Bill Gates says he is "quite confident" his nuclear power plant project will continue no matter who wins the White House in November, saying “support for nuclear power is very impressive in both parties.” "Of all the climate-related work I'm doing, I'd say the one that has the most bipartisan energy behind it is actually this nuclear work." Gates tells Margaret Brennan the energy company moves forward with its plan to build a next generation nuclear power plant in Wyoming. There are discussions for the company to build "tens of these," but he adds, "we really only have huge impact and success if we get past 100."
