Bill Gates Explainer: A mind-blowing fact

Americans spend more on gas in a week than the government does on clean energy research in a year. Bill Gates does some back-of-the-envelope math to show how he arrived at that conclusion.

It’s nice seeing someone who doesn’t stretch out a video for extra ad revenue

[UndergroundBhangra]

$5billion on energy research
And $1 triillion on weapons and arms

[HarshRajAlwaysfree]

When you are so rich 1 billion dollars is a close approximation

I hope he gets more subs, i love seeing youtubers become succesful.

[chenmomo]

Everyone: Respect Bill Gates for not putting an ad

Me: He’s left-handed

[kevaljoshi-ky]

0:27 People are saying they're surprised by by Bill's left-handedness. I'm more surprised by the way he writes the blue text with telekinesis

[surajthakur]

Only Bill gates can say 5.7 B is close to 6.4 B

Rest of us will never watch this much money in over life (seperately)

[onlineealex]

This person has good analytical skills.. hope he finds a well paying job

[Gabriel-iqug]

Some people: energy research is important
Many people: OMG he is using his left

[pranavmoghe]

I love it when youtube recommends small creators to us so we can support them

[rusham.s]

The fact that everyone is caught up on how he didn't put ads and how rich he is, and not actually paying attention to what he is trying to say about our concern to the environment is

[sukhwindermukhi]

He is a lefty
Me
He is a billionaire....
Not me

0:06 I've never seen anyone write the letter "r" that way in my life. Well, then again, I've never seen anyone like Bill Gates.

[ThroughOurLensPodcast]

Gates you're left handed wow that's so interesting

[smashnboom]

When you realize the world's richest man is Lefty.

[adityakunchur]

His math is actually blowing my mind, out of frustration. He's comparing consumer spending and the US budget. US consumer spending is almost 13.3 trillion dollars a year, whereas the budget is only 4.5 trillion dollars. There's no wonder that the budget allocated to energy research will be marginally less compared to consumer spending. A better comparison would've been between the money the govt makes by levying taxes on gasoline and the money it spends on clean energy research.

amazing fact bill, I'll tell you a couple more for a small loan of a million dollars!

[jamesmansbridge]

I’m only found out he is a lefty ain’t that surprising?

[Amodmathapati]
