    whats your source on that? afaik they were trying to increase safety after fukushima and have continued normal production. china is the only country to not have a major incident with nuclear despite high levels of continuous operation. they also work with france which has a similar track record.

    iirc theyre going to be relying heavily on hydro, wind, and nuclear going up to the 2060 mark, with around 25% nuclear projected by 2060 at the current rate. considering how much fucking energy china uses, that is a lot of nuclear plants.

      Here's an article on the slowdown from 2017, https://www.neimagazine.com/opinion/opinionnuclear-in-china-why-the-slowdown-5896525/

      I went and checked current construction status and it does not look that different, they did not meet the 2020 targets.
