But, but, but, if the planet is Doomed unless we Do Something, this shouldn’t happen
Climate Group Funded by Bill Gates Slashes Staff in Major Retreat
Breakthrough Energy, an umbrella organization funded by Bill Gates that works on a sprawling range of climate issues, announced deep cuts to its operations in an internal memo on Tuesday.
Dozens of staff members were cut, including Breakthrough Energy’s unit in Europe, its team in the United States working on public policy issues and most of its employees working on partnerships with other climate organizations, according to three people familiar with the matter who were not authorized to speak publicly.
The change shows how Mr. Gates is retooling his empire for the Trump era. With Republicans controlling both houses of Congress and the White House, Mr. Gates calculated that the Breakthrough policy team in the United States was not likely to have a significant effect in Washington, said the people familiar with his thinking. The U.S. policy team was also one of the largest and most expensive parts of the organization.
So, why not talk directly to people, and entice them to change their own lives to match the needs of Saving The Planet? Was it more about getting Los Federales to force the peasants to live a certain life?
Instead of trying to influence policy, Mr. Gates is now focused on building clean energy companies through the Breakthrough Energy Catalyst program, Breakthrough Energy Ventures and the Breakthrough Energy Fellows, the people familiar with the matter said. Those efforts, which fund start-up companies and entrepreneurs working on a range of renewable technologies, were not affected by the cuts.
Companies, but, not actually building “clean energy”?
But on climate change, Mr. Gates has not been as outspoken. Like other billionaires and chief executives who once spoke up loudly about climate change, Mr. Gates went silent in the face of Mr. Trump’s early efforts to reduce federal support for clean energy, promote fossil fuels and dismantle the government programs aimed at addressing climate change.
So, it was really just climavirtue signalling, not any sort of real belief. Like most of the Elites. They talk the talk, do not walk the walk.
President Trump on Elon Musk: “It’s fantastic. Fantastic. He was a smart guy, you know, Tesla. First the light bulb and now this. He was like a modern day, er, Isaac Neutron. It’s remarkable, really.”
