Dearest Grist Reader, What does the world's biggest philanthropist have to say about the climate crisis and renewable energy? Tune in to Grist tomorrow to find out. We'll be hosting exclusive livestream video of Bill Gates in a fireside chat (san fire) about climate change, clean-energy innovation, and how these issues affect hunger, disease, and poverty. Bill Gates, Microsoft chairman and co-chair of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, will join Climate Solutions Board Co-chair Jabe Blumenthal in a conversation about addressing climate change and increasing innovations in clean energy, and how these issues relate to addressing hunger, disease, and poverty. Tickets to the breakfast sold out faster than flapjacks at a Paul Bunyan convention, but the video feed is open to any and all. Come watch on Tuesday, May 10, 2011, at about 11:15 a.m. ET / 8:15 a.m. PT -- or come back anytime afterward to catch the replay. After you hear what Gates has to say, join a live-chat discussion about it. Grist's resident climate expert David Roberts will be talking it over with KC Golden of Climate Solutions, and taking your questions and comments. That's happening four hours after the Gates conservation, at 3:00 p.m. ET / 12:00 p.m. PT -- all on the same webpage, for maximum convenience! Can you beat that?
