While Trump Siezes Venezuelan Crude, The Global South Goes Nuclear
Interesting breakdown of nuclear power development in the Global South courtesy of Russia and China. It seems no one is interested in windmills and solar panels.
🚨☢️ Nuclear independence: Global South bypasses West with $115B+ deals
Global South nations are accelerating nuclear cooperation, deliberately bypassing traditional Western gatekeepers (NPT restrictions, NSG waivers, high-cost Western vendors).
$115B+ in nuclear deals—led by Russia (Rosatom) and China (CNNC) — is delivering clean baseload power, tech transfer, local manufacturing, and long-term fuel security.
Energy sovereignty is now becoming a South-South reality.
🇮🇳🇷🇺 India–Russia Kudankulam
▪️Over $30B, 6 GW mega-project in Tamil Nadu: Six Russian VVER-1000 reactors, with Units 1–2 already feeding the grid since 2013/16 and Units 3–6 under construction.
▪️Includes 70%+ % localisation and talks for Russian SMRs and floating reactors.
▪️Cornerstone of India’s 100 GW nuclear target by 2047.
🇧🇩 Bangladesh Rooppur NPP
▪️Russia builds two 1.2 GW VVER-1200 units ($12B Russian loan), India supplies equipment and training, China (CNNC) supplies turbines and instrumentation.
▪️First reactor scheduled for 2025—textbook Global South burden-sharing for a nation with zero prior nuclear experience.
🇪🇬 Egypt’s El Dabaa (4.8 GW)
▪️$25B Rosatom project with 85% Russian financing; four VVER-1200 reactors plus desalination plant.
▪️Fuel cycle training included - Egypt becomes North Africa’s nuclear hub.
🇵🇰🇨🇳 Pak–China Chashma + Karachi
▪️Four operational CNP-300s and two Hualong One (HPR-1000) reactors under construction (>3 GW total).
▪️Full financing, fuel, and training from Beijing —ensuring Pakistan’s energy and strategic depth.
📈 Emerging winners
🇹🇷 Turkey: Akkuyu 4.8 GW (Rosatom BOO model)
🇦🇷 Argentina: Atucha III 1.2 GW HPR-1000 (85% Chinese loan);
🇿🇦 South Africa: Russian uranium + joint fuel fabrication talks;
▪️$115B+ in reactor deals, zero NSG begging, zero technology denial.
▪️India localises 70 %, Bangladesh goes from zero to 2.4 GW in one decade;
Egypt gets desalination thrown in for free.
▪️Russia & China delivered 6 GW to Global South.
▪️These deals share commonality, connectivity and partnership: generous financing (80–100% loans at low interest), decades-long fuel supply guarantees, 60–80% local content mandates, and genuine technology transfer.
While the West debates climate goals, the Global South is simply building — reactor by reactor — its own energy-sufficient future.

Maine Center For Public Interest Reporting – Three Part Series: A CRITICAL LOOK AT MAINE’S WIND ACT
******** IF LINKS BELOW DON'T WORK, GOOGLE THEM*********
(excerpts) From Part 1 – On Maine’s Wind Law “Once the committee passed the wind energy bill on to the full House and Senate, lawmakers there didn’t even debate it. They passed it unanimously and with no discussion. House Majority Leader Hannah Pingree, a Democrat from North Haven, says legislators probably didn’t know how many turbines would be constructed in Maine if the law’s goals were met." . – Maine Center for Public Interest Reporting, August 2010 https://www.pinetreewatchdog.org/wind-power-bandwagon-hits-bumps-in-the-road-3/From Part 2 – On Wind and Oil Yet using wind energy doesn’t lower dependence on imported foreign oil. That’s because the majority of imported oil in Maine is used for heating and transportation. And switching our dependence from foreign oil to Maine-produced electricity isn’t likely to happen very soon, says Bartlett. “Right now, people can’t switch to electric cars and heating – if they did, we’d be in trouble.” So was one of the fundamental premises of the task force false, or at least misleading?" https://www.pinetreewatchdog.org/wind-swept-task-force-set-the-rules/From Part 3 – On Wind-Required New Transmission Lines Finally, the building of enormous, high-voltage transmission lines that the regional electricity system operator says are required to move substantial amounts of wind power to markets south of Maine was never even discussed by the task force – an omission that Mills said will come to haunt the state.“If you try to put 2,500 or 3,000 megawatts in northern or eastern Maine – oh, my god, try to build the transmission!” said Mills. “It’s not just the towers, it’s the lines – that’s when I begin to think that the goal is a little farfetched.” https://www.pinetreewatchdog.org/flaws-in-bill-like-skating-with-dull-skates/

Sign up today and lend your voice and presence to the steadily rising tide that will soon sweep the scourge of useless and wretched turbines from our beloved Maine countryside. For many of us, our little pieces of paradise have been hard won. Did the carpetbaggers think they could simply steal them from us?
We have the facts on our side. We have the truth on our side. All we need now is YOU.
