God you don’t pay any attention to states and it’s honestly annoying because you wouldn’t say stupid shit like the US has stagnated in production of electricity. That’s such a terrible take because it’s just not true. We are producing more electricity it might be straining the grid but we are turning on power demand as needed. Otherwise Texas and the PJM wouldn’t be setting new demand records year over year.
Maybe read and google before you type. The US still has some of the cheapest power in the world and yes it’s gone up and people are pissed but that’s what happens when your electricity goes from dirt cheap to cheap.
The US has some of the most stringent environmental policies out there. China is rapidly poisoning their population with the growing number of cancer cities with heavy metal levels that the US can’t even touch. Our plants are not dangerous what are you even talking about? That’s some of the most absurd stuff you have said.
You know why China builds those dams? Because of failed environmental policy that ends up biting them in the end. It’s not even certain that that dam will be able to work like they think. Remember when China was blowing up dams because 3 gorges almost was toppled? You never see that in the US.
The chart is something no one would ever use 😂 why not throw up one that shows France leading the world in nuclear power generation because I mean they do their power mix is heavily heavily nuclear but that doesn’t mean they are good at building it or that it solves their energy needs.
You understand with the exception of Intel the companies the US took stakes in are companies where China has shown time and time again they don’t want free trade. Thus the US keeps the companies upright during their ramp ups.
Either way they may lack the rare earths supply and electricity generation capacity to be competitive with China.
China won the trade war and controls the supply chains and generates a shit ton of electricity with future surpluses projected while USA stumbles along on fossil fuel dependence and stagnant production of electricity.
It costs 6X as much to build new nuclear generation in USA as it does in China.
Having plenty of low cost electricity is key to Chinas competitive advantage in manufacturing and the post industrial economy.
Chinese have grown their electricity generation capacity at an exponential rate.
USA has not and cannot.
China have since the early 2000s adopted a massive and hugely successful strategy of energy efficiency which means they build the LEDs in the lighting in your office space.
They lead the world in nuclear power generation by a huge margin.
USA is the most inefficient wasteful user of energy on the planet...squandering resources and wrecking the climate in the process.
USA has failed to move its energy policy into the 20th century and remains hugely reliant upon out dated and dirty fossil fuels.
China are building a new hydro power plant that is three times bigger than the three gorges.
USA is forced to keep running old outdated and dangerous plants because its industrial capacity to build new electricity generation at competitive rates is so terribly degraded by decades of decadent neoliberal selling out of its industrial base.
Chinas rapid electricity power generation development and capacity highlights the advantages of the Chinese state capitalism model- a model that identifies and develops strategic capacity in areas where there is significant potential for economic growth.
Capital and resources are directed into these areas resulting significant results.
These 'terrible' charts show how far behind the US military industrial complex is in terms of major and significant factors such as the ability to generate electricity which is the fuel of the post industrial economy.
Chinese consumers and businesses pay less than half for electricity giving Chinese manufacturers a huge strategic advantage in global trade.
These terrible facts conflict with your faith in the merits of the USA and its military industrial based global hegemony. Tough. Time to face reality Uncle Sam.
Trump acknowledges Chinas success by himself increasingly adopting state capitalism.
Scary stuff.
China is already well in advance with robotics.
Now it appears they are also in advance with these biological electronics hybrids which are hugely more efficient in terms of energy use and can actually sense and respond to the real world.
China is adopting a different strategy to the west and it looks to have greater potential.
IIRC there’s already a company that sells computer time to self organizing organoids, forget the name
I'd guess we get adaptive LLMs faster than we figure out how to protect organoids from the environment.
You understand that China has a population much much higher so they have to produce more electricity right? When you have 4 times the population plus you manufacture crap for the world you have to produce stupid amounts of power.
The US doesnt have to produce near as much because of that.
You should look at something that would actually represent something. Per capita generation. These are terrible charts that serve no purpose besides propaganda and shock and awe. The US is deploying energy assets at incredible levels now and are no longer retiring all the only stuff just because.
