actually capitalism could save the planet... if capitalism still keeps making people poorer, and creating a tiny number of people with all the wealth, if most people couldn't afford to drive cars and buy meat, it could actually save the planet.

Look at the countries that emit the least amount of carbon, they are all the poorest countries. if capitalism continues make us all poor, then it might actually save the planet.

Try explaining it to us plebs oh enlightened one!

Maybe he had an epiphany... The Gates foundation is looking at solutions for issues facing us globally, could being faced with his own mortality have done that?
It's not anything that capitalists as a rule have an interest in, as alluded to.

He's sinking billions of "his own fortune" into green projects. I'm guessing it leaves him a couple of billion to fall back on. Happily, being rich beyond his wildest dreams has somehow made him all-wise. Good to know.

Nobody has suggested he is all wise, he is investing in the future rather than the present. It's not such an alien concept.

Well he's only saying that the government should create the incentives for entrepreneurs to invest in green energy, its not exactly controversial to suggest that abuses and inefficiency occur in an unregulated free market and private sector just as they do in the public one.
