2. Poster calls renewable energy a "reactionary enterprise", while "a nuclear plant is a gift to a future generation."

Nuclear energy is one solution; It's NOT the only solution.

As of early 2026, China has an installed nuclear power capacity of 62.219 GW operating, ranking third globally. There are 59 reactors in operation, with an additional 28+ reactors under construction, adding another 32.31 GW of capacity. Nuclear energy accounts for approximately 2.1% of China's total installed capacity and 4.81% of its electricity generation.

China is the world leader in offshore wind, operating 138 offshore wind farms. As of mid-2025, China's operational offshore wind capacity is approximately 41 GW, solidifying its position as the world's largest market, accounting for roughly half of global capacity. This rapid development includes a massive pipeline of 437 projects at various stages of development, totaling 247 GW.

China’s solar power capacity surpassed 1,100 GW (1.1 TW) by June 2025, making it the world leader in photovoltaic (PV) capacity. In the first half of 2025 alone, China added roughly 210 GW of new solar systems, continuing a massive expansion that included 277 GW added in 2024, significantly outpacing global installations.
