But in Gates' case, it does give him some serious currency in the cowboy state, where his company, TerraPower, is building a nuclear plant. Gates la...

by Wyoming Liberty Group It's a basic mathematical equation: A lack of money + a need to pay for stuff = pressure. Pressure to find another source of revenue, if you're the state government in Wyoming. And if we're not careful, we'll end up with a deal with the proverbial devil.
