News: WDS Energy stocks slip as Australia nears major emissions reduction bill, page-18

But still China's emissions per capita are about half of those of Australia. China also has about the highest % of hydro power in the world (about 31%). It has 20 out of 22 worldwide high voltage distribution bringing renewable efficiently to population centres and (despite still building numerous coal fired power stations) is planning to replace those with "green" nuclear power with a plan for 150 new nuclear power stations by 2035. \

What we need to do is to streamline our approval bureaucracy which approves new major projects in months - our takes many years and now has carbon penalties. To me I simply cannot understand why we can have up to three nuclear reactors operating on nuclear submarines in Garden Island (Perth) but it is illegal to have a nuclear power station in Kwinana just a few km away (on land) - at least China has some logic to its policies and gets on with the job - they are an excellent example to emulate
