Re "And the coal cost is higher than PV."
Not with the real cost of solar in China to China for solar vs coal.
If coal was more expensive than solar in China then coal would not be considered.
Coal is still been considered now in 2019 so it is still cheaper energy than a new large solar project.
Russia and the Soviet union did not grow up with digital data in the same way as USA.
Under Soviet Union a super computer with network was something very special and something to wait for.
Requests for such fully imported or a domestically produced copy of a western computer system was not easy to make.
Getting such a system was a real effort. The real work done on such a computer had to be approved and tracked.
Home computers played copies of games, allowed people to learn code. To understand hardware and software to write better games.
To repair hardware and fix home computers so they could be used again.
To play and share western games. To translate. To work on a way to get every extra amount of computing power out of 8 bit home computers.
The 1990's saw a flood of consumer and new US imports. US OS, hardware and networks. Some attempts by Russia to make its own OS, own CPU.
Did Russia trust all the low cost US consumer computers they could now import and network? No.
NSA, CIA and GCHQ altered shipments of powerful new computer parts exported at "cost" to Russians who get a market opening deal/discount.
Russia new most of its new networks that "had" to be connected to do business would be the start of projects like FAIRVIEW, STORMBREW, GERONTIC.
To place large amounts of secret data onto a network was not an option as it was not something people did over the decades in academic/science/mil work.
A super computer existed to work on a complex problem in a set time.
A different culture to database and networking use.
The fully networked computer system is in a secure building. No networks exist outside the building, into the city, to the internet.
With guards, a strong esprit de corps and real security clearances. Staff have full background investigations and don't get to wonder in and out of "work" with their smart phones. Staff at that level of security are politically reliable.
Lots of home computers are connected globally but that is for domestic/fun/consumer/business use.
What is online in Russia as gov datas sets is honeypot/bait/trap. A lot of powerful looking information left around to see if anyone is spying, what makes to West.
Fictional projects, code words, funding that is "easy" to spy out on an open network that connects direct into Russia.
Want data on Russia? Make a human spy and have them copy and walk data out for CIA/MI6.
CIA/MI6 would never allow such datasets to be published in real time, 10-20 years later.
In 70 to 100 years some approved historian might get to hint at what the NSA/CIA/GCQH/MI6 did in Russia in 2019 in a book chapter that was cleared for publication.
That some Russian walked out of work with a large data set they copied.
That an aircraft, ferry/truck route was used to transport Russian mil equipment out on bulk.
No western security service would ever publish material found, methods decades after such methods got used.
So what is found in Russia that can be publish in the West on real time?
If it was real data from Russia, it would be in the hands of Western security services and never to be talked about.
Want to know about Western spying in Russia in 2019? Read a history book that was approved for publication about what was done before 1950.
Anything of any interest in Russia is
In the minds of a small group of people doing something interesting.
On a paper in a safe in a walk in vault in a secure mil/science city.
On paper in a safe in a secure building.
Should Russia need a "Super Computer" such work is done on site with a computer. No networks outside needed.
One task gets one super computer on site.
The exception would be university science, academic networks to gather real time data from all over Russia/globally.
Russia is well networked but not in a way the NSA and GCHQ expects.
Want great Russia secrets? Have the MI6/CIA recruit a real Russia worker with access to a building/site/mil and have them "photograph" the papers of interest.
Offer the person in Russia a deal and ask them collect the data.
Use internet to send data sets back to West.
Its for all the unusual things a computer might not have the ability to consider.
The wrong rate of climb in the wrong way.
Smoke and fire.
A plane might report its abandoning take off due to a mechanical problem.
The crew is unaware of a large fire and a lot of smoke.
Thats extra seconds to call for equipment.
China has a problem. Its skilled workers now want a wage.
Everyone wants rent and their part of an export products profits.
What to do?
Use robots?
Invest in a new factory in Laos? Vietnam? Indonesia?
Stay in China and pay the rent, tax and workers?
Communist party is not going to save the solar quota party.
Communist party only wants the low price energy. Coal is back as they can go lower on the energy price. Real power prices. Without the past solar subsidy.
The subsidies just stopped and the real world price of solar just got discovered.
Solar still has to meet the highest standards. So no cost reductions.
Where everyone can report anyone for anything.
That national ID number follows a person around.
Need a smart phone? Thats a national ID number linked service.
Add in any court issues, debts.
What kind of information a person posted online.
Get that score too low and the ability to domestic transport gets removed. No flying. No fast train service. No good hotels.
No good education options for anyone connected in anyway to the low score person. No government work.
Anyone can report a person. Its not just CCTV and a gov/mil/court database.
People report other people for all the expected reasons.
Intel is getting back into the consumer GPU chip side of computing.
First they need to get the OS/software side ready.
Then the new GPU hardware will be ready.
South Korea, Vietnam, Tibet, Tiananmen Square all got lots of Communist liberation.
Now its computer networks that will have to collect it all for a Communist government.
Publish their own video material on social media.
A video site then steps in with its recommendation algorithm to define what content will be found?
A video site should be a utility as they are not the publisher of the user created content.
Want a video site to be news reporters? Create your own news under a brand and publish that.
Let people have their freedom to publish, the freedom to search, the freedom to link, the freedom to comment on other users content.
Its their content and their comments. Their search terms and their interest to link and support.
The robots dont need years of a tax payer funded education and free city health care.
The robots dont request chain migration for generations of more robots.
With the UBI who in the state/federally is going to pay for 100% more people to get full support all the time?
Better to just give the 25% some income while they are all looking for work.
A few might find a new job.
Then move them to some new early retirement benefit.
Paying for 25% of working people for a short time is a lot more tax friendly than 100% of every generation of working population getting an instant UBI all the time.

In China the Communist party wants the crypto and code.
In the USA PRISM got the crypto.
The EU makes the same demands on what publishing can be on social media.
Should a Western brand invest and make its products in China understand what the Communist party will demand.
Of the US brand.
From all workers who are good Communists.
Try a nation with the rule of law and who will support US freedoms.
