TED2010 Day 3: KIPP Education, Bill Gates Energy and more #TED Ideas | SocialEarth

TED2010 Day 3: Bill Gates Energy and more #TED Ideas | SocialEarth: "strong culture of achievement. All I can say is, “Go KIPP!”

Bill Gates was next up. He discussed how we can decrease our 26 billion pounds/year CO2 emissions to zero. “We need miracles in cost, location and long-term stability,” Gates slides stated. This led him to how we can store our energy from alternative sources. All the batteries in the world can only can store 10 minutes of all the energy in the world. This is a major problem.

Gates went on to discuss his plans for an energy breakthrough in nuclear technology to use spent Uranium from other plants. He also showed support for other clean alternative energies as well (which is reflected in his investments)."
