    • The West starting to use nuclear and in the future, while Chyna going back to coal and steam engines...while inhabiting the same planet.grafician
    • We pledge to burn that coal as clean as we cannb
    • China is also developing a commercial version of a molten-salt thorium nuclear reactor. They want to start using and selling it by 2030.uan
    • They are also into solar, wind and water ...which doesn't seem to work to good atm because of low water levels at their rivers.uan
    • Wouldn't trust any nuclear tech coming from Chyna. Ever.

      As for renewables, they don't scale fast enough to cover Chyna needs

      So it's coal all the way

    • yes it's what he told. this doesn't mean they are not investing in a better future solution. also China's engineering capabilities are impressive if not nr1 nowuan
    • China, for example, generates around 30% of all global emissions, while the United States is responsible for almost 14%.utopian
    • while China is 18.47% and US 4.25% of world population. so it's a factor of 1.6 vs 3.3. but those numbers mean nothing. should look at where the goods go to.uan
