It's hard to safe yourself by building nuclear when China uses more coal - where a lot of coal is imported from the US.
So I'd say: The US and Australia need to stop coal exports to China. But then again you get Trump promising miners to increase coal production as a result.
- vel0city 3y ago> where a lot of coal is imported from the US. US coal in China is like 2% of China's coal imports.
- defrost 3y agoVery much so - China and India both get enormous amounts of coal from Anglo-Australian and Indian Coal companies that mine in Australia .. these same companies own or control many of the exporting thermal coal mines in the US via companies listed on the Toronto:TSX. Another 'truth' about USofA coal exports is that they are largely divorced from the US political system; when Trump (? IIRC) boasted about reopening coal mines, etc he really didn't do anything. The underlying cause was massive tropical storms and flooding in Australia resulting in (some) wet coal beds (open cut mines) and a switch by the parent companies to draw on US coal sources while their preferred fields dried out.
