I am interested in hearing your opinions about nuclear power, what you know, if you have any fears, or ideas? Do you know if your country has any nuclear power generation?

    We as in humanity. The majority of nations are capitalist nations, and all nations use currency, which means opportunity cost.

    Every state and power utility that is considering what to allocate their money on is going to choose the bare minimum it takes to keep the lights on. That means going the cheapest, not doing the most.

    China may have a lower opportunity cost due to the tighter control over the economy, but they’re still paying it. China is not in the perfect world situation either. They’re just sacrificing the opportunity cost.

      I’m confused, do the Chinese not count as a part of humanity? The entire world is losing to China when it comes to nuclear power increases.

        Yes, China counts as humanity.

        What that graph does not show is the reduced production of solar and wind. That means that overall there is less power being generated by green sources. So they are overall producing more greenhouse gasses than if they had just gone full solar and wind.

        It seems you’ve missed the point.
