Musk is largely focused on funding carbon capture technologies, Gates is particularly bullish on nuclear energy, and Bezos has created a dedicated “Bezos Earth fund.” All of them believe that technology has a major role to play in tackling climate change and they’re doing their utmost to ensure they’re pushing the boundaries when it comes to climate tech.

Accolades to the staff in the Emergency Department at Whanganui Hospital. Recently I had an admission to Whanganui Hospital on an emergency basis. I would like to express my thanks to all of the staff involved with my care, which was professional and respectful.
