Even with all the AI data center they need the power for them, but I am awaiting if they actually build more power plants. China is actually building more power plants, unlike US and EU.

It seems just a little lopsided when they build gigawatt AI centers and kilowatt windmills.

They are 2MW windmills and Europe have many nuclear reactors stopped, those reactors produce around 1GW so it's not really an issue to find good sites.

Here in Germany the clueless government shut down all the nuclear power plants. Now what?

The Underpants Gnomes episode from South Park has never been more relevant.
