...in a country that is building nuclear plants at a rate not seen since the 20th century in the United States and in France, is inherently dishonest.

In this century, China has brought 61 nuclear reactors on line, and has 38 under construction. Their reactors can run day or night, on windy days and on still days.

Of course, one is free to claim something about "narratives" and bias, but it might be wise to consider whether this is a pot and kettle case.

I have already made clear that nuclear energy, in China, and everywhere else on Earth for that matter, has a far higher capacity utilization than solar and wind junk.
