Bill Gates says there's "impressive" support for nuclear power amid new Wyoming plant

Stop dependence on Saudi energy

NO path to Net-Zero without Nuclear Power. KEY NOTE: Nuclear Power Plants can work for 80 Years (or longer). The costs are spread over 80 YEARs.

$4 billion not $10 billion. All the recent articles say the cost is expected to be $4 billion; half of which is being paid for by the federal government.

Can we shift from uranium to thorium instead

Nuclear energy should be vastly expanded in the US.

I like the idea of nuclear energy. It's the best way to go, I think.

I bought a documentary about ten years ago about the advantages of molten salt reactors, which is what I believe he is speaking of. The documentary illustrated that the largest advantage to this type of reactor was that it could use our spent nuclear fuel rods as fuel again for itself. The only by-product were small amounts of high grade nuclear material that the medical industry is in desperate need of. The other large advantage was that there was zero chance of a meltdown, because the process would not create a thermal runaway situation. I haven't listened to it completely yet, but I haven't even heard a mention of this...very interesting.

I'm gonna need me some of that salt water cooling if Brennan gets any hotter. Somebody needs to lower the rods cause I'm having a meltdown!! 😮

and why not in California? The great electricity consumer.

There’s already a pretty big one under construction down south. I can’t remember if it was in Georgia or or just exactly where somewhere down in through there and theres plans to build more and they’re pretty big

All the private nuclear companies need to raise money like governments raise bond funds

How did he solve the corrosion problem for the pipes in the salt reactors? Is the salt mixture chemically balanced while running or is it a half measure where the fission material is separate? Do they plan on expanding fuel to old nuclear waste and thorium? Feel like the reporters questions dropped the ball here

why dont you get your buddy warren bufo to insure it instead of the taxpayer!

I like the way he talks about the folks in AI, when he is like, the folks in AI he's talking about.

Not a mention of it being in a seismic zone

Small Fission / Fusion reactors - Thanks for Windows Bill Gates.

Educated people know this is the future of energy. As long as we have capable people in charge. The technology is very safe now compared to all other methods of energy creation. It even creates less waste then solar and wind farms because thoes need to be replaced often and they are not recycled.

At least he’s trying to work on real world issues. Even if he can’t directly relate to everyday people.

Investors follow the big money! This is the future. Consider Nano Nuclear Energy Inc as an investment opportunity for portable mining!

Fast Neutrons reactors have been tried before by many companies and countries and abandoned because they are very complicated and costly. Besides, these reactors are "factories of Plutonium" (perfect fuel for nuclear weapons).
