The return on investments in climate change technologies will be comparable to the returns on investments in the largest technology companies of our time. Microsoft founder Bill Gates told about this way to get rich. CNBC…
Bill Gates said that in the field of technologies that are fighting climate change, there may be analogues of modern IT giants. “There will be eight Tesla, ten Tesla. And today only one of these companies is well known, ”he said. According to Gates, companies similar to Microsoft, Google and Amazon will appear, only in the field of green technologies.
Moreover, the last three corporations are now among the largest companies in the world. The American electric car maker Tesla is the youngest of the companies named by Gates, its value is 881.96 billion dollars, its shares have doubled in the past year, and in five years – more than 2 thousand percent. “Everyone who has invested in Tesla feels very smart,” Gates said. Therefore, in his opinion, still little-known companies will show impressive results in the long term.
The situation in the field of “green” technologies at the moment, Gates compared with “the early days of the computer industry and software.” Therefore, technologies that will contribute to the fight against climate change will allow investors to make good money. At the same time, he warned that a lot of invested funds would also be lost, by analogy (https://lenta.ru/news/2021/09/22/greeninvest/) with The dot-com bubble (the ruin of Internet companies from 1995 to 2000). Gates noted that most of the new technologies are “at the laboratory level,” and investors need to be careful when assessing their economic viability. Many projects will require large investments before they can be proven to work. Air carbon capture technology, as well as hydrogen power and low-carbon aviation fuels, are difficult to predict.
Bill Gates warned that the failure rate will be high, but today there are enough ideas with the chances of significant success, especially with the right support from governments. He advised investors who want to invest money, but are afraid of high risk, to participate in the financing of solar energy.
Bill Gates himself has previously raised hundreds of millions of dollars to develop clean technologies that could play a key role in saving the planet. For example, Breakthrough Energy, a non-profit organization founded by the billionaire in 2016, received investments from seven large American companies. The amount of funds raised has not been disclosed, but, according to analysts, it could reach $ 1 billion.
