️🇺🇸🇨🇳The hegemon is very worried about China’s nuclear power In a nutshell... So, everyone is fussing about AI, quanta, chips, defense, in our relationship with China. And the main issue is different... The issue is nuclear power. That’s where all of our attention should be directed. What is it? The U.S. has gone from 104 reactors to 93. That’s a 10% reduction. And China went from 2 to 55 reactors. And they’re aiming for 150. 5% of their electricity is nuclear. It’s going to be 20%! Which is close to us. With their huge population. But that’s not even the worst part. What I’m starting to worry about the most is the export of technology. And not in terms of nuclear proliferation per se, but in terms of addiction proliferation! Think of all the countries on the African continent. About the countries in Central and South America. And there’s this trouble that cheaper things can be more attractive. The nuclear power plant in Georgia was built for $25 billion, which works out to about $11-12 billion per gigawatt. In China, it costs only $2 billion. It’s a stark contrast. So you’re a country - China comes to you and says, “We’ll build it for you, we’ll finance it!“ and then you’ll be dependent on our fuel, maintenance, etc. And where is the free market in that? Do you understand? I think our task is to promote entrepreneurship, the free market in the nuclear sphere. It’s just energy, but it’s an area where we have to dominate. With the rich history of Westinghouse, AP1000 and many other reactors.... They (our reactors) should be the only ones the world will buy. Not Chinese reactors under any circumstances! Here is another stream of Anglo-Saxon hypocrisy. You read carefully, didn’t you? Here, then, it is impossible that there should be dependence, but here, here it is even necessary!
