Now he’s promoting a dangerous new type of nuclear reactor. The public is once again being gulled by Gates, and scientists are coming forward to denounce his blinkered obstinancy. All nuclear energy is dirty and toxic, producing poisonous waste that stays deadly for thousands of years. But Gates’ new reactor prototype is potentially even more dangerous than earlier models.
Why dos Gates refuse to acknowledge that he future is renewable energy? Probably because it is resistant to the kind of corporate monopolization that has been his stock-in-trade. The fact that this arch-oligarch has been able to rehabilitate his tattered reputation at the cost of international public policy is a stark illustration of the humanity-as-ship-of-fools sentiment and calculus.
