"the lady doth protest too much, methinks." i am not attempting to export any bad habits to china. i have simply made the assertion that china is adding cars very fast and adding road infrastructure very fast. thus their oil usage is and will increase rapidly. i posted the links about china road infrastructure from the cwei thread and the world bank as concrete information for you to do with as you wish. and fyi your private mail was just one pm and it covered your opinion on china as well as some solar. in the public posts (i have sent you no pm.) i did in the past several days to you i mentioned both wind and solar as well as china. i don't think i am confused. i will glady post your pm in this bdbbr forum should you desire it. i understand you are a wonderful environmentalist and solar koenner, and that is great. i am simply stating that oil demand from china is going to increase a lot (without a big economic downturn) and that solar (and don't be confused here -- wind too) are not going to provide much of china's electricity needs in the next twenty years. the chinese have signed contracts with ge for about six or eight nukes over the next eight years. that is what the chinese told me when i was there in june, 2004. i am not attacking solar (or wind). i am however stating that more oil and more nukes are the way china is going instead of solar (or wind).

germany just shut off all their nukes? i just got time to do some work on your comment about germany's (or do you mean vestas' or gamesa's nukes -- if they have one/some?) nukes shutting down. this link from nuclear international is from july, 2004, and it states germany has 18 nukes up and running. lots of good info here for you that you may not know. when i read your comment that i interpretted as germany has just shut down all their nukes, i thought that had to be either wrong or you meant something else. perhaps the first german nuke at obrigheim (1969) is the one that might be up for closure. (??) it states that germany gets 1/3 its power from nuclear plants, so a lot of wind would be needed to take out those big ones. uic.com.au and maybe this is what you mean about german nukes. from 2001 the greens have gotten the 32 year shutdown agreement for the nukes, but the greens say that is not soon enough. is this what you mean, i.e., it is the intention to shut down all the nukes in germany? greennature.com
