🤔 Sounds good. But then why are Chinese still begging to immigrate to the US/west in record numbers (#1 pre-Covid along with India) including at the US southern border now?
@Tabula_Rasa1: 🤔 Then Chinese living in China must not know/believe it because China was #1 in numbers of people begging to move to US (and the West) pre-Covid, and now starting to increase in long lines at our southern borders like Mexicans and the rest of South America.
As a person in the Global South, I see the US has overcapacity in: + LLM (Large Language Model), which makes the rest of the world hard to compete or catch up. + Operating System (Android, iOS, Windows, etc.), which makes the rest of the world hard to compete or catch up. + Satellite (StarLink), too many!
@@oceanwave4502 --- If so, please explain why America is suffering from China Paranoia, Hysteria and Panic? China farts, America trembles and express "grave concerns."
China has a billion more people that the U.S. Of course the scale in China will be larger than America. Most U.S infrastructure was built almost a century ago. This makes it impossible for the U.S to compete with China in this field. Everything is ageing which makes things more complex and expensive to maintain.
@@deezeed2817 impossible for a country that prints a trillion dollars for its military alone, bails out corporations, allows pump & dump schemes and exports its inflation to the entire world? The USA can do way more than China if it wasn't a fa ci st & plutocratic regime
Roughly 10 years ago, PbS made a show talking China’s space program…after a Specialist blalbabla for half hr The TV host concluded Chinas space technology is at infant stage. I laughed at the moment because the show was so poorly script without decent research. Yesterday, China’s moon rover took back stones from far side if moon.
Socialism with Chinese Characteristics (spearheaded by Deng Xiaoping) adopts the best elements of all political systems from east and west, hence their success.
We are building large-scale nuclear power plants because we have a large population and need more electricity. There is no need to compare everything with China. In terms of per capita electricity consumption, the United States leads China by a significant margin.
You do realize China is in HUGE debt, right? Like literally twice as much debt as a percentage of GDP compared to the US. A quick Google search will do wonders
@@TheRedc0met Debt as a static number is meaningless. It only has meaning when compared to the capacity to pay it back. China is in a bigger debt situation relative to the size of their economy compared to the US
@@MuiltiLightRider most of their debt they owe it to themselves. all of their major banks are state owned. its basically one SOE giving loans to another SOE. theyre fine
@@raf3262Lol, think you confused their HSR with Amtrak. Their HSR transports 2.2 billion passengers at high speed, Amtrak barely cracks 23 million passengers per year at snail’s pace. Last time their HSR had an accident was 2011, Amtrak on the other hand…
It’s not just the number of reactors, but the types. We have mostly old nuclear reactors from the 70’s, they have newer and safer gen3 and gen4 reactors, molten salt and even thorium reactors. Ignoring nuclear energy because of public ignorance is one of the biggest missteps of our energy policy. Just look at France, which gets 70% of its electricity from nuclear with much cheaper rates. We have much higher electricity rates and less reliable grid.
Imagine comparing cars from the 70's and EVs today. I know nothing about nuclear plants, but from when the professor is trying to exemplify 4:46 "we are accelerating all kinds of new reactors now" and all he came up was just "Fusion reactor", let me wildly guess, there is not much progress yet, and the 1 reactor in 10 years that he is predicting, would be using old, unsafe gen2 technology (same tech from GE that used to build Fukushima) cuz that's the only way we know how to build now. :)
@@duyataksis5210you realize China is using civilian ferries because they don't have amphibious landing crafts, right? Yeah keep pumping them up buddy lmfao. All a can of COPE
The problem with America is that the corporations take advantage of little kids’ ignorance and causes them to be extremely dumbed down. The question is if it’s intentional or not.
The basic reason in the retardation of growth and development in USA is that our responsible institutions universities and forums are guiding their learners and students politically more than systematically and academically with no priority to exact and rapid research and development. Political minds have all sorts of corruptions and they cannot define the truth as such.
It's not. The Chinese primary and secondary education has something like 1600 (yes, one thousand and six hundred) credit hour worth of classes on history and politics versus about 40~80 credit in US. To say US education is guided by politics is an open insult to politics. Empty slogans are not politics. If you want someone to understand how certain ideology and political system works, you have to understand how it comes to be, what was the condition that give birth to it, what are some of the past, present and potential future decisions will be made, what is the logic and motivation behind it. To put it bluntly, the Chinese leadership can afford long turn view because both its audience and its talent pool have way more education in political matters than their competitors. It is rather easy to explain to the public on why certain decisions must be made when they can simply pull out a history and says, been there, done that, don't make the mistakes already made by someone else. ---------------------------------------------------- The reality is that detailed education in history, politic and STEM are all very expensive and time consuming. Since Reagan's funding cut in 1980s, the US public education simply don't have ability to turn out qualified students from its primary and secondary education. Hence why you have the phenomenon of massive population foreign students in the graduate level education. The US universities don't hate local Americans by any stretch of imagination, but if you don't have the education, then you are simply not capable of handling advanced post secondary education. ---------------------------------------------------- So make no mistake, this isn't some simple "one decision versus another" difference (which would imply you have a easy solution). This involves hundreds of thousands of decisions made over the course of the past 50 years and it is going to take that much effort if you want to change it.
@@qichen85 all that you have explained, I believe, is meaningful and trustworthy. But I will kindly request you, to dedicate some more moments and some more words for me in order to refine my mind about my question? (I don't need any sort of criticism or analysis, but only your bright opinion about this question). Why are then Americans lagging behind the Chinese in many aspects of life, particularly in modern investments and enhancement--- in USA being more discussions of racism terrorism feminism and all other abstract values---and that in my own opinion would be irrationality to deny the importance of these formal and informal values and norms of modern time for our sustenance and grandeur. (Analyses and statistics evaluated by authentic and reliable sources are witness to the lead of China to USA in this aspect. With the passage of time USA is losing to China. Why, my beloved? Pride hath a fall. & Vanity deceives.
@@SafdarAli-ow4ij The simple answer? It's cheaper. Remember that 1600 credit hour worth of class? It cost money. The teacher needs money to be employed, they need salary to be motivated to keep that kind of long hours. The students need to be motivated with rewards that the lengthy hours are worth it. The textbook, the support material, the various other kind of expenses. All those cost money and since general education for the entire population is mandatory nowadays to provide the necessary qualified work force, much of the primary and secondary education expense is bore by the government. And here is where have the specific issue with US: The specific issue with US is that under Truman, Federal government has been bleeding away assets and income. Much of the Federal assets over the years have been privatized and sold to the highest bidder, so by Reagans' time, both the shortage of income and pressure of cold war has forced US government to make cuts. And Reagan chose to axe the primary and secondary education funding for public schools. Hence why you got US school finishing the day at 2:15PM, where the Chinese are holding classes until 6:00PM. There is nothing mysterious about it, just one nation will to spend the money and have the administrative competence to come up with the money and low corruption so the money is used for education. If you can't do that, then you are getting out-competed.
The speaker should watch B1M about US nuclear power plant built out. There was a segment about it. One of the reason is the US had forgotten how to build them. US built so many of them a long long time ago and all those contractors are retired. US still lead in the numbers of nuclear plants.
Lost of knowledge & skill with new generation is a problem in West UK & US. Old generation pass on This is also in military ship building, other sectors.
10 years for the first one to be up and running🤣🤣🤣When you can't compete, you ban them. When you can't ban them, you TRY to find some money to build and to catch up in 10+ years.
America's Energy Option: Giant hamster wheels connected to electric motors that generate electricity from 10 million illegal immigrants running on the hamster wheels 😂😆🤣
this was a poor interview. first, the guest is not an expert on nuclear power so his opinion is only hearsay, second, the US doesnt have the human resources to build reactors. that is well document by many sources lately, third, fusion is not that close.
Actually, it is well known that the new Generation-IV reactor is much safer and more environmentally friendly than any gas or coal plant. China has spent decades of time and money on Generation-IV reactor research and even Generation-V research. They have achieved success not just through government control and pushing, but by educating the public about the new technology and its benefits. They hold seminars and exhibitions to introduce the safe use of nuclear technology. However, in the West, even educated engineers are still afraid of nuclear technology. Currently, China is the first country to operate a demonstration Generation-IV reactor (more than one power plant). These 27 (some reports say 34) new plants under construction are all with new tech. They also export small versions of nuclear plants to thire world.
Problem with us is that our energy system exist as regional privatized monopolies that value shareholder profit over anything else when it should be cohesive and operated as a public good. Everyone would be up in arms if all roads in America became toll and sold to the highest bidder, yet that is what we have with electricity.
But the very nature of a unified grid would require a big government to operate. US voters has been voting in smaller government and more privatization since the end of WWII and this is the result you get. The power industry actually hold out way longer than most of the Federal assets, but by 1990s (end of Cold War), they can't hold out any longer as well.
In China, the government has more control? What about France? They have a lot of nuclear plants considering their country size, and they're a western liberal democracy.
And the country that is deploying waaaaaay more solar capacity than anyone else is .... also China. So if they are deploying many times as much solar every year than the US but are ALSO building a bunch of nuclear plants, why would the US think it can rely just on solar in the future.
if you need it , build them! but not because china build it , so let's build it no matter we need it or not. just take care of your own issue, leave china alone.
As because I suspect that we’re too fixated on one problem that our federal government is spending taxpayer money on that is trying to keep one man out of the presidency. A lot of money is being spent for that self fixated on it too.
Tianwan Nuclear Power Plant full operation is expected to commence in 2027. Tianwan will be the world's largest nuclear power plant, with generation capacity exceeding 9,000 MWe and is the first instance of civilian nuclear cooperation between Russia and China.
China has already produced a modular design nuclear reactor which can be used in rural areas of developing countries. The modular design makes it easier, safer and cheaper to use nuclear energy to supply electricity at a cheaper price than other form of green energy. China is far ahead in fusion nuclear reactor as she is already able to produce and maintain a temperature of a million degrees Celsius in more than 100 sec continuously. The usa has a big challenge in competing against China in nuclear technology.
Agree. Note also an International organization named SIX types of 4th-Gen nuclear reactors. China is building all 6 types to determine which one is best under different environments.
Good point. That is the Chinese perspective too now. Without the competition/rivalry, China would not have built its own Space Station, its own GPS system, Energy tech, infrastructure, she simply had no choice but to push forward hard. It's an existential issue for China's ruling elite, modernise, compete or be soviet-unioned. Thanks US.
Actually, the Russians are currently the biggest exporter of nuclear power technology worldwide.. They export more nuclear plants than any one else today.. Russias Rosatom is so vital to the world that USA is not sanctioning it.. It still buys nuclear fuel from russia
Solar is always available, but the problem is energy storage. Unless we get more efficient battery tech, solar will always be sidelined over more reliable energy generation like nuclear and hydro
China has been outpacing the USA in various aspects, including the economy, technology, infrastructure, and soon, the military. The blame lies with Americans who elect politicians more focused on self-interest than the welfare of the country. A once-great nation is now beginning to decline.
He forgot one important point ---- that is how urgent power supply to a country. There are plenty of power supply available in US and energy cost is low relatively to income level. Not so in China. China are more in need of power supply. They need all different kinds of power, not just nuclear, but also renewable and coal, dirty or otherwise. That's why they invest a lot of money not just in nuclear, but also in renewable, and even new coal power plants. If there is a demand, there will be a way to fulfill the demand. In the flip side, if there is no new demand on power, there will not be any investment in power generation.
We need to stay away from NUCLEAR FISSION, and focus on NUCLEAR FUSION. Then, once we've stabilized our nuclear fusion processes to produce free energy without nuclear waste... we need to fund COLD FUSION studies (like the R&D that Google is working on right now). Cold fusion is the future, and hot fusion is the present. Nuclear fission is the past (hot fission).
Is it necessary to keep comparing with china all the time? population of china is 4-5 times larger...... Isn't it normal for china to get more power plants......
It is all about containment….. The sun uses the force of gravity to contain the fusion reaction and only energy in the form of radiation can escape the force of gravity. Whilst here on Earth the fusion reaction is contained by the magnetic force. The question must be how the energy from the fusion reaction is captured and released from the magnetic confinement. It seems an impossible task…..
@@korybleak8058 maybe there were referring to the nuclear island part specifically and not all the site prep work that happens before like for the Wyoming one.
China always takes the long term view. They have 5,10, 15 year plans whereas the U.S.is lucky just to have a 4 year plan, usually politically motivated. It is noteworthy that most of China's leaders have STEM degrees whereas the U.S. leaders just have law degrees. Hence leaders in China plan ahead. Consider the amount of engineering graduates. They have at least a 3 to 1 advantage. While we debate ad nauseam, they BUILD. Also their average time to build a reactor is 7 years and they're trying to lower that with SMRs. A key factor is their Education and how highly it is regarded. By the time a person graduates from high school, they're already 3-4 years ahead academically.
Just build your county, dont compare with China. It is for your own people, not for the Chinese! Focus on your own backyard, don't go around to tell everyone else what to do!
