Microsoft founder Bill Gates has offered to give USD 1.5 billion into projects aimed at helping the climate if the US government decides to adopt a program to cut carbon emissions which is currently with the COngress. The US Senate passed a USD 1.2 trillion infrastructure package few days ago and the policy is aimed at providing billions of dollars to the Department of Energy for projects focused on climate change. "This historic investment in infrastructure is what I believe you, the American people, want," Biden said in a White House address. According to reports, a Bill Gates fund run by his Breakthrough Energy company is planning to spend USD 1.5 billion in order to eliminate greenhouse gas emissions contributing to climate change. "You'll never get that scale up unless the government's coming in with the right policies, and the right policy is exactly what's in that infrastructure bill," he added.
