this sounds like the bill gates design.
The real future of small nuclear reactors is being done over seas. These are nuclear reactors that will be sited on barges and towed to their sites. They’ll be mass produced and create electricity for .02-.03@kwh—for starters. What they’ll do is enable vertical farms that are 100 stories tall to be built. Cities will become food independent. The demand for these reactors will be enormous.
The best of these reactors will be thorium based. There is currently one thorium reactor being tested in the US national labs. But when it passes tests—it will be produced in Indonesia—where a factory for mass production is already started.
I don’t have a lot of confidence in Bill Gates.
It’s been my experience, rich people who venture away from the industry that made them their fortune are very likely to lose a lot of their own money on things they don’t know much about. They are cocky and think they can accomplish anything they want.
A few get lucky and lightning strikes twice.
