The US and global economies are at a turning point. After a few years of the Biden administration going big on an “all-of-the-above” approach to the technologies that could be used for the energy transition, the second Trump administration has taken more of a “picking-winners-and-losers” approach, with nuclear in the former category and solar in the latter. But the rest of the world is not standing still, with countries like China continuing to leap ahead on a wide range of decarbonizing technologies.
You flipflop between pro and anti nuclear, dont have standard construction methods nor designs, ship out labor or don’t train new workers at all, lower investment, and don’t plan for the future. Wow, costs are up! What a surprise!
Meanwhile China has a clear plan to act upon that goes decades into the future. Of course the costs will fall and construction times will speed up.
That this is a mystery to politicians and stakeholders baffles me.
