Does Joe Romm know about this?

Joe Romm thinks nuclear power is too expensive, but it's going to be a major sector in China's energy future.

Nuclear power crucial to China

Nuclear power is important to China because of its quest for climate change mitigation, an expert with the environment ministry has said.

"The Chinese nuclear industry still feels confident to meet the installed capacity targets of 40 million and 70 million kilowatts by 2015 and 2020 respectively," Ren Junsheng, a member of the nuclear safety commission, said Saturday.

Got that, Joe?  China (perhaps unbelievably, to an extent) sees nuclear as a way to add more power and do it while addressing climate change.  Would that we in the USA could be so enlightened.
