Bill Gates said this would never work. Then he wrote a $100M check. (Ad)

Bill Gates spent a decade insisting this energy source couldn't supply more than 5% of global power. Then he toured a construction site in the Nevada desert and told Bloomberg he now believes it could reach 20%. He followed that reversal with a $100 million investment. Facebook's co-founder added $462 million. Tesla's co-founder and Norway's sovereign wealth fund also took positions. One company - 60 years of operating history, revenue approaching $1 billion - sits at the center of all of it, with a July 4th catalyst that locks in its competitive advantage for eight years.tc pixel
