CHINA - To cut pollution, China needs "1,000 nuclear reactors" [AN]

[Catholic_Press]

In order to keep the pledges made at the APEC summit to reduce emissions starting in 2030, Chinese President Xi J(name removed by moderator)ing must focus on renewable sources. In lieu of nuclear energy, he can choose between 500,000 wind turbines or 50,000 solar farms with an estimated price tag of US$ 2 trillion. Environment-related protest over climate change is making an “energy revolution” a priority.

Gee, I wonder who they are going to get to pay for them? This Administration always seems to have a spare trillion or two to give away, to another country.

It’s disappointing that so few articles shared China’s energy plan by fuel type, perhaps because they are focused on growing Nuclear, Natural Gas, and building dams rather than green approved renewables.

We already are, with the trillions on national debt interest that we are paying them already. They have loads of cash.

They’ll save it, though, because they won’t do any of this. They’ll do whatever costs less at the time regardless of emissions.

They’ll do whatever causes the least social unrest and/or promotes general social satisfaction. Right now that means pursuing renewables and alternative sources of energy.
