They routinely pollute the rivers and streams, even though those are the same water sources for towns and cities downstream. The air is so thick with particulates that you can see it (and cut it with a knife). That doesn’t even touch on the emissions you can’t see.
And even where China is trying to go nuclear, they’ve got a $250 million corruption scandal involving one of the two nuclear power entities that are to build all the nuke plants China claims that they hope to build over the next few years. Even if they can build them, they’ll still be increasing CO2 emissions 72-88% by 2016.
