They are investing heavily in nuclear energy while the western politicians focus on what sounds good, aka wind power that doesn't work when there is no wind.

Nuclear energy comes with considerable risks. If the fucking Japanese cant even prevent a nuclear meltdown do you honestly think it's a good idea to seed the planet with these ticking time bombs as humanity gets increasingly dumber, divided, and degenerate? Once these things are up and running you cant just throw an off switch when things go wrong, and you have to store the nuclear waste somewhere.

Japan had an unmodern reactor which was hit by the Earthquake of the century followed by a massive tsunami and one person died. Compare that to coal. 60 years of nuclear energy in western countries and that is the worst accident. Coal kills thousands per day.
