Bill Gates' TED talk on climate

[tinrobot]

It was just posted on the TED site, thought everyone would want to watch:

At TED2010, Bill Gates unveils his vision for the world's energy future, describing the need for "miracles" to avoid planetary catastrophe and explaining why he's backing a dramatically different type of nuclear reactor. The necessary goal? Zero carbon emissions globally by 2050.

You may or may not agree with his pitch for nuclear, but his reasons for getting to zero emissions make a lot of sense.

1. His nuclear "Blue Screen Of Death" is not a miracle,

2. But he does own the patent...

3. I just hope it has fewer freeze ups than my Vista OS.

Gen IV could be good.
