China has less reactors than france with 20x the population. They would need 1000 reactors to match.

For a commodore user you are very optimistic about things getting better!

More nuclear plants are getting closed than built.

It's still a far cry from the 70's. My quick counting showed the US opening around 40 from 70-75.

Not really.

In short: ((by 2035)) nuclear generating capacity ((will be)) 7.7% out of predicted total electricity generating capacity.

They, however, built renewables like crazy.

I hope they're better at running nuclear power plants than they are at running infectious disease labs.
