No offense, "Realm of math" is useless autistic framing. We're in the realm of politics and policy. Numbers rising or falling are execution noise, downstream of intent and implementation. PRC's 13th/14th Five-Year Plans all kept medium term target (~200GW by 2035). Shortfalls (i.e. numbers decreasing) come from first-gen domestic reactor growing pains not strategic abandonment. Pointing at a latest points graph line and yelling "decreasing" without context is spreadsheet nitpicks vs what policy signals suggest future trend will be. The reality is PRC rollout is slightly behind schedule, single digit years. LCOE of solar and other renewables are increasing projected energy generation targets, so nuclear is less as % of energy mix even though policy for nuclear has been steady, i.e. behind schedule =/= decreasing nuclear commitment. | ||
