China Syndrome: Bring on the Nukes

"Shai Oster’s article in the WSJ today notes that China’s nuclear power sector is growing even faster than expected. The Chinese government is now shooting for 50% more nuclear power than it originally targeted—it now wants 60 nuclear gigawatts. That’s not far from what France has. Of course, in France, all those gigawatts mean 80% of the nation’s electricity supply; the same amount in China might be 4%."

"The WSJ article notes that a pair of local heavyweights, China National Nuclear Corp., and China Guangdong Nuclear Power Holding Co., are gearing up to compete. In wind and solar, Chinese firms went from also-rans to global players in record time. Who will count them out when the race goes nuclear?"
