From WSJopinion: Bill Gates sold Joe Manchin on this year’s Democratic climate spending blowout as a way to put unemployed coal workers to work. Now we learn these projects depend on Russia for fuel and will cost taxpayers more than advertised.
If climate change is an 'existential threat to human existence,' as President Biden suggests, nuclear power may have to be part of the transition from fossil fuels. The Bill Gates-backed TerraPower plant in Wyoming will be a test of that proposition. Images: TerraPower/Reuters Composite: Mark KellyBill Gates sold West Virginia Sen. Joe Manchin on this year’s Democratic climate spending blowout as a way to put unemployed coal workers to work building advanced nuclear reactors.
The Energy Department last year awarded up to $2 billion for an advanced nuclear reactor “demonstration” project in Wyoming being developed by TerraPower, a company Mr. Gates founded. These advanced reactors have been promoted because they take up significantly less space than conventional reactors and could theoretically use reprocessed nuclear fuel.
