Bill Gates on bipartisan support for nuclear power

"I don't want this in my back yard", really, you'd prefer a coal fired plant in your back yard?

We should have invested heavily in Nuclear for decades now instead of other unreliable sources. We need to move faster. Nuclear is the future.

Every city in the US could have had nuclear power by now if not for oil and coal lobbying

I specialized in nuclear engineering for my undergrad degree. Modern molten salt reactors implement passive safety features that are impervious to failure. Small modular nuclear reactors can use just a few hundred pounds of uranium fuel per month and power hundreds of homes. There are new secondary reactors being explored that can use the waste product of the original uranium reactor to produce additional power. The storage of the nuclear waste might be a huge treasure trove in the next century when methods to use it for additional reactions are discovered. Nuclear energy is a gift from God to mankind, we should use it more.

Who is she talking for when she says “the public” because no one I know is worried.

Apparently everyone in the comments is a nuclear physicist

Oh my god stop interrupting him every sentence 🤦‍♂️

I wish they would post the date of the actual interview rather than the date it is posted. I already watched the full interview a couple weeks ago.

Mr Gates - Phone Peter Dutton.

Finally people are seeing how great nuclear energy is. Nothing can match the cleanliness and power of nuclear and hydro. Specially nuclear.

And thank you both for pronouncing the word NUCLEAR correctly !

Wasn't he epsteins best buddy and his wife divorced him because of their activities?

That is a rare bill W

Can we just admit we are talking about someone who divested into farming

Great conversation on a very important topic globally. I would like CBS to extend this dialogue to other areas besides generation, such as transmission, distribution and consumption. Theses topics are vital when we think about increasing electricity consumption by more than 500 terawatts per year. Thanks for sharing this.

Did y’all get the feeling that the interviewer and interviewee weren’t responding to eachother? Seemed like 2 different conversations

I despise how Billionaires think they know what's best for the world, but this could be good as long as it's accessible and not monopolized by companies which we know that will be the case ...

I'm glad Bill is confident that mine tailings will be cleaned up properly in the US, because history tells us differently.

The food trucks serving garbage is alarming

Nuclear power is the only way to meet the need for electricity. Using a sodium base new nuclear reactors like in China should as well use Thorium instead of Uranium.
