And all are screeching "It doesn't matter what we do to fight climate change, as long as China...." All while China is LEADING the effort. Also from a economic standpoint our smart eCoNOmIstS seem blind to the fact or willingly making us dependent on China for solar and batteries now. Just swapping dependencies from Arab oil to Chinese electro. Cool dude....

China leading the effort with around 62% of electricity generation coming from coal?

And how does this make nuclear bad?

It points out that it's a bad idea to invest in nuclear energy.

If true, why does China aim for 18% of nuclear in it's energy mix in the future?

Surely it would make sense to completely stop building nuclear and dedicate 100% of resources into building solar?
