    I’m not an electricity generation understander, so I wasn’t sure just how much 68 GW was, so for reference I looked up the capacity of Olkiluoto 3 (the most powerful currently operating nuclear plant in Finland) and it’s apparently 1,6 GW. Am I understand this correctly that China exported the equivalent of like 40 olkiluoto 3s in March alone??? That’s fucking eye watering, holy moly

      France’s is ~155GW

      USA’s is ~1200GW

      China’s is ~3400GW
