Prof. Roger Pielke Jr.: China will have to put the equivalent of one nuclear power plant per week on line between now & 2030 – ‘Some people take it seriously’
China “intends” to derive 20 per cent of their energy from non-carbon based sources by 2030. No doubt working late into last night (as did we; this story broke at 10:30), the estimable Roger Pielke, Jr., has already calculated that this means that the Chinese will have to put the equivalent of one nuclear power plant per week on line between now and then. As Roger wryly noted, “some people take it seriously”.
