China’s quiet energy revolution: the switch from nuclear to renewable energy

There is now a policy dispute about the roles of nuclear and renewable energy in future Australian low emission energy systems.

In December 2011 China’s National Energy Administration announced that China would make nuclear energy the foundation of its electricity generation system in the next 10 to 20 years. Just over a decade later China has wound back those ambitious targets and reoriented its low emission energy strategy around the rapid deployment of renewable solar and wind energy at unprecedented rates.
