More quotes by Bill Gates
Energy is very primal stuff and there are a lot of leads that are promising, still at a fairly risky stage, but over the next decade some of these breakthrough approaches are going to pay out, and U.S. research and U.S. leadership on this should be part of how it gets solved.
Bill Gates
Think of business as a good game. Lots of competition and a minimum of rules. You keep score with money.

I was announcing to the public, in 2006, that I'd be leaving Microsoft in a couple of years and focusing full-time on the foundation. That was the time at which we went back to New York and Warren [Buffett] announced these gifts to a number of foundations, with a very high percentage of it going to us and basically doubling our capacity.

Bill Gates

Bill Gates
Living on $6 a day means you have a refrigerator, a TV, a cell phone, your children can go to school. That's not possible on $1 a day.
Bill Gates
The US spends more on energy R&D than all other countries put together, and I personally consider it quite inadequate.
Bill Gates
You have a meeting to make a decision, not to decide on the question.
Bill Gates
Kenya’s M-Pesa proves that when people are empowered, they will use digital tech to innovate on their own behalf.
Bill Gates
Training the workforce of tomorrow with today's high schools is like trying to teach kids about today's computers on a 50-year-old mainframe.
Bill Gates
Effective philanthropy requires a lot of time and creativity - the same kind of focus and skills that building a business requires.
Bill Gates
Certainly there's a phenomenon around open source. You know free software will be a vibrant area. There will be a lot of neat things that get done there.
Bill Gates
There are ecosystems like coral reefs [at risk] through ocean acidification. Those are valuable things that we should protect.
Bill Gates
At the end of the day, natural-gas peakers sit back there and get financed so that the Midwest corridor can have a huge [period] of four to five days of no wind. The peakers are running big time to make that up, because that is the swing piece that can always be turned on.
Bill Gates
One of the wonderful things about the information highway is that virtual equity is far easier to achieve than real-world equity...We are all created equal in the virtual world and we can use this equality to help address some of the sociological problems that society has yet to solve in the physical world.
Bill Gates
There's 20 companies that I have investments in - some batteries, some solar-thermal, one big nuclear thing. We need hundreds and hundreds of companies like that, so that in a 20-year time frame we really are starting to change the energy infrastructure.
