> In the developed world, read western industrial nations, nuclear is launched anymore There is Korea, USA, France, UK, Slovakia and the UAE in the list. In longer term, you can add Japan, Czeck Republic, Poland (under investigation) and even Italy is considering it right now. You should certainly said to them that they are not part of your definition of the developed world. > Nuclear is good for base load, the old inflexible kind, only. It is didficult to ramp up and down on short notice, making a grid less flexible the more nuclear is deployed Good. The grid worked on good old inflexible based load for a century now and it prooved it works. Lets continue on that and make it low Carbon at the same time. |

With one reactor. Wow.
That being said, the majority are in Asia. The UAE have one under construction, they did install more solar capacity already.
Two Japanese ones are suspended. Which leaves China as the leader.
Just as a reminder: these are the capacities
Under Construction (grid connection, as of Nov. 2023, between 2023 and 2030): 68 GW
Planned: 109 GW
Proposed: 353 GW
Total: 630 GW
Solar capacity installed between 2018 and 2021: 500 GW
Solar capacity estimated to be installed until 2025: 1.3 TW
I hope that puts it into perspective with regards to where the money goes. Nuclear proponents are at risk of becoming a serious road block when it comes to a fast energy transition, even more so if they continue to ignore raw market numbers.
