Bill Gates has so far invested 2 billion dollars in the development of clean technologies, primarily in electricity generation and storage. Gates thinks getting to zero emissions by 2050 is challenging but doable.

We at Ecorite, commend Mr. Gates for his efforts in promoting green and clean technologies.
