    @spiritedpause @worldnews It’s sleight-of-hand. Fossil fuels - the wealthiest industry in human history - has successfully kept nuclear and renewables at a 10% market share since the first electric car over a hundred years ago. Sacrificing future generations so fossil fuels billionaires get another yacht, is the fashionable abuse-of-power, nowadays.

    20 countries but excluding the single largest driver of nuclear energy development in the world: China.

    What a fucking worthless declaration.

      How isn’t that even better, then? Those countries set a bar for themselves, no matter what China decides to do

      I’m not so sure that it’s completely worthless. Maybe a third to half of the signees could purchase reactors from Chinese firms.
