Submission + - Gates and MS: Not Eye-to-Eye on CO2 Impact (publicola.net)
Sam Machkovech writes: "Bill Gates' speech at last week's TED Conference centered on "moving to zero-carbon energy, and our need to reduce CO2 emissions 80% by 2050." His choice of subject was an abrupt turn from The Gates Foundation's typical humanitarian topics, but he insisted that energy innovation is as crucial to his Foundation's goals. A move by Microsoft today proves that Gates' old company has less interest in that carbon-neutral goal, as MS has begun rallying against a bridge redesign that would result in more bus and transit options for commuters between Seattle and the company's homebase of Redmond, WA."
