Chapter 459 (1/2)
As soon as the new year's welfare of 1000 kilowatt hours per person comes out, some people can't sit still. ”How can I join the Prometheus energy network?”
”It's very simple. We just need to log on the Atlantis official website to write an Internet application, and our engineering team will start laying the cross sea cable from Atlantis island to the designated countries for free. The total construction period of any place in the world will not exceed one month.
All registered citizens can enjoy the energy services provided by Atlantis as long as the cables are connected to the national main grid! ” Chu Xiaoxiao replied.
”Hiss!” There was another puff.
Within a month, the global free internet connection has really scared many people.
”What about energy costs?” Another asked.
”The unlimited currency pricing mode is still adopted. Users who exceed the per capita free quota will be charged an energy use fee of 1 point unlimited currency for 50000 kwh!”
Can you buy 50, 000 kilowatt hours of energy? What's the difference between this and a free gift? They were too scared to breathe in.
The face of Saudi prime minister is already in despair, and a number of energy stakeholders are also in distress.
If the other side is fighting a price war, even if the current energy price is reduced by 10 times, they are confident that they can use their huge resources and influence to fight a long-term war with the other party and force them to give up part of their interests.
But they obviously misestimated the cost line of Prometheus, because it was almost zero cost!
Now this kind of situation, just look around the people's red eyes and thick neck appearance to know, playing some small hand is no use at all.
Other people use almost free energy supply, but they are paying high electricity bills. I'm afraid even American voters won't agree?
”I object! You are engaged in monopoly dumping, which is a serious violation of the international anti-monopoly law! ” The energy minister of the United States saw that the event was not good and quickly stood up to express his opposition.
Chu Xiaoxiao looked at him with a trace of pity in his eyes. ”Mr. Minister, I'm talking to you about the development of human civilization, but you're talking about monopoly?”
The tone and eyes showed a complete chain of disdain for the energy minister's intelligence, emotional intelligence, vision and even moral standards
Ignoring the dark faced Minister of energy, Chu Xiaoxiao waved her hand slightly, and a chart appeared in front of everyone.
”According to statistical data, fossil energy represented by oil, natural gas and coal accounts for more than 85% of the world's primary energy consumption, while nuclear energy and renewable energy account for a relatively small proportion.
Even with the rapid development of science and technology on the earth, this energy structure can not be changed in the short term Speaking of this, Chu Xiaoxiao pauses a little and glances at several countries headed by the United States, which makes their faces slightly unnatural.
Atlantis's intelligence network is almost everywhere. Naturally, she knows that the energy system has been very slow to upgrade in the past few decades, and there are many vested interest groups behind them who obstruct energy upgrading.
Among them, several great inventions that can change the existing energy structure have been quietly and inexplicably ”disappeared” because they touched the cake of these groups.
Water in the energy sector is much deeper than ordinary people think.
”A large number of fossil fuels not only have low energy conversion efficiency, but also cause great environmental problems, such as disorderly mining, greenhouse gases, water pollution and haze!
Not only that, high energy prices also limit the development of earth civilization!
According to our estimation, once connected to the energy network of Prometheus plan and using efficient, clean and cheap energy, the country's industrial development speed will increase by 5-10 percentage points!
The production cost of the enterprise is reduced by 20% on average!
The investment in scientific research of various countries will drop by 30 percentage points... ”
Chu Xiaoxiao used all kinds of data and cases to show all countries the great benefits of energy upgrading.
With Chu Xiaoxiao speaking with facts and data, many people fell into deep thinking and began to think about the advantages and disadvantages of handing over the power of energy supply to Atlantis for the whole country.
As a strategic resource, energy is controlled by others, which is naturally dangerous and harmful to domestic energy enterprises.
But the temptation of the energy services that Atlantis offers is too great!
For many pure energy importing countries, this is a pie in the sky.
The lifeblood of energy has been controlled by people. Does it make any difference who controls it? At least Atlantis never interfered in his domestic affairs!
On the other hand, if you don't accept it, other people's development speed will be faster than you, and the cost of things produced will be lower than you. Then how can we increase exports and reduce the deficit?
You seem to have resisted the temptation and chose to work hard on your own, but after more than ten or twenty years, when others have been fully electrified, are you still burning coal for power generation?
Without competitiveness, what's the use of shouting ”let's suffocate our dreams”? Selling feelings?The national strategy is not that you can't give in, the key is to see whether your chips are enough!
Moreover, each country also has a strategic energy reserve. Even if Atlantis were entrusted with the sole responsibility of daily energy supply, the other side would not be able to completely cut off their energy supply.
If it's a big deal, leave a backup energy network!
This Seems promising?
Most people around seem to be moved. Even the energy minister of the United States is hesitant. After all, energy is only one of the advantages of the United States!
The Prime Minister of Saudi Arabia will no longer be able to sit down. His country will rely entirely on energy. Once the energy is upgraded, they will be directly pulled from the backbone!
