Bill Gates talks about the fragility of the climate in many underdeveloped countries. As climate continues to change, this spells out disaster for many countries that are dependant on crops. To alleviate this, we must find a new form of energy that is cheap, efficient and renewable. However, this is limited by the amount of carbon dioxide emissions as that is the main reason for rapid climate changes. With new advancements in technologies, Gates believes that in the future a technology will be invented to reduce carbon emissions to zero. This reduction in emissions will not only greatly benefit the climate, but also will prove extremely beneficial to solving the power crisis that has gripped many poorer countries worldwide.
In my opinion, I believe that nuclear power is extremely beneficial if and only if it is done properly. While nuclear power provides a great amount of energy, the drawbacks are the waste products and the detrimental effect on the environment. Instead, I believe that we should focus on cleaner renewable sources of energy. Like Gates says, clean and renewable sources of energy greatly reduce carbon emissions and are much less damaging to the environment. With that reduction in emissions we will be able to see reduced climate change! However, to see this through Gates suggests greater collaboration between nations will be necessary. The message needs to be spread and be more understandable. I totally agree with Gates message on this front, as the limitations in clean energy is not just technological but also societal, if people do not understand the message how can we move to develop said technology?
