What a strange thing to say. Gates has been spending $2B/yr for the past two decades ($28B in total so far) on what I consider to be exemplary philanthropic efforts. Thanks to him millions of people are alive today who would otherwise die of infectious diseases. And he does what he does irrespective of the administration, because he knows it needs to be done, and it's not like he can spend $100B anyway.

If anything, it may be easier to pass legislation favoring nuclear under Trump: Trump likes to deregulate, he doesn't care about anti-nuclear "activists", and he understands the role of cheap energy in the economy really well.
