As you may have seen in Bill Gates’ TED talk entitled “Innovating to Zeroâ€, the goal of reducing the combined carbon emissions from human sources to a net of zero emissions will require significant innovation and invention. However, the achievement of the zero emission goal has a short time frame before global temperatures rise more than 2 degrees and climate change becomes potentially irreversible. So, Eric offers a corollary to Bill Gates’ postulation: “Innovating to Below Zeroâ€. Mr. McAfee is an entrepreneur, venture capitalist and philanthropist. He has founded and funded more than thirty companies in renewable energy, oil & gas, networking equipment, enterprise software, medical devices and agriculture through McAfee Capital, Cagan McAfee Capital Partners and Berg McAfee Companies.
