Consider me enthusiastically excited about the Gates (and many others) Breakthrough Energy Coalition. I’ve been outspoken that Gates needs to focus on deployment of technology and not R&D and here is the key passage that makes my excited, “private investors that will take the risks that allow the early stage energy companies that emerge from the research programs.” Gates is not alone in this endeavor, he is joined by Bezos, Doerr, Zuckerberg, Khosla and many others that bring a plethora of experience. Let’s see who runs it and where it goes, plus more coverage from Paris this week.
