As far as India is concerned, miniaturized nuclear reactors are a new norm for powering their SSBNs and aircraft carriers.

Yes. Ignoring externalities for short term gains as well as perceived pride and prestige.

It has more to do with survival than pride and prestige.

But for now, nuclear reactor is the best source of energy for large sea vessels.

Banned here.

Thankfully not in America. Our subs and our aircraft carriers can roam the seas for years at a time without refuel.

As of today, there is nothing more efficient than nuclear reactors when it comes to powering large sea vessels.

Interestingly enough, this new sub that the US just built (the one on the documentary) has brand new technology that allows it to never have to be refueled, the core will last the life of the sub (figured to be about 35 years).

Most reactors prior to this had to have long shipyard periods to refuel the reactor every 2 to 5 years.

Wow! Indian's technology is on the rise!

Actually, India didn't develop the technology that is used to make the boat, they are just the ones that are smart enough to avail themselves of it.

Your statement is inaccurate. India is among one of the handful countries that lead in the field of solar panel manufacturing.

Here is the website of TATA Power Solar, the largest solar panel manufacturer in India.

Vietnam is welcome to contact this Indian company; they will help Vietnam with its solar panel needs:

Thank you for the correction. I was under the impression that solar technology was developed in America originally, and India was simply taking advantage of the research to build their stuff.

But without calling here.

There is no point in taking externalities into account.
