Gigaom: We need “energy miracles,” or break through innovation, in at least five areas, and in each of these areas “we need at least two hundred crazy people who think their idea alone can solve this,” said Bill Gates at the Wall Street Journal’s Eco:nomics conference on Thursday night. In a 30-minute interview on the second night of the three day event, Gates discussed innovation in carbon capture, nuclear, biofuels, and clean power like solar and wind, and provided his thoughts on carbon taxes, politics and government funding.
Speaking about Elon Musk's managerial style, Bill Gates claims that it is aggravating digital polarization.
He followed up by saying that people should 'have an open mind.'
“If you have less money than Elon, you should probably watch out,” says Gates.
