From the International Herald Tribune:
Let’s not dream: It will take 20 years for nuclear energy to supply even 4 to 5 percent of China’s demands for electricity, while renewable energy will always be marginal.
 
As a consequence, China will consume energy from traditional sources, especially oil and coal, and it will seek to procure energy by all possible means in Central Asia, Iran, Africa or Latin America.
 
It will form new alliances, some of which may be in conflict with the West.
