So the article mentions NuScale, which are planning to build a couple of test reactors in 2030, but fails to mention Rosatom modular reactors which are decades

So the article mentions NuScale, which are planning to build a couple of test reactors in 2030, but fails to mention Rosatom modular reactors which are decades ahead and ready to go. Well, it's that same thing the US did with 5G. When Europe, Australia and most of the world was ready to build their 5G infrastructure, the U.S. cooked up some lies about some subsidiary of Huawei having some business deal with some company related to North Korea and sanctioned Huawei. How long until the world says enough is enough?

Yeah, that is not a very thorough analysis of the situation. China's control of other countries communications infrastructure is a global concern as their footprint has expanded through commercial enterprise to match the US military footprint. You don't have to like the US, but unless you're Han Chinese, that isn't a good system for you.

  > China's control of other countries communications infrastructure is a global concern Except globally everybody wanted to use Huawei, until the US cooked up the lie and threatened everyone against it. Australia had a soft regime change because of this issue. You're fooling nobody.

  Nothing... as opposed to the large sum of money NuScale must have spent to get this article on the economist: http://www.paulgraham.com/submarine.html http://www.paulgraham.com/submarine.html

    You understand that given current geopolitics that a Russian Nuke company is a complete non option for most of the world right?

      If you are discussing technological progress, there is absolutely no reason to not discuss the industry leaders regardless of their political standing at the time... unless of course you have no intention to write about the technology itself... you're merely using that plot as a guise to sneak in a promotion for one specific company which is a decade behind a company actually ready to roll out today. > a complete non option for most of the world right? India and China are perfectly happy to... and parts of middle east and some of Africa. That's almost half of the world population. What is "most of the world" to you?
