    Mate?

    Nuclear takes forever to build, we could pump out a million storage solutions before enough nuclear was built.

    Nuclear is the complete opposite of a middle ground.

      China built 37 of them in the last 10 years according to the article. It doesn’t take forever, it just takes foresight and planning, which most of the Western world lacks beyond the next quarter profits lol.

      The baseline capacity nuclear provides can get evolving countries like China out of the fossil fuel phase, which is critically important. I don’t know what your problem is with nuclear, it’s been a relatively safe and stable form of energy generation that’s far better than any fossil fuel.

      Edit: and I just read the top comment in the thread that they’re building a fuckton of coal plants too. Damn it.
