      Good. There needs to be a whole lot of “US disappointment” going forward.

      Why would we trust the US with a massive project like this?

      >The Trump administration last month signed an $80bn (£61bn) deal with Westinghouse, which had been struggling financially, to build several of the same larger reactors proposed at Wylfa. Under the terms of that deal, the Trump administration could end up taking a stake in the company.

      No thanks.

    3. Trump likes shrieking about ‘national security’ for his decision making. The UK should simply say the same and tell Westinghouse to jog on before they go bankrupt (again).

      People keep missing the major point in all this: No one’s actually made a working SMR yet. And several companies that got huge US subsidies to do so went out of business when it came out that they couldn’t make them without drastically jacking up the individual price by something like 60%.

      UK prefers UK company over US company to build a part of UK energy infrastructure.. Too radical for the US?

    6. TIL Reddit or our r/Europe moderation team doesn’t like archiving services, not even from the good ol’wayback machine, and automoderates the comments to oblivion when we try to use them to bypass paywalls or cookie tracking schemes. Shame!

      Canada has started construction of a group of 3 small modular reactors in the province of Ontario. They have their own nuclear technology and I found this in an article in the Canadian press:

      >Officials told reporters that roughly 80 per cent of the SMR project spending will go to Ontario companies, another 15 per cent to European and Asian firms, and just five per cent to companies in the U.S., primarily for GE Hitachi’s design and development of the power plant model. Construction permits have already been granted and site work commenced.

      I think everyone wants to work on this tech although I wonder if fusion will eventually supplant it.

      He thinks he can tarif the world, but he’s tariffing the U.S. really and proving how unrealiable the U.S. is as a trade partner.

      Short term he can win, but long term, every country will find new reliable partners eventually and not risk any business dealings than can have tariffs at levels never seen before, and changing wether someone made him big sad

      Well this is interesting. Canada is building SMRs a stones throw from the US and they haven’t said squat. Why bitch about the UK across an ocean? The Trump admin is run by complete morons who have no clue how this planet operates.

      Good, and the US can shove that disappointment up its arse. After all it said it wanted us to be less dependant on them, this is what it looks like. Hope we patent the fuck out off it so hard the US has to pay or beg for it.

      hahaha nothing says sloppy like ameican manufacturing, good choice to keep it all British

      There might be no way around disappointing the disappointers.
