I don't think Bill Gates has any significant involvement with Microsoft these days, but wasn't he pushing for greater nucleus power usage, including trialing reactors in India?
You’re thinking of Gavin Belson. Nucleus was a Hooli product.
LOL I didn't even realize I made that typo. I've been typing nucleus a lot more than nuclear lately.
He is the primary investor of TerraPower. Not sure about anything with India. They do have something that is being planned in Wyoming.
Ah, thanks. I looked it up and apparently he had planned something in China but the plans were scrapped and now it's Wyoming. This is what I get for not looking it up to refresh my memory beforehand.
He was promoting something called traveling wave reactors. Which never panned out. Just like nothing will become of this.
