Ah yes. And China still burns coal for power don’t they?
They have made pretty good progress when it finds to renewable energy. But they also still use a fuck ton of coal. About 55% of their energy comes from coal. Better than 10 years ago when it was 70% but still way too much.
China built more than the entire solar capacity of the united states in this year alone and got 25 nuclear power plants under construction. per capita CO2 emmisions in china have been lower than the US for a while now.
The thought of hundreds of Chinese nuclear power plants doesn’t fill my heart with confidence when even Japan can’t keep theirs from melting down.
Japan did have a bit of an earthquake and a tsunami to contend with.
Wasn‘t it also a GE (General Electric) design?
