I could see Deere developing electric tractors. They probably are already. Not sure about the others.His significant ownership of CRN (14%), Ecolab (25%) and Deere & Co (10%) shows what a hypocrite he is.
*CRN is a massive CO2 emitter that hauls tons of coal and oil to be turned into more CO2.
*Ecolab provides water treatment services to all kinds of massive CO2 emitters (steel mills, coal & nat. gas fired powerplants, oil refineries, etc...).
*Deere makes internal combustion engines and turbines.
If Gates was the true climate warrior that he claims to be, he should have divested in these holdings the very moment he went on his crusade to halt global warming.
The Greens should be having a field day with him but not a peep. Same goes for Buffet and Berkshire Hathaway.
From CRN website: At Coronado, we are focused on extracting high quality metallurgical coal in an environmentally responsible way.I could see Deere developing electric tractors. They probably are already. Not sure about the others.
I've heard horror stories about divorce lawyers milking people too, but it seems like the thing that drives that is mutual spite from the parties to fight for every little thing -- the raw emotion you'd get from an actual relationship breaking up. I'd be willing to bet that the gates have been basically just a corporate partnership for a while.
I'm not saying any of these companies are doing good for the environment, but every single old-energy type companies (oil, etc.) are investing heavily in renewable technology. All of them. Why wouldn't they promote that?Yes, they are all slowly working towards those goals while being funded by massive CO2 generation.
I wonder what the carbon foot print of that battery pack is? How many refineries, power plants, steel mills, etc... does Ecolab(Nalco) sell water treatment chemicals to? CRN not only mines coal, but they transport tons of it and oil plus tons of other nasty chemical with CO2 belching locomotives.
These guys make it look pretty with their Green "Initiatives" and PR campaigns but at the end of the day, they are huge polluters that never get called on it.
I get all of that. It's the do as I say not as I do attitude of the largest stake holders of those companies that I take issue with. I expect these companies to what they are doing and the smartest ones will time their shifts right at the moment they run out of one resource just as the next one is ripe for exploitation.I'm not saying any of these companies are doing good for the environment, but every single old-energy type companies (oil, etc.) are investing heavily in renewable technology.

Marketing that angle makes good biz sense, and investing heavily in it makes even better sense. These co know eventually everything is sliding that direction, and they will find ways to continue to profit from any energy usage.
Certainly one can't expect a 100+ year old billion dollar company to stop operations or make the switch entirely to renewable over night, simply because it seems like the right thing to do.
Apparently the first program he wrote commercially was when he was in high school and did some scheduling software. He wrote it so he would have easy Fridays and was in classes with all the hot chicks.
It's safe to say there was low/no sexual dimorphism in that relationship and they always struggled over gender roles.Was Melinda always a woman? Because with a different haircut, she looks like she could be managing the Seattle Mariners.
Oh my god that might have actually been a factor!?Wonder if that had anything to do with the divorce?
