Accelerating the development and deployment of a new generation of nuclear power plants is key to achieving climate goals and realizing the potential of AI!

🌍🔋TerraPower Founder and Chairman Bill Gates talks about the role of TerraPower in revolutionizing nuclear energy and the connection between #AI and nuclear power in this NPR article. https://lnkd.in/eefaBiS8

Bill Gates is going nuclear: How his latest project could power U.S. homes and AI June 2024 Gates has invested $1 billion into a nuclear power plant that broke ground in Kemmerer, Wyo., this week. The new facility, designed by the Gates-founded TerraPower, will be smaller than traditional fission nuclear power plants and, in theory, safer because it will use sodium instead of water to cool the reactor’s core. https://lnkd.in/gbYiA58P

How about buying a fusion nuclear generator from Bill Gates? Check these facts. Invest in Build Fusion energy generators Your talk is Nuclear (meaning only Fission) and fails to talk about fusion. https://lnkd.in/ge_aeX7M The nuclear fission industry is, ignorant of what's happening around you. Pull your uranium heads out, start adjusting your industry to fusion energy and start preparing to enter the commercially growing fusion energy industry. As it dawns on Earth like the sun. Great Headline Guardian on Nuclear fission. https://lnkd.in/g8sMZtpR Fission is moving towards obsolescence at an accelerated pace, as it is "out of step, out of time, out of place," and merely a temporary industry globally. https://lnkd.in/gbd_mZqk Commercial fusion electrical generation is a promising innovative sustainable and clean energy method. By 2028, Helion is expected to start producing electricity from its first fusion commercial power plant, which will provide electricity to Microsoft. The plant will produce at least 50 MWe after an initial ramp-up period. https://lnkd.in/gY9J3MQY Now see what news is happening in the Fusion industry in the world. https://lnkd.in/g9hMBD7a As fission trebles, fission fuel shortage is increasingly real, as linked below. https://lnkd.in/gze5rwpr

Extending the lifetime of existing nuclear plants could help cut emissions and is generally cheaper than building new ones. So just how long can we expect nuclear power plants to last?  https://lnkd.in/gvzaKDsr

The ongoing back-and-forth on nuclear power shows how tricky it is to balance its eco-friendly perks with the cost and red tape involved. What are your thoughts on the future of nuclear energy? Do you think it could still be a viable solution amidst these challenges?

It's encouraging to see the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) providing some education on nuclear energy and its potential role in our future energy mix. It is crucial for the public to understand the mechanics, benefits, and challenges of nuclear power without the emotional bias. By presenting a balanced view of our energy options, people can have informed discussions. This type of information is vital as we explore diverse solutions to sustainably meet our growing energy demands over the next few decades. #energytransition #netzero

Unlocking the potential of nuclear power is crucial for our energy future. Discover how the landscape is changing and why it's time to reconsider nuclear in our latest article: https://bit.ly/3xVhS91

The Vogtle Units 3 & 4 are the latest two nuclear reactors getting into operation in the US. The two reactors combined have 2.2 GW of output. Both took around 15 years to build and more than 20 years since project initiation. There is no clear line of sight on when the next one will come online. Meanwhile in the past 20 years, US has added more than 140 GW of solar and in the past 5 years alone around 20 GW of batteries. Technology aside, we need to look at what get deployed. It is apparent that solar + batteries are the way to go.
