WE GOT IT WRONG A lot of people like to ask me why I changed my mind on China. The short answer is: I was tired of getting it wrong. What did I (and many other analysts) get wrong on China? Here is a partial list:

INFRASTRUCTURE IS GORGES You are looking at the 1.4GW Songyang Pumped Storage Power Station, a key energy project of China’s 14th Five-Year Plan. At 637 meters deep, the shafts of this pumped hydro project is taller than the Shanghai tower, embedded vertically into the mountain.

How is Australia...basically a resource depot with marsupials...going to China hat-in-hand to beg for fuel? Turns out just because you export energy does not mean you are protected from shortages in a resource-constrained world. elementalenergy.substack.com/p/dont-be-au...

As the Strait of Hormuz crisis unfurls, more and more countries are going to find out the answer to the question: did you have a serious energy policy?

I’ve ignored the “Abolish the NRC” bros before but I think with so many institutions in America under attack we have to now Nuclear regulation is necessary for reactors at any size, and how the NRC’s legal challengers actually prove they need oversight! elementalenergy.substack.com/p/nuclear-wa...

CHINESE MANUFACTURERS STRIKE BACK: Trump’s tariffs have apparently caused factories to flood TikTok with ads like this: Would be funny if instead of bringing American manufacturing home the Trump tariffs end up incentivizing consumers to buy products direct from China.

Trump’s true sin is not that he fooled the American people into thinking he’s a great dealmaker, but that he believed it himself.

I’m really glad I’m not in the states right now. MAGA slop accounts are starting to share Ghiblified memes about bombing the Three Gorges Dam. When the Sinophobia starts to rage I don’t think it’s gonna matter that I’m “Taiwanese not Chinese.”

Not one. Not two, but over 10,000 Taiwanese families where one parent originally Chinese are about to be torn apart for the most asinine reason. “Chinese spouses” need to prove they’ve relinquished their Chinese household registrations. In many cases they did this decades ago, lost the paperwork.

If you love nuclear, you must know nuclear. If you know nuclear, you must respect nuclear. A new generation of nuclear enthusiasts have forgotten the lessons of the past. They have become cavalier. Nuclear energy is only safe when you respect its hazards.

2 things I believe: if you make it appreciate art of true quality, it doesn’t make any difference if you are alone. You have become more human. But conversely: if a bunch of humans come together to appreciate a piece of art, even if it sucks an have zero merit, they have also become more human.

Today I discovered that there are ppl in the US who think the terracotta soldiers are fake, just like there are ppl in China who think Ancient Greek civilization is fake. I believe they are actually the same type-of-guy. And that’s beautiful.

The WH tweets a video demanding to sell beef to Australia. 🤦‍♀️ First of all, the US actually have a trade SURPLUS with Australia. Doesn’t matter:10% tariff for you! Secondly, the US can’t even satisfy domestic production for beef. Breaking the world economy to sell Australians beef we don’t have

Tariffs? I’ve got a story about tariffs. The year was 1986. Taiwan’s economy was booming and when the first made-in-Taiwan car, the Yulon came out, ppl were ecstatic! Unf, it wasn’t a great car. Ok…seems like the move to do some tariffs to give the Local Champion a chance to catch up. (1/3)

So here where I think we got really unlucky. Trump had 4 years OUT of office to think. And stew. And find new minions. He knew the levers of power and he had 4 whole years to figure out just how to jailbreak all the failsafes. In comparison a consecutive 2nd term would have been more normal.

Actually military and energy experts agree: in an invasion scenario nuclear power would be a great asset for Taiwan and LNG its greatest liability. Even President Lai said in an emergency he would bring nuclear back. Are we close enough to an emergency now?

Rare cross-straits solidarity breaking out over the Trump tariffs. Taiwan raised the white flag while China retaliated. “This is when I admire China” “You gotta say, good one, Xi.” “Although I hate the CCP, when it comes to this, I gotta say it feels good to see them strike back.”

Color me unimpressed about the “invasion barges”. Those things are sitting ducks unless the Chinese already achieved not only air superiority but cleared surrounding forests of HIMARS. If that all happens, Taiwan is cooked anyhow.

NEW ELEMENTAL: Estonia and two other Baltic countries (Latvia and Lithuania) finally broke away from the Russian grid this weekend and joined the EU grid. But now more than ever, they need to figure out their energy independence. Could nuclear be a part of the answer? t.co/QCtmGswMKq
