Bill Gates is all-in on nuclear power

Bill Gates has a new technology he’s excited about. The New York Times reports that the Microsoft co-founder is very excited about TerraPower, a nuclear power company working on a new type of reactor that’s smaller and could be more easily assembled than traditional nuclear power generators.

“If you care about climate, there are many, many locations around the world where nuclear has got to work,” Gates told the newspaper. “I’m not involved in TerraPower to make more money. I’m involved in TerraPower because we need to build a lot of these reactors.”
