CharlesLau··on China to Build Thorium Molten-Salt Reactor in 2025
Heavy dependence on coal has led to severe environmental pollution. As winter approaches and cold fronts sweep down from the north, increased heating needs drive up thermal power generation, releasing more pollutants into the air.

The development and support of new energy vehicles can also be largely attributed to this.
