Bill Gates says he is "quite confident" his nuclear power plant project will continue no matter who wins the White House in November, saying “support for nuclear power is very impressive in both parties.” "Of all the climate-related work I'm doing, I'd say the one that has the most bipartisan energy behind it is actually this nuclear work."
