At the recent TED (Technology, Entertainment, Design) Conference in Long Beach, California, Microsoft founder Bill Gates stressed the importance of clean energy sources. He even went as far as to say that developing clean energy sources is more important than developing vaccines, a cause to which he has donated billions of dollars. Gates said that there are 5 key areas where research and development should be focused:
- Carbon capture
- Storage technology
- Nuclear
- Wind
- Solar photovoltaics and solar thermal power
