So what does it mean when, recently, Angela Merkel said that she will be fighting climate change with all her strength:

So what is my opinion on closing nukes? I think it is paranoid that they will go the way of Fukushima, especially since the main reason Fukushima was so bad was because it was by the sea and it got flooded.
But that said, NPPs aren’t so much green since they are hard to build and produce lots of nuclear waste.
When it comes to solution take Bill Gates and how he has (had?) this promising company that was developing Traveling Wave Reactor (nuclear power plant that uses and "eats" nuclear waste and is small and easy to build). And it was so promising that he even made a deal with president of China that, if he develops TWR, he will get to build them all over China which gave him additional enthusiasm to develop it. But then came in Trump and with his trade war with China the deal fell apart.

And Gates isn’t the only one, there are other companies trying to develop this kind of nuclear reactors which is covered in the documentary called “New Fire”.
But the BIG question is: why is such an important technology left for the private sector to develop? Why don’t governments of the world (or one government) make a plan and investment to develop it? Are they all in the pockets of oil industries or is something else going on?
I mean in the ecology topic I posted recently video by Vice about technologies to battle climate change and they're all funded by Bill Gates. Nobody else seems to give a shit and is buying yachts instead.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
