What are your thoughts on Peter Thiel's perspective on nuclear energy, and how do you think it aligns or conflicts with current global energy strategies?
The last sentence is the answer here. There is nothing stopping ANY country from building nuclear power plants. If Bangladesh or some place in Palestine wanted to build nuclear power plants, they could. The real reason that few people build them has to do with incentives. This is why some countries are building them like crazy like Sweden, France and Finland (have the most Nuclear energy use, per capita) and other countries (who have plenty of oil access) don't. The cost of entry is so high that the return on investment takes forever so deep pockets and a very long term ROI pushes nuclear away from commercial and towards government investment. Companies like Copenhagen Atomics are trying to solve this problem by making small scale and safe power plants. If they (or any similar company) are successful, this is a global game changer...akin to electricity itself.
Wrong. US did not transfer any nuclear reactor technology to India before India made a bomb. All it's tech was indigenously developed by Indian physicists led by Homi Jehangir Bhabha.
If you have a gun and everyone else has knives, why would you give them guns? 💪 It’s such a double standard, and is awesome if you are on team gun and 💩 if you on team knife.
The nuclear tech was indigenously developed in India, however it may not be the case with US, there a surprising western narrative that everything India owns is given by West. Suggested read: The crest of peacock
