How is his post moronic? Warren Buffet is vested in rail carriers. The pipeline would simply hurt the use of rail cars for oil transportation. If you fail to see the political connections/contributions/favors these guys pull you are putting you head in the sand.

I wonder if Bill Gates flies when he travels. I wonder if he flies private....

Awesome. I hope he is successful and gets a great ROI. I also hope that money doesn't go towards bribing politicians and govt officials but I guess time will tell.

That is silly, he is supposed to punished because the tech isn't there yet?
He is aiming to make clean energy affordable. Agree or disagree about climate change or whatever, I am not sure how you can possibly think a private investor doing this is a bad thing.

So he just disregards loins because of OS X Loin. What a fricking a-hole!

Don't tell that to all the far right wing bomb throwers on the poli board - they'll insist that Gates is "naive" and a "liberal puppet"
Then SFP the expert on every fricking thing known to man will pipe in about how Germany is "floundering" with their new energy initiatives. We literally just had this same debate at 7am - glad Billy boy has
We are decades away from anything resembling affordable clean energy. Solyndra proved that.

Private investors can do whatever the frick they want. The government owes all of us for the previously mentioned Solyndra

Bill Gates
That man is 59 years old and his net worth is $79.3 billion.
If he started working at 16 (43 years), he'd have averaged:
$1.84 billion a year.
$5.05 million a day.
$210,379 an hour.
$3,506 a minute.
$58.44 a second, every second for 43 years.
He could literally take a s#!t, wipe his arse with a $100 bill, and come out richer by the time he finished.
Anyways, pretty generous of him, not out of the ordinary for him either.

Wind and solar energy are not necessarily very affordable now. Natural gas is the best we've got

His money. No care.

I wish he would donate just a million or two to me

They had all sorts of money from the govt handout, still couldn't make it work. You figure it out.

Bad move, he'll lose his investment. The government doesn't want clean energy, that's the only reason we don't have it yet.

He can give everybody in the country 5 million and it wouldn't even be 1/70 of what he has

Good. I understand that oil has been vital to human progress, but drilling billions of gallons and oil a year and burning it into the atmosphere seems like a pretty stupid thing to be doing...
