- WalterGR 4y agoWhat's Alec Stapp's background in nuclear energy? Here's the 2021 Bloomberg article that he screenshotted: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/features/2021-11-02/china-climate-goals-hinge-on-440-billion-nuclear-power-plan-to-rival-u-s https://www.bloomberg.com/news/features/2021-11-02/china-cli...

- ggm 4y agoMy personal take on "what china does" is that the only numbers you can rely on appear in the 5/13 year planning. Anyone who puts a figure on the table which wasn't agreed to in a plenary, is going to face the reality that only the plenary commitments count. IPv6 (for instance) was made a plenary commitment. I think that is what really drove the Chinese internet industry to do deployment, no amount of non-directed economic rationalisations got them there. Failing to meet the five year plan is a big boo-boo. If the nukes are in the plan, then they're going to break ground. If not, "it depends"
