That’s because they needed to basically reinvent the Westinghouse reactor because of technology ban. As a result they also progressed with own reactor technology. Ex china move towards SMR with cooperation with Russia.

As of 2024, only China and Russia have successfully built operational SMRs https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Small_modular_reactor

And they plan to finish Thorium reactor this year that will revolutionize amount of waste and reactor location problems. https://min.news/en/science/28ee0f79aafe4d7a2deb675f4f1b1620.html

It’s just faster to add another solar panel to existing infrastructure than build a nuclear reactor. Nuclear reactor is 10 years investment so in current news and statistics you won’t see it. But you can see how fast coal power plants are growing in China because coal power plants are easier than nuclear. Nuclear power is not short time investment but long term commitment that is lacking in current governments policies. Current gov officials are no different than instagram celebrities so they seek cheap methods to stay in power. That’s why world is collapsing, because of expotential need of power source and expotential lack of delivery of so. Look at how many nuclear power plants China have in plans or started building and how many of them rest of world combined have.

Beautiful, should add more countries and some economic indicator to show how stop of nuclear energy growth stopped economy growth.

It’s a classic God complex. Whoever thinks that can create something better than human can as well call himself a God. That’s bullshit.

that’s just inflation, the schema is the same, before them there were Adam Neumann, Travis Kalanick, they exploit people and environment for their own ego.

It’s easier and cheaper to just use parrots to replace execs.
