But Mr. Gates said the "intermittency" of solar and wind makes it unviable, compared with other sources like nuclear energy and new technologies for storage.
Improved energy storage systems: The sun and the wind are incredible energy sources. Finding ways to store that energy to use after the sun sets and the wind stops blowing is a big challenge we need to solve.
When you hear about this problem with wind and solar, it is tempting to ask: Can''t we generate extra energy on days when the sun and wind are strong, and store it for those days when they''re not? Here''s the problem:
The firm''s CO2 battery technology enables 24/7 dispatchable solar and wind power, advancing energy storage and supporting global grid decarbonization with long-duration storage solutions.

Bill Gates highlights the three key solutions needed for the transition to clean electricity: improving energy storage, transmission lines, and power sources.
A letter from Bill Gates about the state of the clean energy transition in 2023 and why he''s optimistic about the road ahead.
A venture backed by Bill Gates has unveiled small-scale nuclear power-plus-storage technology designed to work alongside wind and solar to provide continuous zero-carbon power.

It''s time to redirect government subsidies supporting solar and wind farms toward clean technologies that can''t yet compete on their own, according to Bill Gates.
