And the grand winner to house the Bill Gates – CCP Nuclear Reactor is… Kemmerer.
Just for the record, and we’ve mentioned this many times, the Chinese Communist Party involvement with Gates is not an exaggeration. Just less than a month ago Secretary of Energy Granholm pointedly and publicly acknowledged the Gates-China nuclear relationship, and how this needs to be nutured:
Top U.S. Energy Official Sees ‘Unusual Partnerships’ for Nuclear, BNN-Bloomberg, Sept 21, 2021:
(Emphasis added)
The Biden administration’s top energy official said the nuclear industry should broaden its business case beyond power markets in order to ensure its place in a carbon-free economy.
…The former governor of Michigan said some “unusual partnerships” between nations and industries might be needed for U.S. nuclear operators to tap the $23 trillion global clean energy market over the next decade.
…Granholm spoke at a meeting of senior officials at the International Atomic Energy Agency, where Chinese and Russian envoys called for more research-and-development collaboration to accelerate the deployment of new generations of miniature reactors.
…The Department of Energy curtailed some joint projects with China during the Trump administration, including work on a test reactor backed by billionaire Bill Gates. Granholm suggested the urgency of the climate crisis might require re-evaluating prohibitions on some technology transfers and cooperation…
… Granholm reserved special praise for the Gates-led company, TerraPower LLC, which in June announced it would build its first test plant at a shuttered coal site in Wyoming rather than in China…

And choosing Kemmerer to power Oregon and Washington, as we’ve mentioned before, is not an exaggeration either (time mark at 6:12:00):
Presenters in the video are Rocky Mountain Power Vice President *Rita Meyer and Governmental Relations VP Jon Cox.
In the above video, the full discussion of “Coal Plant Closures” between the Minerals Committee and Rocky Mountain Power (RMP) begins at 5 hours and 30 minutes. Here is the link to RMP’s presentation that is being discussed – take a look at page 18 to see WY wind energy also being funneled to the “Gateway West”.
The discussion on Coal Plant Closures included far more entities than just RMP. Here is the May 16, 2019 Minerals Committee Meeting list with all entities and the documentation they provided to the Committee. Here are all of the video links for this meeting:
*Most Wyomingites will recognize Rita Meyer as former WY Auditor. According to her UW Alumni bio, Rita Meyer served as Rocky Mountain Power’s Vice President for around eight years, after which she served as Director of Wyoming Infrastructure Investments for Rocky Mountain Power in June 2019.
As of May 10, 2021, she is now the CEO of Wyoming Energy Futures that recently filed with the WY Secretary of State – just four weeks before Governor Gordon announced the TerraPower deal on June 2, 2021.
In the Wyoming Capitol Club Directory Rita Meyer is currently listed as representing Terra Power and Wyoming Energy Futures.
It sure does look like Rita Meyer sold Wyoming down the river, doesn’t it?
