Bill Gates on Nuclear Power6 Jan 2019 09:42
Quote of the week.....from the FT energy blog
“Unfortunately, America is no longer the global leader on nuclear energy that it was 50 years ago. To regain this position, it will need to commit new funding, update regulations, and show investors that it’s serious.” — Bill Gates, in his blog post reviewing “what I learned at work this year”, said he planned to spend more time in 2019 making the case for the US to return to the forefront of research into nuclear power. TerraPower, a company he started 10 years ago, had hoped to build a pilot project in China, but “recent policy changes here in the US have made that unlikely”, Mr Gates wrote. He now hopes to build the pilot in the US, “if the funding and regulatory changes that I mentioned earlier happen”.
