If you believe one can engage in a massive nuclear energy projects in modern United States without government participation or cooperation, you haven't been paying attention for a while. It's not a question of money, it's a question of public policy, regulation, etc. Gates has more money than whole Department of Energy, it's not about getting more (I recognize in many cases it's about getting handouts, but not in this one), it's about getting this thing moving. And this, unfortunately, does require government help.
