Billionaires leading push for nuclear reactors in Canadian mining: The billionaires club wants Canada to develop and finance SMRs for them so they can pollute the earth some more.

With Gates and his billionaires’ nuclear club backing KoBold, it’s likely that their off-grid mining projects would welcome government financing for small modular reactors.

When asked about the situation, Mining Watch Canada’s Jamie Kneen told me by email:

   “On the one hand, the mining industry faces so much risk in the markets that it’s unlikely to add to that risk by jumping on an unproven technology [like SMRs]. On the other hand, the mining industry is used to leaving masses of toxic waste behind for others to deal with – and getting away with it – so it’d be a perfect fit.“
