Why Bill Gates is wrong about nuclear power

Bill Gates wants to spend $2 billion + on new nuclear plants, claiming it's the "only" way to solve climate change. But in reality, he will only make climate change worse by redirecting dollars -- that would have lowered more carbon emissions by bringing on faster, cheaper renewables now -- to slow, expensive nuclear plants that could take a decade or more to show up and will never be produced in enough numbers or in time to help the climate crisis, or the world's poor, as Gates's company TerraPower erroneously claims.
