China is wants to lead the world in wind power, with a goal of 100 GW of installed power capacity by 2020, and 40% of its energy coming from renewables by 2050, The People's Daily Online reports.

This aggressive target means wind will be able to produce more energy for China than nuclear power, even though the country is building many nuclear plants as well.

1. I don't doubt it.

2. Now that's clear 2020 vision!

And America's vision is what?

3. There are zero anti-nukes who do anything but soothsaying. In fact, anti-nukes were

saying the same sort of things about 2010 they are now saying about 2020.

In 2020, assuming that stupidity hasn't caused the total collapse of the atmosphere, there will antinukes making these kinds of statments about 2030.

In 1976 Amory Lovins, dangerous fossil fuel shill, said that solar and wind would outstrip nuclear by 2000.

In fact, he said nuclear would be dead.

He should have worn a wizard hat with little stars and moons on it, but he was dumber than any kid's fantasy of that time.

Mostly anti-nukes read flaky news articles written by equally flaky reporters. They don't read the primary scientific literature and are completely unaware of its contents.

Now, how about a nice look at the oil and gas rigs being sunk by Denmark all over the North Sea?
