Freaky Deaky Nuke's
"China will start constructing five nuclear power plants (NPPs) this year, part of an effort to dramatically expand its nuclear power capacity by 2020, officials said yesterday." The move could help China reduce its dependence on fossil fuel and minimize harmful effects on the environment. Then again, safety is an issue that is going to be a tough issue to deal with. Considering that presently China only produces 2% of the world's nuclear energy and that the United States, Japan and France produce a majority, I would say to China once again, hop on board!

Hopefully these NPP's will help China catch up with the amount of world energy they produce. however, safety is the bigger issue also what neighboring country's reactions will be to these plants. especially North Korea.
