20 countries but excluding the single largest driver of nuclear energy development in the world: China.

What a fucking worthless declaration.

How isn't that even better, then? Those countries set a bar for themselves, no matter what China decides to do

I'm not so sure that it's completely worthless. Maybe a third to half of the signees could purchase reactors from Chinese firms.

Why would they need to declare anything? They already are pivoting away from fossil fuels as hard as they can.

Because the world moves to solar and wind, not nukular
