The plan would be increase nuclear energy by nearly 5 times from today’s level and to eliminate coal for electricity by 2050. China would depend upon solar, wind and nuclear energy for electricity. China would double its total energy usage. The changes would be gradual until 2035 and then they would speed up changes. The plan would need $15 trillion of investment.
