"On the personal front, I am doing a lot more," Gates wrote. "I am driving electric cars. I have solar panels at my house. I eat synthetic meat (some of the time!). I buy green aviation fuel. I pay for direct air capture by Climeworks. I help finance electric heat pumps in low cost housing to replace natural gas."

STF up while you are at it Gates.
I hope it poisons the son of a female dog.
He and his wife should kill themselves.
All watermelons should too.
These a**holes only care about “black box” engineering schemes.
It doesn’t matter except singular parts of an equation.
Electric car = no exhaust.
It does matter how the car was charged.
Nor where the batteries were made, and from what process.
screw him
Yeah. And what kind of a mansion does he live in? How many jacuzzis?
I went to a McDonalds in Luxembourg City.
It was super clean, a hot White girl waited on me, and they brought the food to my table with a smile.
Then, we leave and I hear “American English”.
I asked where they were from, and they lived a mile from me in Wilmington, DE.
Liar.
Dumber than a box of rocks, is the only way to describe Gates, for such stupidity. Heat pumps MIGHT reduce C02 emissions IF electricity came from wind turbines and solar panels, but now it comes from burning coal. That means heat pumps actually make it worse.
If Gates were also advocating nuclear power, it would make sense. Since he's not, he's actually making it far worse, trading cleaner natural gas for coal fired electricity.
Very true, but can be offset by how much a person bets successfully on new technologies. Technologies that succeed in the free market, without government interference, do so by using less energy than the old technologies they replace, and indirectly by polluting less. Most of the uber-rich active investors have huge negative carbon footprints because of that.
If Gates wants to be admired by the masses he should play that up much more than the lame virtual signalling. But he probably just wants government interference to bail out his misguided bets, so is really doing a sales pitch to loot the taxpayers.
Gates has always been a lover of the most energy inefficient organization of all: government. That's probably because they have always been his single largest customer. Centralized planning bureaucracies love computers for centralized data gathering, even if that data is gamed.
If green costs more, it isn't.
Interesting.
If diesel or gasoline get produced from air and water, what then would be the point of having an electric vehicle?
He’s welcome to my share of fake meat...
Gates needs to go all the way—_zero_ carbon footprint—for him and the rest of the Boards of Directors on his foundations.
Only one thing left you can do Bill. That is reduce the world population by one.
He’s such a fing liar
He would really cutdown his carbon footprint if he killed himself.
How about sending him flying off the edge of the Grand Canyon.
What generates the electricity in the low income projects that replaced natural gas?
