The world may need such people but the majority of the scientific population is very quick to ridicule them, and existing industries like oil do their best to prevent them from executing. So not only must the entrepreneur have a unique viewpoint on the problems but they must be very courageous too. I'm glad someone like Bill Gates is standing up and saying this but I'm anxious that it's too late, and that it won't be possible without big changes to the way our society is structured.

Get the politics right, and the technology will sort it self out. Don't get the politics right, and the technology doesn't have a chance. I'm also glad Gates has turned his attention to energy. 'Tis good to have someone of his resources and temperament focused on the problem.
