That won't be necessary anymore.
The fact that China, which is an absolute leader in nuclear power, wasn't able to scale up this energy source as fast as wind and (soon) solar (in terms of GWh delivered) and the planned 150 reactors will barely catch up with renewables speaks volumes.
I mean, it's a safe and environmentally friendly technology, but it just can't be built fast enough.
- throwaway2037 5y agoFrom here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_power_in_China https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_power_in_China I see: <<The country ranks third in the world both in total nuclear power capacity installed and electricity generated>> Can you please explain what you mean by <<The fact that China, which is an absolute leader in nuclear power...>>?
- Tade0 5y agoThe Wikipedia article is out of date. Currently China ranks second in terms of energy generated: https://world-nuclear.org/information-library/current-and-future-generation/nuclear-power-in-the-world-today.aspx https://world-nuclear.org/information-library/current-and-fu... By leadership I mean that they're one of the few countries which in the last 20 years managed to consistently deliver new nuclear capacity on time and (roughly) within budget. The US generally ranks first, but delivered what, one power plant in the XXIth century so far?
