40 nuclear power plants if your goal isn’t to reduce pollution.

    You do. Absent onerous Western regulations nuclear power is economically viable, especially if you don't build a custom design for every plant, and build a lot of them.

    Traditionally you built 40 nuclear power plants if you wanted plutonium for your atomic bombs.
