China Begins Building First Thorium Reactor

The Chinese are building the first thorium reactor. Thorium reactors are safer than conventional nuclear reactors and they don't have the risk of being used to produce weapons of mass destruction. China plans to sell these reactors to become the world leader in energy production.

Wouldn't it be great if the west invested in new technology like this instead of babysitting niggers?

I wish energy would become more scarce so people would turn their lights out at night. People here like to build their houses on a hilltop where everyone has to see them and light them up like refineries all night long. IDK why. I like to see the stars.

Everyone knows how to make current gen Nuclear reactors and yet still most of China burns coal to stay powered. Chinese built thorium reactors will fall apart like anything else they build. Our current fusion reactors are only dangerous in the hands of incompetent idiots, and frankly it's good that we can use our depleted uranium to obliterate towelheads.

I'm more interested in small-scale fusion reactors to sort of decentralize power and eliminate the need for miles of unattended powerlines cutting through nature. Any nation that deploys SMRs has a grid much more resilient to nuclear or stellar attacks.

Ikr, but people still make fun of white women.

China's engineering is getting better every year. They don't need to have the best engineers in the world to beat the west. They just need to have better engineers than the diversity hires.

Plus they probably send their worst engineers to work here as diversity hires, so we’re really getting the worst of both worlds.

And yet there's not a single thing China builds domestically that doesn't fall apart.

Tell us, what construction project or feat of engineering has China made for themselves that hasn't been a total flop?

Ship building. The US is a joke in comparison.

EVs with sodium ion batteries.

China's boats do fall apart for the same reasons their highrises do. Chinese ethics underdeliver on steel quality and workmanship. Plus, China is hellbent on scraping every last plankton of life from the pacific, shipping literal garbage to other countries by the hourly megaton, and exporting 10,000,000 people annually with these boats. The US may have fewer boats but that's because it's not actively engaging in world destruction through seafaring antics.

Alright, a battery technology with 0% Chinese engineering, put in to a notoriously faulty and unsafe Chinese EV of which the Li-Ion fires were only one of several risks.

I haven't seen anything to suggest chink ships tend to fail more than western ones. But even if that was the case, the gap is so astronomically large that anything you can say about it is just reaching.

US ship building has been in a crisis for some years now. It's not a matter of wanting to. They literally can't.

I know the US is still ahead. But I also know it's mostly because it had a head start. The gap is closing every year.

What I meant to say, is that the US is still ahead in a general sense. Outside of shipbuilding and some other stuff.
