Special today, flamed bald eagle!
I remember when the US acted in its own interest.
In case of a leak, folks for miles around will sound like chipmunks.
You can’t power modern civilization on wind and solar. Remember this the next time you see Green extremists pushing for more of those, and trying to shut down coal and gas fired power generation.
So...
when americans invented this the leftists called it the ‘china syndrome’ to demonize the technology. Now that the chinese have adopted it will the leftists call it ‘The America Syndrome’?
Found out last week that those birdchopper blades have an internal scaffolding made from BALSA WOOD clear-cut from the Amazon Rainforest.
You can’t make this stuff up.
You will know the Chinese have acheived their goal of replacing America as the dominant world power when they announce they have openned their first sales office for SMRs in this country. I wouldn’t be surprised if Tesla is the first company to start installing them here.
Hopefully they’ll sell us some of them.
.
US has its own start-ups out there.
Recently did a power service job at Nu-Scale. It was only at their administrative offices. I may drop some money into them.
Not sure if they are trading just yet.
......instead of blowing money on little nuclear power plants the Chinese should be using that money to pay engineers to FIX the Three Gorges Dam which, according to some, is about to break and possibly kill millions of people!
Judging from all the Chinese crap I’ve been forced to buy the last think I want with Made in China stamped on it is a nuclear power plant in my back yard.
I’ve thought for years that if a “standard” (mass-produced) small reactor could be built, our problems would be over.
More complicated, for sure, and not so small-scale, but not unlike those stationary utility combustion engines all the old farmers used to have that they could hook up to anything using belts.
Make the reactors the size of a semi-trailer and put them all over the place. They could power small communities easily. Maybe we can’t make them that small yet, but if we’d started decades ago, we’d be close by now. (Yes, yes, there are all kinds of “but what about [insert your problem here]?” But those are what we call “engineering problems”. Those can be solved.)
