Bill Gates’ Bold Bet on Safer Nuclear Energy
Doug McIntyre discusses Bill Gates’ significant investment in clean energy, particularly nuclear power. Gates, a long-time advocate for clean energy, has invested a billion dollars in safer, modular nuclear reactors. These modern reactors, developed in the past few years, aim to overcome the negative perception of nuclear energy from past incidents like Three Mile Island. Gates’ vision includes a diversified energy approach, combining nuclear, solar, and wind power to reduce reliance on fossil fuels. While wind and solar energy development has faced challenges, particularly with mechanical issues and financing, Gates’ new initiative could significantly green the U.S. energy grid.
