It is starting to become obvious that wind and solar are not going to be able to power the world. Look at the problems wind and solar are already causing around the world with higher electrical rates and unreliable service. This is slowly being acknowledged, and Bill Gates is one of the latest examples.
There will be more and more calls for going to nuclear power because that is the only reasonable option for those who want a reduction in CO2, and that is becoming clearer to those on the Left who are actually concerned about CO2 and about doing something practical about it.

. . . those on the Left who are actually concerned about CO2 and about doing something practical about it.

The phrase “those on the Left” associated with “doing something practical” would be an oxymoron.

Indeed those two phrase are pretty much mutually exclusive. never the twain shall meet

Really? The Seattle papers quote him endlessly, exercising his oh-so-moral authority in all directions and always recommending the State income tax that a great majority of Washingtonians have had to vote down time after time as our moral betters force it onto ballot after ballot.
And how does being a ‘richest entrepreneur’ give anyone credibility in any subject? There are lots of richest crooks who might advise us on applying brutality in climbing to the top, but what do they know about Islamic art or operating a sailboat, and should we listen to him on those subjects?
“…there is no substitute for how the industrial economy runs today…” and that is the scam in a nutshell. As long as people are prospering under Capitalism the Socialist/Marxists can never win because a large middle class will always be content. That is why “they” are pushing “the wealth gap”….. because they know the middle class in the Western world is too large to tear down without dissension in the ranks. What they ignore is once prosperity is destroyed there is nothing remaining to finance “to each according to their need”. AGW will never win the hearts and minds because people are too complacent with their standard of living and unwilling to give it up. If AGW were true …. and it’s not …. people would adapt before giving up the progress developed so far.
Bill Gates could do a better job explaining why the revamped high speed rail to nowhere in California is and was a giant waste of money that could better be used on telecommuting investment, medical research, and community competitiveness projects.
I do not understand the above comments.
Why the comments concerning Gates’ wealth or socialism or which political party he does or does not support.
The Left have started the fight about everything paradigm. No discussion of engineering limitations. No pro/cons and comparison of alternatives.
Did anyone listen to Bill Gates’ video?
Gates is one of the few honest caring people, who has the courage to speak the truth, who is on the side of reason and logic.
Gates states that the general public have crazy beliefs about what ‘green’ power is capable of. He said he does not understand the group madness.
Gates states a fact that it is absolutely impossible using wind and sun gathering to power our countries. He notes that electrical production is roughly 25% of a country’s energy needs.
Gates provides the example of the absurdness of powering a steel plant using batteries or powering Tokyo using batteries.
Sad to say Bill you won’t get through to them because they don’t believe in science and the scientific method anymore and we know whose fault that is. When they stop trusting in science they’ll believe in anything-

You were struggling to put it mildly with their reversion to the Dark Ages but you just have to accept it’s all about feelings nowadays mate and besides you’re just another old school white guy so you don’t count.
Perhaps our day will come again when they can’t recharge their smart-screens and they’re completely lost and looking for answers-

In the meantime in backup FF generators we trust.
Wow. Finally a die-hard lefty gets it. Wonder if he will be run out of the lefty’s club? He has just committed a blaspheme. As Bill Gates talks about, it is absolutely absurd to think you can do away with conventional energy production and do it all with wind, solar and geothermal. Never in a hundred years with today’s technology. And there doesn’t seem to be anything promising on the horizon that can fix that.
“As Bill Gates talks about, it is absolutely absurd to think you can do away with conventional energy production and do it all with wind, solar and geothermal. Never in a hundred years with today’s technology.”
Why would we use today’s technology a hundred years from now?
We are still using Road, Boats, Manipulator Arms for nuclear processing, Saddles, Horses, Knives, Bows, Guns, Houses, Airplanes, Combustion Engines, Batteries, Leather, Windmills…
These are right at a century old or older…
“We are still using Road, Boats,…”
Yes, but do you know what percentage of roads in the U.S. were paved with asphalt 100 years ago? And how many boats were made of fiberglass and with internal combustion outboard motors?
Even 20 years from now, the majority of photovoltaic cells will probably be produced using roll-to-roll technology, probably involving some type of perovskite.

Footprint question: A huge solar plant is planned for Spotsylvania County in Virginia. 500MW on a footprint of 3500 acres within a 6000 acre site. A document I have seen indicates the footprint for a natural gas plant is about 5% of solar…..so 175 acres? Thoughts??
Depends on quite a few things like the output of the gas plant, but I worked at an old 350 MW coal plant nestled in an area between a river & a ridge including a coal pile that totaled prb’ly a mere ~50 acres. Once thru cooling, so no cooling towers….
Let’s recall, that’s the guy who infamously slipped about his support of that cute “population reduction” thing. So they cannot even get all the major globalist sponsors on board with “Communism minus electrification of entire country” movement.
Here is a much more recent video from Bill Gates about renewable energy. You can tell it’s more recent by looking at the color of his hair! Much more gray now.
