San Francisco: Microsoft Co-Founder Bill Gates on Thursday said the climate fund will pour $ 1.5 billion into projects with the United States if the government imposes a program to cut carbon emissions that currently work through Congress.
The $ 1.2 trillion infrastructure package that was passed by the US Senate this week will distribute billions of dollars to the Department of Energy for projects that combat climate change.
If the infrastructure package becomes law, “this collaboration will not only send us on a lane that is more durable to zero clean, but will create direct and long-term work in the community throughout the country,” Gates said in a statement published by CNBC.
With funding work on the road, bridge and port, as well as clean water and high-speed internet, US President Joe Biden said the bill – who still needed home approval – would create thousands of high-paying jobs for people without undergraduate degrees.
“Historical investment in this infrastructure is what I believe, Americans, want,” said Biden at the address of the White House.
Need a simple majority, the package passed 69 votes up to 30 with support from a third of Senator Republic.
The size is now facing make-or-break voting on the House of Representatives in the next few weeks, where the future is less certain because the division has sprung up in the majority of democracy.
Ambitious plans provide $ 550 billion in new federal expenditures for transportation infrastructure, and also for public transport, broadband internet and clean water, as well as electrical charging stations and other steps to fight climate change.
The gateway run by the breakthrough energy company will spend $ 1.5 billion for three years with the aim of eliminating greenhouse gas emissions that contribute to climate change, according to US media reports.
The project can include airplanes that do not spit out pollution and technology to capture carbon from the air.
“It is important for all this climate technology is to reduce costs and to be able to suppress the giant level,” Gates was quoted as telling the Wall Street Journal.
“You will never get that scale unless the government comes with the right policy, and the right policy exactly what is in the infrastructure bill.”
