One year after a powerhouse group of technology executives and venture capital icons met to form the Breakthrough Energy Coalition, the group, led by Microsoft founder Bill Gates, has launched a $1 billion investment fund to support clean energy startups around the world. The Breakthrough Energy Fund, chaired by Gates, is designed to jumpstart an entire new generation of entrepreneurs developing radical new approaches to providing reliable and low-cost energy, with zero carbon emissions as the end goal.
To avoid human extermination in a decade, we may have to replace 80% of fossil fuels within 5 years. The need for emergency action has largely been ignored. The Gates program seems unaware.
Revolutionary 24/7 solar powered engines, scalable to 100,000 Hp, are headed for pilot plant production in 2017. A converted Ford engine running without fuel proved the concept.
Since there is no combustion, these engines can be made of polymers using 3-D printing.
Development and pilot plant production need to be accomplished on a 24/7 basis. To learn more see the website: aesopinstitute.org
