China opens its 50th nuclear reactor.

2. You'd rather live next to a Chinese coal plant, I guess.

The Chinese know how to build nuclear plants.

We are the incompetents, not them.

We don't, although historically, we built about 100 in 20 years, between 1965-1985, using primitive technology, the overwhelming majority of which still operate, saving lives that would have otherwise been lost to air pollution.

We don't build nuclear plants because, um, we're stupid.

(It is true that two plants in the US, pushed hard by Obama's first Energy Secretary, Steven Chu, are nearing completion in the United States, but there is very little evidence that they will be quite as good as Chinese plants.)
