btw China has quadrupled its green energy production since 2008

        I mean it’s green but it still wouldn’t make sense to designate specific “nuclear” areas, because you can place a nuclear power plant practically anywhere short of a desert

          I’m absolutely not qualified to say much about this, but I did hear that China is working on liquid salt cooling, which apparently makes it feasible to put nuclear reactors in the desert.

          Green yes (well mostly, has significant caveats worth considering).

          Renewable no. Ore, such as uranium or plutonium, is finite and will not regenerate in a reasonable timespan. Usually requires supernovae by particularly dense stars to produce heavy metals like this.
