Bill Gates is all in on nuclear energy, per Bloomberg.
“If we don’t build 100 nuclear reactors, we won’t make a significant contribution to climate,” he has said.

Bill gates can f**k off, but he’s actually right though. Nuclear energy has come a long way. Burning coal literally releases more radioactive isotopes than a properly run nuclear plant. History’s major meltdowns aren’t something that could even be reproduced without intentional f**kery, and even then – combustion emissions silently kill many fold more than even a chernobyl type event.
We need it yesterday.
