When TerraPower and PacifiCorp said in June that they would place a right-sized nuclear reactor in Wyoming where a coal plant once stood, it barely made a ripple. The president’s green infrastructure plan had drowned out the news. But nuclear energy is expensive and all of the dollar signs combined have become blinding.

Microsoft co-founder and multi-billionaire philanthropist Bill Gates, like many celebrities, is all about cleaning up the power generation sector to reduce carbon emissions. However, he doesn’t believe that renewables alone are the best or only way to get there.
