Yeah, there’s very little information in the article on what type of reactor they plan to use, but I hope they’re able to go with something like a molten salt reactor with a thorium fuel cycle.
Fuck that. Take all the government grants and subsidies that would surely exist, and then use it for their own good/profit/power hoarding? No thanks.
Putting billionaires in control of our nuclear power infrastructure after “building” them with mostly taxpayer money, when it’s all said and done, is an absolutely bone chilling thought. Terrifying.
The picture they show is from terrapower, the company Bill Gates funded, which is a thorium reactor. Thorium liquid salt reactors are still difficult because of the metallurgy. I believe they were supposed to fit the small modular concept though.

Your logic is fallacious: the solution is not to build a nuclear reactor but seek an alternative.

The best alternative is probably a diversified system of sustainable energy sources, along with batteries.
Hm… invest into your companies cybersecurity before or after you get hacked?
Companies don’t care enough about risks if they are not forced to account for them.
