10. That is why unlike certain person who likes to call wind "toys"...
I realize we need wind/solar/hydro/efficiency improvements and sadly we likely need some CCS too (although it should be last resort).

The problem is too big to leave any cards on the table.

It is unlikely China will ever develop more than 30% nuclear power but it is equally likely China will develop 30%+ wind. However we may see 20%-25% of each = 40%-50% emission free power. Throw in 20% hydro, 5%-10% solar, and some CCS and you *could* see a low carbon (although unlikely carbon neutral) China.
