Inside Bill's Brain talked about TerraPower, the nuclear development project Gates is funding. The documentary didn't get into many specifics, but did make it a point to blame the stallment of the project on the Trump administration. I don't know how true that is. From what I remember of the documentary, TerraPower had regulatory clearance to build a new gen reactor in China, but it was blocked by the executive arm of the US late in the project planning phase.
