Gates said America&#8217;s dependence on renewable energy sources isn&#8217;t high enough to worry about their stability \u2014 the problem was natural gas plants that were not weatherized.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;This is not because of renewable dependency,&#8221; Gates told Cooper. &#8220;This is natural gas plants, largely, that weren&#8217;t weatherized. They could&#8217;ve been. It costs money, and the trade off was made, and it didn&#8217;t work out, and it&#8217;s tragic that it has lead to people dying.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He argued that because climate change is the root cause of extreme weather events, green energy must be the future to prevent even worse disasters than the ones unfolding now across the globe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">How to solve the climate crisis<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The world needs a massive breakthrough, and Gates is looking for one. He said he&#8217;s faced many dead ends in his investments, which have an 80% failure rate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;20% success rate when you are limiting yourself to things that have dramatic climate benefits \u2014 that would be very impressive,&#8221; Gates said. &#8220;I think we will achieve it, but that&#8217;s very hard.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Gates sees a future where 80% of the world&#8217;s energy is from wind and solar and the remaining 20% comes from nuclear energy. He uses Texas as an example. Deep freezes reduce the ability to use wind energy, so the state would have to ramp up nuclear energy or draw from storage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On the political front, Gates said his breakthrough energy team is in talks with President Biden&#8217;s administration, and that policy needs as much innovation as technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2021\/02\/20\/business\/bill-gates-anderson-cooper-interview-texas\/index.html\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2021\/02\/20\/business\/bill-gates-anderson-cooper-interview-texas\/index.html\">Lire la Suite \/ Voir le video<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><span class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color\">Le PDG d&#8217;Apple Tim Cook partage ses id\u00e9es sur l&#8217;innovation avec un jeune blogueur chinois<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Le PDG d&#8217;Apple, Tim Cook, a partag\u00e9 ses id\u00e9es sur l&#8217;innovation et a adress\u00e9 ses meilleurs v\u0153ux au peuple chinois dans une interview accord\u00e9e \u00e0 un jeune blogueur chinois.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He Shijie, \u00e9tudiant \u00e0 l&#8217;universit\u00e9 des Postes et T\u00e9l\u00e9communications de Beijing, a publi\u00e9 jeudi cette interview en ligne.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">M.
