China keen on action in global efforts against climate change

9. You seem to have a creative memory.

Since the awakening they have been steadily scaling back or slowing down the classic approach and rolling their huge incoming cash flow into both positioning themselves for the coming global market in renewable technology and meeting their own needs with renewables.

What a convenient blind spot that you have. The reality is that they continued to increase their reliance on nuclear power right up until Fukushima... the only result of which appears to be a one-year hiccup.

You've tried this nonsense before. Remember your claims that it was really a single corrupt official who was responsible for their nuclear daliances... and once the projects that were already underway were completed, they would be stepping back out? How many days did it take for that one to die?

The reality is that they have the most agressive nuclear expansion program in the world... yet you allow yourself to play 3Monkeys and sing their praises as a model for the world.

As to hydro I haven't looked too much at that. It is a (limited) large scale resource that they have the right to develop as they see fit. The scale of 3 Gorges is something that troubles me in much the same way that nuclear does, however. The probability of catastrophic failure is low, but the consequences should it happen would be a nation-altering event for them.

Now there's an odd reaction. Tell me... what would you estimate the consequences would be of a worst-case scenario?
