in 10 years china isn't going to fucking need oil imports lmao they'll be like at least 60-70% solar/wind/hydro powered, and Xinjiang still has a shitload of oil

in 10 years they will probably have thorium and even fusion reactors covering that last 30% and be starting construction on an orbital solar array

[–] FlakesBongler@hexbear.net 24 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

The government pays Elon Musk to sabotage the array and all it does is just end up dropping orbital garbage across the Lower 48

add this to the lathe: somehow he knocks out half his entire constellation of satellites as well by insisting on personally calculating (asking grok) the orbital rendezvous maneuver because hes such a junus

Don't they already have energy positive thorium reactors? I thought there was a shipping vessel that runs on thorium as proof of concept

I think they have working prototype reactors but that’s about it for now. They have plans to build some pilot plants and hopefully if things go well they’ll expand from there.

In ten years China will be fighting a protracted war against Nato and the west because the latter are not going to just sit there

Inshallah, in 10 years the US won't exist.
