Solar and nuclear operates differently. Desert area is good for solar since the real estate is cheaper and there is less cloud cover. Solar is also more passive generation than nuclear, which require constant work from human workers, hence solar also requires less support infrastructure.

Fission plants require a stable and steady source of water. It also require support infrastructures for workers and their families. As a result, it is generally not a good idea to put them to water-poor regions, let alone deserts.

Good. Though I kinda expect Liaoning, especially the Liao river plateau region to host new nuclear reactors soon, as the region is pretty water rich, almost no seismic activity and has high power demand.

Argh...it is way too early in the morning for me to form a rational discussion, but concentrating your resource on one giant company is a bad idea. Companies come and go and if your economy is tied into the company, a private company, like that, then you got serious problem when international...

ASEAN is not a country. It is a collection of individual, sovereign countries with their own unique needs. Just because some of the nations in Southeast Asia is not getting what they wanted, it doesn't mean ASEAN is losing its way.

It's not just the Chinese. Yes, if you look hard enough on the internet, there are all sorts of information available that can lead to sensitive material. Good material to read is open-source intelligence: Open-source intelligence - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia In fact, vast majority of...

There is zero reason for Jiang Zemin to know what happened to a single person throwing a tantrum. Does Obama know what happened to each of the occupied wall street protesters? Of course not. They are not exact person of significance.

Because it is a refutation of the misguided belief that these color revolutions or "democratic" reforms is actually good anyone. From national security point of view, your competitors throwing itself to chaos and decline is good, but some of the ordinary citizens actually believed that it is...

Yeah and India's record is so good: http://www.nytimes.com/aponline/2015/04/18/world/asia/ap-as-kashmir-protest.html?_r=0 Like I said, considering how USSR, Ukraine and varies nations who underwent "democratic reforms" did in the past few decades, China made the exact right response at the...

American rising is combination of several factors. Geography is perhaps the most important factor where the protection of ocean allowed America to stay away from the colonial era conflict. The massacre of the natives and enslavement of the minorities also created a twisted sort of unity which...

Yeah...martyr, after USSR, Iraq, Afghanistan, Ukraine as well as stuff like creating ISIS, we are in such a hurry to embrace your idea of democracy. :crazy: You know what we can also look up on internet? The march of bonus army:

Stealth, maneuverability, avionics and data integration.

I have been listening to conservative talks radio in US. The US presidential election is really all about opinion. Opinion on economy, opinion on religion, opinion on foreign relationship, etc, but at the end of the day, the thing that makes me the most uncomfortable is that for all the talk...

It is more than that. JF-17 is actually the "right" plane for countries like Pakistan or India. While fifth gen planes such as J-20 or F-22 are very nice, they also cost enormous amount of resource. Remember, a plane's initial cost is actually a rather small part of its overall cost. The...

That's the beauty of mass media manipulation. You never outright lies, because that will just get you caught and destroy your credibility. What media does is implications and half truths. For example, if you see this: Where would you predict the x3 point will be? The answer is that you don't...

Wait, you can get a modern patrol boat with USD1.7 million? Because the 47 feet (14 meter) Motor Lifeboat used by US coast guard cost about USD1.2 million. 47-foot Motor Lifeboat - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia So 1.7 million USD will buy you 1.5 of a 14 meter motor boat, though considering...

I won't speculate over the rest of crazy man's talk, it basically boiled down to this "election good, you go vote, food and money magically appears". However, I am a bit puzzled regarding to a few particular piece of data: 1. Inflation rate of China: Considering that any first year economics...

Anyone up to tally the total worth of these companies involved? I suspect it will probably be bigger than quite a few country's GDP.

I think you are right. I got the middle and total water distribution mixed up. I wonder how is the west section doing. A few years ago I was told it had physical constrains, I wonder if it is solved now.

Shandong is actually getting the majority of the water, considering it has agriculture irrigation needs. Getting water to Beijing is a nice bonus and the the situation will be even better after the Beijing's restructuring to the surrounding area.
