Coal power

[oil pan 4]

If you build pressurized water reactors, then they don't blow up.
Chernobyl and fukmeshima were boiling water reactors.
The 3 mile island non disaster was a pressurized water reactor, note the anticlimactic ending.
Also 3 mile island wouldn't have melted down had the emergency cooling pumps not been illegally locked out "for maintenance" and procedures have changed so that if a reactor runs a way, orders now say to cool it down fast as possible and if that cracks the reactor core so be it. A cracked core sucks but not nearly as bad as even a minor melt down. The reactor is done either way.

Molten Salt [IS GREATER THAN] water.

Stupid/useless government spiked molten salt reactor tech in favor of nuclear weapons proliferation tech.

It's not too late. We're just now getting the need for a nuclear option that can survive launch to low Earth orbit.

That's where the heavy industry needs to be. Corvettes will rain from the sky, like the beginning of Heavy Metal [the movie].

Well it looks like china has 55 coal fired power plants under construction for 2022, so they never even slowed down building them.
So my response to:

That commie nation has done almost nothing to better their environment or the people in it.
China has exploded way past the US as far as CO2 production. Their CO2 production looks like the Mann hockey stick graph.
Surely saying it's a bridge to solar is a joke and I just didn't get it because the government didn't issue me a sense of humor in basic training.
China was on track to open a few dozen coal fired plants in 2019.
Yeah by the time that happens I will be driving what ever made tesla obsolete or be dead and voting democrat.

My god that aged well.

Half of that is inevitable though. Half-truths get full credit these days.

And depending on who is paying for a mainstream media report, a complete lie gets even more credit

Seems like they lead the world in renewable energy production and electric car sales.
As an 'under-developed' nation, they and India are perfectly allowed to do coal under all UN agreements, ratified 100% by all member states.
Once they achieve per-capita parity with the industrialized world they'll be held to a different standard.
If the USA so chooses, they can on-shore all the industry they off-shored, beginning under Republican President Clinton, and bring 54- coal power plants-worth of air pollution back to the USA, and at Union scale.
Perhaps that will please everyone.

China is always going to be an under developed nation if gives them a free pass to build dozens of coal fired power plants every year.
More jobs here sounds good. Let's do that.
