MODERATORS
This is a really bad linear fit of the graph. If you remove the pre-2010 data for China (just 5 data points), the trend of prices in China is actually upwards or just barely neutral.
Of course, nuclear is a great baseload source. But the construction costs are real.
Linear fit or not, still about an order of magnitude below western prices
Well, yeah. That's just a given for China
