Nuclear Energy - Germany is Out, China Expands

A visualization by economist and data visualizer Ehsan @Soltani inspired us to this graphic:
Germany has bid farewell to nuclear energy, while China plans to triple its nuclear power output and invest in technologies like the thorium molten salt reactor. However, China remains heavily reliant on coal power.
Germany partially meets its electricity needs through imports, including French nuclear power. With 60.1% of energy coming from renewables in 2024, the energy future remains a challenge despite plans to phase out coal.
