【文/观察者网 王一】在高调将所有外国无人机及其组件列入受管制"黑名单"不久后，美国政府似乎突 然看清了现实。 英国路透社、香港《南华早报》等媒体1月9日注意到，美国商务部当天低调更新网站，撤回了一项拟议 的对中国无人机实施进口限制的计划。 据报道，在对中国制造的乘用车和卡车采取进口限制措施后，美国商务部去年9月以所谓的国家安全为 由，计划出台规则限制甚至禁止中国无人机进口，以应对"信息和通信技术供应链风险"。相关提案10月 8日提交白宫审查，在经历数月内部磋商后，于今年1月8日撤回。9日，美国政府网站以低调更新的形式 发布了撤销消息。 不过，美国联邦通信委员会（FCC）禁止外国无人机在美销售的公告仍在。上月，FCC以"不可接受的 国安威胁"为由，将所有外国制造的无人机及其组件列入受管制"黑名单"。美国彭博社当时提到，大 疆、道通等中国无人机厂商将受到影响。本周，FCC还进一步宣布，对部分非中国制造的无人机给予豁 免。 路透社指出，FCC的限制意味着，中国无人机厂商将无法获得在美销售新款无人机和关键部件所需的批 准。但这些限制措施并不禁止此前已获批准的无人机型号继续被进口、销售或使用，也不影响已经购买 的设备 ...

AI时代的"电荒"让稳定、可量产的小型核反应堆（SMR）成为关键解法，微软谷歌等科技巨头正取代政府成为其背后金 主；尽管面临降本压力与燃料供应链的地缘风险，未来五年将是SMR证明自己能否实现规模化落地的窗口期。 硬·AI 作者 | 龙 玥 编辑 | 硬 AI 随着人工智能对能源需求的爆炸式增长，核能行业正迎来其"硅谷时刻"，而小型模块化反应堆（SMR）正 成为焦点。 1月3日，据能源媒体OilPrice的Michael Kern报道，在人工智能（AI）数据中心急剧扩张和汽车电气化进 程加速的背景下，全球电力需求的增长速度已达到总能源需求增速的两倍，而能源行业正迎来关键转折 点。 传统的间歇性可再生能源已无法满足现代经济对全天候（24/7）稳定基荷电力的需求， 核能尤其是小型模 块化反应堆（SMRs），正被视为解决这一供需矛盾的关键路径。 与传统的大型核电项目不同，SMR通过将建设周期缩短至3-5年并降低初始资本门槛，试图规避传统大型 核电项目动辄数百亿美元的财务黑洞，将核能从"大型工程"转化为"工业产品"。 这一转变最显著的特征是驱动力的变化：私营部门尤其是科技巨头已取代政府成为核电复兴的主角。微 软、谷歌、 ...
