Mark Zuckerberg, Jeff Bezos, Jack Ma and Richard Branson have joined Bill Gates to invest massively in a fund to support renewable energy.
During the summit UN Climate Change in Paris, Bill Gates challenged technology leaders to jointly set up an investment fund for the development of a new green technology with the aim of increasing energy production (clean) in the world, especially in countries poorest.
Over the past week, came news that Bill Gates would be preparing a multi-million dollar fund to invest in renewable energy. Now, in addition to Gates’ investment, the cause is supported by major technology leaders like Mark Zuckerberg, Jeff Bezos, Jack Ma and Richard Branson.
This background million will be used to develop a new green technology It will increase the production of energy worldwide, without contributing to global warming and the main target, the underdeveloped countries.
Currently, over one billion people live without access to basic services of world energy.
This is a high-risk investment that not all investors are willing to take. There is already much public money to be invested in this area, but these technology leaders consider it even more necessary investment in equal proportion to the public, by private companies. There are, both parties willing to work together in this cause.
The private sector knows how to build companies, to assess the potential for success, and take the risks that run to apply in the real world innovative ideas.
Both the storage such as the production and management of energy efficiency are areas of technology that will be the target of this giant investment.
