When it comes to new energy, the first thing that comes to mind for many is new energy vehicles. Western countries, especially the United States, want to suppress the development of our new energy industry, and they are also targeting our electric vehicles.

But now, Western countries and traditional energy giants are all at a loss, as China's grand gesture has made them realize that new energy is not just about electric vehicles.

Recently, the higher-ups approved five nuclear power projects, including the first phase of the Xuwei project in Jiangsu, with a total of 11 units and a total investment exceeding 200 billion yuan.

Now, every move China makes makes traditional energy giants in Europe and America tremble with fear, and even makes the Jewish financial consortium in the United States uneasy.

Why do we say this?

Many people worry about the safety of nuclear power. Due to accidents such as the Chernobyl nuclear power plant in 1968 and the Fukushima nuclear power plant in 2011, many people have a fear of nuclear energy and avoid it as much as possible.

However, nuclear power technology has been advancing. The five nuclear power plants we approved this time use internationally recognized fourth-generation advanced nuclear power technology. Therefore, there is no need to worry about safety, and we can ensure 100% safety of the nuclear power plant.

For a long time, the proportion of nuclear power in China has been too low, and adjusting the power source structure to be diversified has become an inevitable choice for our country.

Last year, in our country's electricity consumption, coal-fired power generation accounted for as high as 61%, natural gas accounted for 3%, and the share of low-carbon energy was only 35.2%.

Among low-carbon energy, hydropower accounts for 13%, wind power accounts for 10%, solar power accounts for 6%, and nuclear energy only accounts for 4.6%, far below the global average of 10%.If we increase the proportion of nuclear power, we can reduce our dependence on natural gas and oil, which is of great significance.

One of the foundations of the US dollar is the settlement of commodities, the greater the global dependence on oil, the more stable the foundation of the US dollar. But on the contrary, if we blaze a new trail in new energy and reduce our dependence on traditional energy, the US dollar may become rootless.

Now our country has solved the problem of ultra-high voltage power transmission, and now we can transmit electricity to a distance of 5000 kilometers. So the nuclear power in the east can be transmitted to the central and southern parts, and the wind power in the west can also be transmitted to the east.

In the future, we can also transmit electricity to East Asia, Southeast Asia, and South Asia, perhaps this is what the United States is really worried about. The more developed the new energy industry, the lower the dependence on oil, and the closer the end of the US dollar.
