Bill Gates
I'm not an educator ... I'm a learner.
Bill Gates
It is a high bar to say that it's more fun than working on software because the work at Microsoft that both Melinda [Gates] and I did was thrilling. We were making breakthroughs and empowering people.
Bill Gates
Technology is unlocking the innate compassion we have for our fellow human beings.
Bill Gates
I love nuclear. It does this radiation thing that's tricky. But they're good solutions. You know, it was interesting recently, in Connecticut this natural gas plant blew up 11 guys. It just blew them up.
Bill Gates
The most interesting biofuel efforts avoid using land that's expensive and has high opportunity costs. They do this by getting onto other types of land, or taking advantage of byproducts that aren't used in the food chain today, or by intercropping.
