Bill Gates On Clean Energy, Donald Trump, And Stocks (Full Interview) | Squawk Box | CNBC

[@ianoneill5905]

Bill Gates is a class act and always trying to move in an positive way regardless if he likes trump or not

[@learningsuper6785]

Yeah. Even if he dislikes Trump, making it apparent does no good to him whatsoever.

[@davidfrimpong1531]

Ian O'Neill Haha! you also noticed..

[@Harihar_Patel]

Warren Buffett should be president, Bill Gates should be Vice President and Charlie Munger should be Secretary of State.

[@jackob9658]

Class act.. are you kidding? He shut down every budding OS company with barbaric practices and through forced attrition we got the two inferior products of windows and mac. He held back technology by decades for greed. He is experimenting on the poor population of other countries with his drugs to make more money. The guy is a globalist and a shill for the the communist UN..

[@annly572]

Tom, Bill Gates speaks, teaches and works towad a better world and has for years.The Gates Foundation, and charity will get the Gates money when they die. Along with Warren Buffett, 19 other Billionaires have signed agreements to give their money to charity when they pass. Selfish people don't do that.

[@step30dub]

I feel like I am missing something here why are the majority of comments about liberals being butthurt or angry? and not about our environment or clean energy? I just want people to understand stand no matter what part of the aisle your on this is an important issue simply denying it or saying liberal are mad is not going to change the fact that global warming is happening.

[@tomsherman2350]

gates is heavily invested in monsanto and the like. gates is a fake he is a major polluter and resources consumer himself. his house is as big as a battleship -uses 500,000 board feet of lumber. he is just out to make more money for himself not serve the public. it would be allright if in the process his investments serve the public but energy wise and pollution wise they won't as the answer to pollution and energy use is to stop consumption of most goods, & products not increase energy production itself. that involves social action not innovation. gates and microsoft were considerd highly non creative by computer insiders as all microsoft did was issue different versions of not very good not very different overpriced software year after year. microsoft was a vicious and monopolistic company that sued and threatened lawsuits against any competitor. they tied their browser to their operating system so they could monopolize the browser market and were sued by the government for doing it.

[@yolodaswagg]

The amount of question-baiting the interviewer was using to try to get Gates to slander Trump was very obvious and obnoxious. Gates has the mentality of "agree or disagree we must move forward," unlike the childish "I hate trump" perspective of the mainstream media.

[@Devonellah]

It's because she knows with who Trump has appointed to his cabinet that he won't be on board with what Gates is proposing. Bill Gates is very diplomatic. Probably the best poker player you will ever see - that's why he is ahead of the game.

[@GoSaltLakeWeb]

Well first off there are more reasons than just climate change rumors to invest in alternative energies. Trump is very interested in us not being dependent in foreign oil resources.

[@apolloscrow3686]

She isn't baiting. She is asking legitimate questions about the political hurdles that exist when legislators, federal department heads, and the POTUS himself disbelieve in anthropogenic climate change and continue to push a fossil fuels agenda.

[@nickkey6028]

For the record, Bill Gates did politely call Trump not very informed.

[@johnny_eth]

I'm quite sure Gates will manage to convince Trump about many of his clean energy projects, as means to drive american jobs and reducing dependency on foreign oil.

[@jacobfetzer715]

There's nothing wrong with clean energy, but let it become cheap and economically viable by its own innovation, rather than forcing it on people by taxing existing sources of energy which are vastly cheaper and more efficient. I'm sure the work that Bill Gates is doing will help this process and I have no doubt that clean energy will be the norm in the not too distant future, but there is nothing wrong with fossil fuels, they've been good enough to take us from the agrarian age to the superb standard of living we enjoy today. No modern luxury would be possible without petroleum. Show me a militant opponent of the oil industry, and I'll show you someone who has no idea how awesome their life is because of petroleum.

[@Mkoivuka]

Great thoughts, only problem is that it's not exactly fair. We are already subsidizing these industries with tax money, so money invested to move to clean energy is not new money, it's existing money that is already being spent, being spent differently.

[@mindfulsentinel8086]

Fast Frets there are tradeoffs with everything. Yes, petroleum have provided us with the ability to do more work. However, it has also contributed a great deal of environmental, ethical, and moral hazard. You sound educated so I am sure that you remember the history of leaded gasoline, which was eventually made unleaded by law. The industry fought very hard to keep lead from being replaced as an additive, even though company execs were exposing themselves and their own children with lead oxides. Let's not even begin to discuss the first gulf war, which was literally fought over gasoline drilling, using the military as an industrial externality, and to some degree the perpetual wars we have fought thereafter.

[@skipcercelletta6659]

try telling your city that you want to go 100% solar and see what happens, green is just a big line of mental masturbation.

[@seanz6586]

Got news for you Fast Frets....sometimes it takes government support to nurture industries. Even Toyota was supported by Japan to help become the powerhouse it is today. If you want to take the money out of clean energy support, I want to take my money out of the war fund to "support our interests" in oil.

[@stevenstoffers4669]

the really big money.... hedge fund money, Silicon Valley financing.... stuff like that. the Fed's conjured up money is just barely enough to cover the crowding out of finance through the normal banking channels because of rising entitlements (Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security). but we really do need private fundings... for breakthroughs... because in 2015 thru 2016 we went past a "tipping point"..... not in Climate.... in the consensus amoung our scientists and political leadership. it's real obvious. in the 2016 runup the whole Climate thing was severely toned down. it only came up a few times because otherwise it would have been way too obvious. there are still remnants of the old "Climate debate"... in the same way that if the DPRK was disbanded there would still be some folks running around.... literally for years... upset of even still crying over the absence of Kim Jung Un. believe me. India is a big place and very very poor. It cannot be denied air conditioning, cars, aviation.... let alone most westerners. the Climate is so serious that without India... and even if we stop what we are doing.. we can't stop a "mindblowing" mapping of effects, as Bill Gates put it a few weeks ago and Donald J. Trump knows all too well. his appointments have no meaning. the US government has $20 trillion in public debt just as the Baby Boomer entitlement spending is taking off. it is already crowding out capital investment in the normal banking/public market mechanism. only venture money and private funding... can mitigate the mapping of emissions to effects.

[@stevenstoffers4669]

listen to Gates at about 44 minutes into the Caltech thing.... it's the end all and be all on Climate.. after hearing the word "mindblowing" from Bill Gates himself, a very cool cookie when it comes to Climate... you can set the whole climate thing to the side.. unless you are under age 40 or so.

Been 50 years and no fusion, but it should be the answer....

[@bigvic0484]

Matthew Suffidy I agree

[@CNordy]

It took us 50 years to figure out fission and making it safer, less expensive, and more reliable. Fusion is tougher because it's more complex and only works in small reactors in university settings currently. It takes more energy to start the reaction than it outputs, so until they do more research to develop the technology, it won't become available for commercial use.

[@skipcercelletta6659]

saferrrrr, right. like TMI, FUKUSHIMA NUKE DISASTER, CHERNOBYL??? at which safer do you infer?

[@MatthewSuffidy]

I think fusion could be made safe, but once the way has been found it could probably also be used to make bombs though.

Fusion, if made energy positive, is intrinsically very safe. There are no radioactive components. Additionally, there all already fusion bombs: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermonuclear_weapon.

Fusion if we could ever get it to work & that's unlikely, would only produce electricity, it would produce NONE of the raw materials we now get from fossil resources & those raw materials have become essential for our existence. I suspect that fusion will forever be 10 years in the future just as it has been for decades now.

Thank You very much for the support that I have from You! from Haegeman Antoine from Huizingen (Belgium)

[@igorflexus9493]

Bill Gates.. not a stupid...

[@4Greyhounds]

A scion of the ruling class, Figure it out. If he were not born to the First Interstate Banking fortune, nobody would have ever heard of him. A 'C' student dropout, born with a guarantee of success. If you actually listen to what he says here, you might notice that, in his scheme, we pay to develop technology to make him and his partners even more money.

[@bitphr3ak]

+4Greyhounds - Back to your ghetto you proletariat worker, the decisions makers are talking....

[@biancapierce639]

4Greyhounds I agree that he is only interested in making money for himself. Did you see the gleeful smile he had when he mentioned Trump removing regulations.

[@petteral94]

Biannca Pierce except he donated most of his wealth to charity..

[@4Greyhounds]

Petter As long as you limit your definition of charity to a perpetual tax avoidance scheme, he did. If OTOH, you look at the actual numbers, the illusion falls apart. Charitable Foundations are just the new name for the trusts.

[@PAlex-us4ov]

The big issue is that the rate of energy production using alternative energy sources will never keep up with the demands of an exponentially growing world population. Many of these 'energy' companies know this but they are most happy to drain any investment money that comes their way. Meanwhile the 'consumer' pays taxes to governments that waste money on alternative energy schemes and suffers continual price increases on energy bills. Part of the solution must be energy waste minimization and ensuring all consumer products operate at a low notional power level. This includes motor vehicles and industry, which use a high proportion of energy.

[@shatley123]

That smile though when he said the President Elect is very sophisticated.

[@ljdean1956]

We have a generation of "Can't dos" who cannot see potential technical solutions to current engineering problems. According to them, nothing is possible beyond what we already have. Just take a tour of space related You tube vids and one can find moon landing deniers, even space flight deniers. Not to mention flat earthers who are "Can't do" types by virtue of the fact they seem to think we somehow had the science to do the things we've done since Biblical times and yet, we cannot figure out the shape of the Earth. FErs tend to be moon landing/spaceflight deniers so they do not accept any space imagery. So it's no surprise to me that we cannot get past big oil as our energy solution. We should have initiated some sort of program to phase out fossil fuels at the end of the 1970s! No wonder many folks do not see the US as a world leader anymore.

[@EastwardTraveller]

I agree with most everything you've said but I also think it's dangerous to tackle problems with a mindset that EVERYTHING has an "engineering solution". We're decimating the ecological foundations of life on this planet. Engineering alone won't be able to accommodate nature to a world economy that's basically doubling every 35 years. We have to reduce our footprint somehow, and it will have to come in part by behavioural changes on our part. If we rely solely on engineering solutions we're basically waging a war on nature itself and we might see an eventual end to nature.

[@tomsherman2350]

i know we need a depression said and published that view in the paper over 40 years ago. call it negative growth.

[@EastwardTraveller]

Tom Sherman I don't know if you're being sarcastic or not but yes, a managed de-growth of the global economy. The scope of trade and cooperation between nations should increase but the scale should decrease. We have it within our means to increase our technological progress and standard of living for everyone while also reducing our ecological footprint. But it's never going to happen...

[@RaphaelDIY]

Lower You Electric Bill With Old As Mother Earth Technology I, Have So Can Everyone "Can Do"

[@ljdean1956]

Kurt Coleman: I agree with what your saying and I should have clarified engineering solution a little better. The main argument for me is the "Can't does" who advocate Moon/space hoaxes and flat Earth advocacy. That is, they do not accept Apollo was possible. Some do not even accept satellites! And flat earth advocates do not accept a spherical Earth, preferring instead to believe humanity only advanced to Biblical times when it comes to Earths shape but accepts most other engineering because they have no choice since it's right in their face. To underscore your point on reliance solely on engineering solutions that could screw up the planet. I'm not an advocate of terraforming another planet because as I've often said, were already doing that with Earth and we don't know what the results of that little experiment are going to be but it does not look good.

***** Markets could care less about American interest. Markets hold little concern about ANY nation's interests. Markets only care about ONGOING CONCERN (staying in business), CAPITALIZATION, SALES REVENUE and PROFIT. The assumption of the free market in America is that the American Taxpayer will protect it from geopolitical instability through military strength.

Bill, $3 billion is needed to build a thorium liquid salts cooled reactor....similar to the one at Oak Ridge 50 years ago. Government approval will be required since it is nuclear. This test reactor will prove or disprove the viability and desirability of a thorium reactor. There is enough thorium to power earth for a couple of centuries. Thanks a million Bill.

[@albertoromero6668]

Bernie is A Democratic Socialist. Learn the difference.

[@jmatt98]

Alberto Romero the difference is he pretends to be a Democrat while he is actually a socialist. That is the only way he can get close to being elected.

[@albertoromero6668]

Jmatt He ran as a Democrat to get elected but even when he is no longer a part of the Party he is still a DEMOCRATIC Socialist. There is a yuuuuuuuge difference between Democratic Socialism and a centrally planned economy.

Gates walked by me once about 15 years ago at a restaurant. If I knew then what I know now about him, I would’ve taken one for the team. I know people can’t go back in time to end Hitl… I mean Gates, but it’s always important to identify missed opportunities

That's what investors should do, not the government.

[@TheEvdebbs]

There's no such thing. Show us a "successful" capitalism without a class of wretchedly poor people and a Nanny State that ignores them to bail out corporations and investors, subsidize them, give them tax breaks, remove any limitations are their rapacious and callous behaviour.... among other things. Every investor made his cash off the backs of hard workers doing hard work, there is no other source of wealth... a billionaire is a person who can use and dispose of millions of dollars without blinking, because he knows that a million dollars is the equivalent of 44 years of hard work in this country, and only much longer in many others. That actual people have to endure this injustice does not matter one bit, "capitalism" requires a surplus army of disposable, desperate workers in order for it to "work" and create billions for a few...

Innovation is what makes America great, in the past, in the present, and certainly in the future. This is not limited to technology alone. Innovation in social and environmental justice have made America great overall. Climate change and clean energy go hand-in-hand and is imperative that leaders and citizens take on finding solutions together, starting today.
