But the DOE gave the technology to the Chinese in 2017 as part of a sublicence, and in 2021 as part of a license transfer..........To Read More..

My Take - How does anyone in government "accidentally" give a foreign power technology?  Technology they don't have, can't develop and will use against us!  And who's been fired over this?  No one as far as I can tell.  Another good reason to dump the Energy Department.
