Bill Gates would like people to switch from gasoline cars to electric cars on their way to reducing greenhouse gas emissions altogether. – They are quieter, do not cause local pollution, and their day-to-day maintenance is much simpler – noted the co-founder of Microsoft and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation in an interview with Piotr Kraśka (TVN24) and Dorota Wysocka-Schnepf (“Gazeta Wyborcza”). The interview is available on TVN24 GO.

Co-founder of Microsoft and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, philanthropist Bill Gates in 2015 warned the world against the possibility of a global pandemic. Today – including in his latest book “How to save the world from a climate catastrophe. Solutions we already have, the changes we need” – he warns that if we do not achieve zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050, the world will face a climatic catastrophe.

– I insist on spending on research and technology development, I start new companies with new ideas and I try to involve the entire private sector. Electric cars are better not only because they do not emit greenhouse gases: they are quieter, they do not cause local pollution and their day-to-day maintenance is much simpler, said Bill Gates. – With this type of solutions, we have a chance for a better world as a whole. However, we will have to invest a lot to move from where we are now to this greener world, ‘he added.
