"… Bill says we need an energy miracle, pronto. And he is right. All problems fade to insignificance when you recognize that solving those problems requires energy. A lot of it. Some sources of energy carry a lot of risk. Others have yet to be developed, but developing them will require spending what little we have. I like Bill Gates more now that he has become a benefactor of humanity rather than a titan of industry. He doesn’t seem cranky anymore. And yet, for a brief moment when his slide wasn’t showing, his face darkened and he became quite obviously a man who is accustomed to getting precisely what he wants. I guess that’s why he used to be cranky. At any rate, I hope Bill Gates gets exactly what he wants: an energy miracle."
