China is also building nuclear power faster than anyone else.
- ben_w 4y agoGood for them. While nuclear is one of the most expensive electricity sources, with surprisingly limited fuel reserves given the energy density, it's incredibly safe (despite the reputation) and I think there is inherent value in a diverse supply that can make up for the sticker price.
