China is building a lot of new nuclear, multiple new nuclear plants every year comparable to coal power plants, so not just more than anywhere else but a large number in absolute terms. Granted, they are also building more renewable power than everywhere else, but they certainly see some significant economic/structural value in nuclear despite having a lot of renewable energy.
- nxm 3y agothey are also building a ton of coal powered plants as we speak
- lucubratory 3y agoI said that in my comment. Was it unclear?
- Phurist 3y agoSure, how about we compare building regulations with China as well ? They can get away with a much simpler and also much riskier projects
- lucubratory 3y agoSure, but there's no evidence that their nuclear power plants are any more likely to fail or less safe than ours ('ours' rhetorically in reference to the West, there are no nuclear reactors in my country).
