The Nuclearization Of Asia
Not bombs - energy:
Japan: Japan has 55 units in operation, 2 under construction, 11
planned, also 17 research reactors. Japan generates 29% of its
electricity from nuclear power. By 2015, nuclear contribution is
expected to increase, especially if emission targets under the Kyoto
Protocol are met. Longer term plans are to double nuclear capacity (to
90 GWe) and nuclear share by 2050...
China: 10 units in operation, 5 under construction, 13 planned, 50
proposed; also 13 research reactors. is moving ahead rapidly in
building new nuclear power plants, many of them conspicuously on time
and on budget.
I'm with McCain on this one: any energy plan that does not have a major nuclear component is not carbon-serious.
