Bill Gates’ Vision of Nuclear vs. Renewable Energy

Is Bill Gates’ nuclear reactor a good idea? Oh, crap! There are a thousand ways he could put his money to use – and not endanger all of us in the doing!

Seriously. But I always wonder about the motivation of people of his stature; it’s certainly not the money — which  so clearly drives the fossil fuel people. And with renewable energy’s efficiencies rising and costs falling?  Hmmm.  

From Gates’ TED talks, we can see that he totally grasps the reality of the global energy challenge.  So why this? I’m as perplexed as you.

You may want to click on Bill Gates’ position and scroll down to the comments of Dave Kraft, the Director of NEIS; he’s certainly nobody’s fool.
