U.S. Navy Nuclear Power, on watch 24/7/365 around world in some of the most arduous conditions accident/incident free. Let's talk about Nuclear Power...
There are far worse things for Bill Gates to use his reources on.
One needn’t knock fossil fuels as an argument for nuclear energy.
The big problem we face is powering private vehicles.
My home electricity use is way down, and will be going down more.
Nuclear power is not the way to go. No way, no how. When man can store it safely for hundreds of thousands of years isn’t reason enough to go nuclear. Two things need to be true, a way to safely store the waste for thousands of years, AND proof that civilization will be in a state where it will even remember that the stuff was stored. Hanford Washington, is storing nuclear materials that have been leaking for 60 years, they can’t even clean this up. Fukushima is leaking and is still so dangerous that they cannot attempt to get near it to make a plan to contain it.
I think we should go slowly with respect to nuclear power.
The new generation of reactors needs to prove itself.
Instead of taking on “noble” causes maybe Bill the bastard could pay market wages to Americans and not hustle congress for more H-1B visa slaves. I hope he rots in hell one day like all “globalists”.
Illinois is closing two nuke plants as we speak.

Everything i read about THORIUM reactors sounds promising.
Elon Musk should set up a company- he seems to be the only one doing anything new and exciting
Way back in 1977, before Three Mile Island or Chernobyl, Dr Petr Beckmann, a professor of Electrical Engineering at Univ. of Colorado, authored a very sharp book with the title of “The Health Hazards of NOT Going Nuclear!” In it, he detailed the contemporary health effects of all energy generation methods, from source to completion, and showed that the fission nuclear power had the lowest health risks of them all.
He was no pollyanna, as he acknowledged that all methods had a material impact on health at every point in the cycle of power generation. He was equally firm that the LACK of power / electricity was a health hazard that overwhelms all of the hazards of even the worst generation method(s).
If I could find this long out-of-print book again, it would be interesting to see how it stands after 39 years of progress versus regulation versus environmentalism.
The real problem is that nukes cannot be handled by EEOC hires. No room for error.
