  • India is a world leader when countries are ranked by population. It’s time will come, as the middle class grows and imports from other nations increase, but that is not happening in the next 5 years in my opinion.

    India’s inability to remove the caste system leads IMHO to an equivalent of middle eastern country’s inability to allow women a meaningful place in their society, and is a massive hindrance to reaching its potential socially and economically.

    On the positive side, absolutely has the best cuisine in the world







  • I understand this to mean: “there are no suppliers for some parts outside of China” rather than “my margins are affected, waaawaa”

    Like try and buy clay that hasn’t been processed at some point through China, or any piece of machinery that doesn’t have a component inside which originates in China. Hell, even try go 24 hours without using a Chinese product.

    This is why many countries are looking at re-implimenting protectionism, because we have reached a situation of non-control, regardless of domestic wants.

    I don’t think I agree with their (Siemens Energy’s) stance, without a Long term solution to change the issue, but I understand it’s place in the grand scheme.

    It appears to be a widely quoted official figure and have no insight on if it is realistic. I am also aware that this does not consider the considerable environmental impact of the disaster, nor the economic cost to clean up the mess.

    My comment was more relating to the facts about the current state of renewables.

    The 2 options this comments OP provides at the end are what I mostly agree on, where we either go 0 carbon now and accept nuclear (with its flaws) as base load, or continue with carbon intensive tech as base load and continue to build out renewables on top.
