110 GW at a 90% capacity factor vs 430 GW at maybe 20% capacity factor
1 comments

430 GW a year on 20% (which it is not, as china has lots of desserts with no clouds) would still be a way bigger number than 110 GW that are planned to be reached in a few years.
Yeah my bd, the capacity factor was mor like 15% for solar PV (utility scale), according to their own data

Then here I might stand corrected, but it does not change the basic equation nore the invalidation of the claim above, that china is building nuclear like it builds solar and wind. It does not. Not even close.
