Why bring this up? 賴清德Lai Ching-te is way out of line here with this argument as he is asking a question that allows China to come in with an answer. Lai is removing space from the debate. - Hard to see how US can't see this as a form of provocation of Xi.

I love this tweet. The correlations remain the same. Every month. Unless you are blessed with obscene amounts of hydro or geothermal, no one is deeply decarbonised without nuclear. 🇸🇪, top of the pops this month, has a pickle blend of wind, hydro and nuclear. In other

THE OVERLOOKED SULTAN: Bayezid II, who ruled the Ottoman Empire between 1481 and 1512 doesn’t generally get a lot of ink. He’s kinda lost between his father, Mehmed II (the Conquerer) and his son Selim I (the Grim…doubled Ottoman land in his short reign) and his grandson

They are not done. Now that Barakah has proven it is a success the UAE will build more reactors on a different site.

So what if land reform worked, but not for the reason we thought? The “land to the tiller” program championed by American economists broke up Japanese-era estates (including a lot of large farms owned by local Taiwanese elites) and split that land to the tenant farmers. In “How

AHHHH the FOMO is real! Wish I were there #nuclearsympo

Lol. Sorry Andrew you must have caught me in a snippy mood. Unblocked and let’s talk about your objection. I’m happy to explain to say that not just any old material gets used in nuclear power plants. Suppliers needs to be “nuclear certified” and it’s quite a rigorous process.

Wow! What a creative font, inspired by the temple carvings in temples. Making a font for an alphabet based language is much less of an undertaking than for a language with thousands of characters and relatively small user base (traditional characters) This makes me respect

Here at #NuclearSympo in London, the discussion has shifted from supplying power for #hydrogen productiin to supplying power for #AI datacenters. They are (imo) more dependent on reliable #energy supply, and perhaps more capable of paying for that. And they are also more urgent.

Well they got him folks! Ko Wen-je is detained for suspicions of “scheming to profit” （圖利）as developers stood to profit from a redevelopment project. No new evidence. Just a new judge who thought differently from the old judge. “Scheming to profit” is not a crime in most

Insane graphic! India was poorer than sub-Saharan Africa as late as 2000😳 It’s on a rapidly improving trajectory.

One thing Ko IS 100% guilty of is getting hoisted on his own petard. While he was running for Taipei city mayor he casually tossed charges of corruption that were baseless and irresponsible towards KMT then-Taipei Mayor Hau Long-bin. “He’s using his stupidity to cover up his

BRAVO to Nigel P. Daly for an extremely tightly argued piece in the Taipei Times : If Taiwan wants to go for gold in the AI Olympics, we simply can’t give up our atomic advantage. “Let’s reframe the problem in terms of the Olympics. Given Taiwan’s OEM (original equipment

Aaaaaaand here comes Unit 4! Congratulations to Team 🇰🇷, Team 🇦🇪 and yes all of us because when low-carbon nuclear comes online, everybody on this planet is a winner!

Mascots on parade on the Taipei MRT!

Prior to Murad IV, (ruling 1623-1640) alcohol was tolerated in the Ottoman Empire despite being Islamic. Murad IV would go as far as going incognito to find people breaking the ban and executing them on the spot. Ironically, it’s widely believed that he heavily indulged himself
