climate-change skeptic: A year ago, the co-founder of Microsoft Corp. started the Breakthrough Energy Coalition, whose members include Mark Zuckerberg, George Soros and Richard Branson, with a commitment to invest in new types of energy, according to The Japan Times. Monday announcement comes less than a week after President-elect Donald Trump announced he will nominate the attorney general of Oklahoma, a climate-change skeptic, to lead the Environmental Protection Agency. Bill Gates said the fund plans to make its first investments next year and run for 20 years. The fund, however, was in the works long before the election. Gates is the chairman of a group of 20 investors who call their fund Breakthrough Energy Ventures. It is the investing venture of a coalition formed in November 2015.
