China has so many power plants uh that
have been built and are being built. I I
I don't think people quite realize this.
So, I posted on my ex account just the
the graph of of US power generation
versus China power generation. And China
power generation is like looks like a
rocket going to orbit and US power
generation is flat, right? So, I think
by the end of this year, China will have
about two and a half times the power

emphasize that the the sheer number of
smart talented people in uh in China who
work very hard is amazing. Uh the amount
of the just the
sheer quantity of talent. Um I'm I mean
I'm an admirer of of of China's
capabilities. I think I think most
