The Case for Nuclear Energy in China

Nuclear energy is the only viable way to produce clean energy on a large enough scale to meet China's energy needs. Despite considerable investment in renewable energy sources such as wind, solar and bio-fuels, China’s energy demand will always outstrip supply from these sources. Professor Hardiman examines the options available to China to meet its energy requirements and reduce its dependence on coal and fossil fuels.  He argues that nuclear energy is the only viable choice for a carbon-free energy future.
