    EV in Indonesia

    It’s simple, to meet their hungry energy needs, Japan can’t rely on Doraemon’s magic pocket or Godzilla’s fire. They need something real to fill the base load of their massive national grid. I don’t think they love to rely on China for the battery and PV panel; so it’s safer to import uranium...
