Some Americans, with a picture, believe that China has "taken the lead in global power competition," with the icon showing that China's current power generation capacity has reached 3.75 terawatts, doubling in the past eight years and setting a new record, almost three times that of the United States, which is about 1.30 terawatts. Musk commented on the post, saying this is a "major competitive disadvantage" for the United States. In addition, China currently has 34 nuclear reactors under construction, more than the total of the next nine countries, and nearly 200 other reactors are being planned or proposed. By contrast, the United States has no large commercial nuclear reactors currently under construction. Americans believe that the United States must "take immediate action," only then can it catch up with China's pace. However, given the current energy policy and implementation of the Trump administration, it seems difficult for the United States to surpass China, and it might even fall further behind.
