![]() ![]() "Yeah, the thing is, if you got 300 primary jobs, it allows gas stations, grocery stores, motels, everything else to be, ya know?" Thatcher said. "Does this mean Kemmerer's going to have jobs for 50 years?" Petersen asked. So, a lot of what we do will be transferable." "You're gonna have a lot of the same equipment that we use right now to generate power. "You know, this is a new design nuclear reactor but it's still is going to end up generating steam, turning a steam turbine," Holt said. Today's plant workers may also win by getting new jobs, says Roger Holt, a manager at the coal plant, and Mark Thatcher, a retired coal miner. That's who's gonna win the game," Jackson said. So we jumped right into the market and was kind of first come. "There's a lot of big companies coming here. There will be 300 workers running the plant once it comes online. The first of 2,500 workers who will construct the plant are already doing site surveys. The promise of a new plant has bulldozers at work as out-of-town developers like David Jackson think they're building into a boom. ![]() So that shouldn't be a limiting factor anymore," Gates said. And so the technology for waste disposal we've had that advance. "And so the amount that you're making, you know, per decade is less than the size of a big room. Sodium-cooled reactors are three times more efficient than traditional water-cooled reactors, which means significantly less nuclear waste. It could be in operation by 2029, using a next-generation technology called natrium, which is the Latin name for sodium. Solar and wind only work when the weather is right, but nuclear works 24 hours a day without spewing out climate-changing greenhouse gasses. And we're not, I'm not opposed to that, and I don't think most of the citizens are opposed to something like that," Thek said. The nuclear, as far as I'm concerned, goes along with his green energy moving forward. "There are people who absolutely abhor him. But now he's kinda your local hero," Petersen said. Bill Gates is not a name where I think people would have a lot of praise for in Wyoming 'cause of his stance on phasing out coal and things of that sort. Now, Kemmerer has a 21st-century business hero. ![]()
