Microsoft founder Bill Gates believes that the development of nuclear power is necessary to combat climate change. He stated this during an interview with the German newspaper Handelsblatt.

According to the businessman, the shutdown of existing nuclear reactors will lead to an increase in energy prices, and will also create problems in ensuring the reliability of energy supply. Gates proposes to build new nuclear power plants that will be safer. This will avoid a climate catastrophe.

At the same time, the founder of Microsoft opposes the use of natural gas. "Natural gas is not a true transition technology," he said.
