"Bill Gates downplays renewable energy: “Do you guys on Wall Street have something in your desks that makes steel? Where is fertilizer, cement, plastic going to come from?’"

WTH?! Hole-eee crapola. Who knew so many FReepers were just as smart at billy boy gates? Actually we're smarter since we realize the "greenhouse gas emissions" are mostly hot air and bovine exhaust by products.

“Electricity is just 25 percent of greenhouse gas emissions,”

But by pushing electric vehicles, we here at Government House are confident that we can push that number well into the 70's.

Bill Gates is the Chairman and a big investor in Terra Power, a traveling wave reactor (TWR) company.

Very cool technology.

For a couple of decades we had a push to reduce pollution. We finally got emissions down to very nearly zero... and they moved the goal-posts. Because if they recognized that our power plants don’t pollute anymore, they’d have nothing to talk about, and nothing to drive fund-raising.

Behind that is the push for centralized control of the economy. Whatever you’ve got, global warming, global cooling, global stayin’-right-where-it-is, the answer is centralized control of the economy, with them at the top.

Welcome aboard the common sense train Bill. Maybe you should send a memo over to the Apple fanboys. Never mind, they still hate you, but at least these days they hate President Trump more.

“Do you guys on Wall Street have something in your desks that makes steel? Where is fertilizer, cement, plastic going to come from? Do planes fly through the sky because of some number you put in a spreadsheet?”

Nice to see Bill Gates back in the arena using his brain rather than just jetting around the world giving money away...it's about time...

So easy a liberal techie can figure it out.

Gates may right about nuclear. My rocket fuel and nuclear scientist BiL (also a lib enviro) says if you are serious about emission reduction nuclear is the only hope. He also HATES wind power.

While we’re on about climate nonsense...

whoever has the climate change ping, John Casey’s documentary “Dark winter’ is going to be aired at 9PM Central on Newsmax.

DirecTV channel 349
Dish 265 I think,
Fios around 615

Excellent documentary, I’ve watched it several times.

Bill isn’t very bright. If it weren’t for much smarter people running Microsoft, you would never have heard of bill.
