Back when I worked in EDF, biggest nuclear energy producer, I was astonished to see how fast China was developing its nuclear power.

it had to build nuclear reactor, solar panels and also diesel engines because they just need so much energy but the sheer amount of money spent on nuclear reactor is unthinkable.

That was 10 years ago already, I’m glad to see it’s having an impact. Soon enough, the picture of polluted air in China will be gone and we’ll see that instead in the USA.

China has significantly slowed their nuclear build out. They're still building them faster than anyone else, but the primary cause of the headline is solar.
