How so? Right now they are purely expanding energy production, i.e. still opening new coal plants in China. This is in no way replacing fossil fuels as far as I'm aware. Still a nice project though.

> Germany, who's gone all in on Solar and Wind renewables
Nice wall of text but as a German your central example is absolutely laughable to me. I mean if you love your nuclear energy, I don't care but hope you have fun storing the trash for a few thousand years. No, but what is absolutely absurd is claiming Germany had gone "all in" on solar and wind. When did this happen? Under Merkel with CDU and their absurd 3-H restrictions in Bavaria? What are you talking about?
Because as far as I'm aware we've been razing villages all the time for coal and been happily burning that. Where and when did that non-existing renewable all-in happen?! Or are you just using Germany as a staw man since we shut off all but 3 nuclear plants?
