There's truly something for western politicians to learn from this
Also: China’s construction of new coal-power plants ‘reached 10-year high’ in 2024
It doesn't seem like this "AI expert" knows a lot about anything. Perhaps he is too high on his own supply, getting all his knowledge from hallucinating chatbots.
Hmm that is alarming then. To be honest I didn't read the complete article, which you linked, but on first glance paints a very different picture.
this is the most vapid post in a thread of vapid posts. Congrats
Their solar is reaching a 10 year high and there's even talks about more nuclear reactors
That's the advantage of government ownership of all land: Fuck the NIMBYs
You are acting like they are regressing
They aren't, and their infrastructure that we spent 2 decades laughing about, ghost cities and 12 lane highways
They are poised for the greatest economic boom in human history, and WE could have had it if crony capitalism hadn't shuffled 95% of all gains in the last 50 years to the pockets of the ultra wealthy
I don't think the GOP is racing to build coal plants. They just use coal as a political tool to win votes. And when they win, the idiots that think Republicans are going to save their coal jobs get what they deserved.
That we should build more coal plants to ´win´ the AI race?
If we lose the AI race it is likely the end of us as a nation economically, so either we make more coal plants or collapse.
None of you really understand exponential growth, this is a fact of human biology.
