Bill Gates says US must be willing to 'outinnovate' foreign competitors in nuclear energy

Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates argued that the United States should be willing to “outinnovate” foreign adversaries in the nuclear energy sector.

Gates, who appeared on CBS News’s “Face the Nation” on Sunday, said he thinks Americans should value that the U.S. needs to be a leader in nuclear energy because “you really don’t want the nuclear reactors around the world made by your adversaries.”

His interview follows the news that Microsoft moved forward with construction on a new nuclear power plant in Wyoming.
