China has entered into an agreement to build a 1.2GW nuclear power plant worth $4.8bn, in Pakistan, CNN reported.

The cash-strapped country, which is struggling to save itself from a balance of payments crisis, thanked China for offering a discount of $100m and for not rescheduling the costs despite the deferment of the project, originally set to begin two years earlier in 2021.

    posadist-nuke would be a potential unimaginably high cost in one of the most likely countries in the world to have a land war, it’s nice to have nuclear power but if this current war has taught us anything nuclear power plants will not be kept out of a war for safety reasons

    not advocating for them not to have it, but it’s a real big picture concern
