From a Wilson Center Report : “China still consumes nearly five times as much coal as India, and nearly six times as much as the United States (the second and third largest coal consumers, respectively), and is building a huge number of new plants.” (Estimated to be over 300 new plants in China in 2022)
All the more reason to build on the recent success with nuclear fusion energy at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. The United States should lead an international consortium of nations that agree to fund accelerated research and development that can make NF the logical, effective, and efficient replacement for fossil fuels in the 21st century.
The fusion reactor requires heating things up to temperatures hotter than the sun. Seems to me that this would contribute to global warming. But, climate change might be the price we pay along the way for progress. Fossil fuels made all of this possible, including the creation of fission and fusion reactors.
