going to talk today about energy and climate. And that might
seem a bit surprising because my full-time work at the
Foundation is mostly about vaccines and seeds, about the things
that we need to invent and deliver to help the poorest two
billion live better lives. But energy and climate are extremely
important to these people -- in fact, more important than to
anyone else on the planet. The climate getting worse means that
many years, their crops won't grow: There will be too much rain,
not enough rain, things will change in ways that their fragile
environment simply can't support. And that leads to starvation,
it leads to uncertainty, it leads to unrest. So, the climate
changes will be terrible for them. Also, the price of energy is
very important to them. In fact, if you could pick just one
thing to lower the price of, to reduce poverty, by far you would
pick energy. Now, the price of energy has come down over time.
