AI播客：换个方式听新闻 下载mp3 音频由扣子空间生成 当外交官们正为俄乌冲突和平协议的核心条款争得不可开交时，草案中有一个细节却鲜有人注意：那就 是基于美俄商业关系未来可能"遍地开花"的设想而抛出的"甜头"。 这些提案主要由俄罗斯主权财富基金负责人德米特里耶夫（Kirill Dmitriev）与美国特使威特科夫 （Steve Witkoff）共同敲定，设想在两国间达成一项涵盖能源、稀土和数据中心的"长期经济合作协 议"。双方还计划设立一个用于联合项目的美俄投资基金，以此作为"不再重返冲突的强有力激励"。 这事儿还有另一种解读：这两位由商人转型为外交官的角色，正试图精心炮制一个让美国总统特朗普无 法拒绝的理由，好让他继续留在这个谈判局里。 将宏大的外交政策与商业机会捆绑在一起，已成为这位美国总统处理国际事务的一大特色。 在促成加沙停火之前，特朗普就曾勾勒过将该地区打造成"中东里维埃拉"度假胜地的蓝图。在他的第一 个任期内，在寻求与金正恩缓和关系时，他也曾高声畅想过朝鲜那"很棒的海滩"以及在那儿开发海景公 寓的潜力。 前中情局（CIA）中欧亚分部负责人Rob Dannenberg认为，和平提案中类似的论调背后 ...

为应对人工智能产业爆发带来飙升的电力需求，美国政府计划投入800亿美元重启国内停滞已久的核电 行业，并将赌注押注在曾因成本失控而饱受诟病的西屋电气"AP1000"大型反应堆技术上。 这项野心勃勃的计划将利用美国与日本达成贸易协议所获得的资金支持，旨在让美国摆脱核电建设屡屡 延期和超支的历史阴影，确立在AI时代的能源主导地位。 据华尔街日报报道，利用美日贸易协议的部分收益，美国政府于今年10月公布了与西屋电气及其所有者 Brookfield Asset Management和Cameco合作的计划。该计划拟在四个地点建设8座AP1000反应堆，这将 是美国数十年来未见的核电建设规模。 Hartley表示，最终达成的结构不仅直接利好西屋电气，更为美国公众提供了一个参与各类利润分成的机 会。Brookfield和Cameco此前以约78.8亿美元收购了走出破产保护的西屋电气，当时双方并未对新建反 应堆业务赋予任何估值，仅仅看重其燃料制造和服务业务。如今，随着政策风向转变，其估值逻辑或将 重塑。 挑战"成本诅咒"与标准化建设 将单台反应堆的"隔夜成本"（不含融资成本）控制在100亿美元以下，意味着必须克服该行业长期的 ...
