Bill Gates, known for co-founding Microsoft and his philanthropic efforts, called for better nuclear technology. Gates named climate change "the world's most vexing problem," and he set a deadline for the elimination of all carbon emissions by 2050. Advancing technology would make this goal much easier - the ability to turn 99% of spent uranium (nuclear waste, in other words) into energy would create a near limitless source of power. Large scale use of alternative energy would require better battery technology than is currently available. Gates believes that we need batteries 100x better.

Do you believe advanced, high concept tech advances such as these will be the answer to the world's energy problems?
