Will Bill Gates save us?

So Windows may still have some glitches, but he can save the planet, right?

Bill Gates is doing amazing work on developing vaccines, and now it appears he may also turn his attention - and possibly some of his fortune - to developing energy solutions.

He raised eyebrows last year with his visit to the tar sands, one of the very worst energy sources if we are at all serious about stopping our atmosphere from deteriorating (and turning Northern Alberta into a toxic theme park).

So, it would be very helpful is someone as iconic as Bill Gates joined the fight against global warming in earnest.
