Deep
staffing cuts were made at Breakthrough Energy, according to an
internal memo sent in the umbrella organization funded by Bill
Gates
that concentrates on a wide range of climate issues, The New York Times reported Wednesday.
Gates,
a co-founder of Microsoft and one of the richest men in the world, has invested
billions of dollars from his own fortune to combat climate change. In the
past decade he has established himself as one of the leading voices in
encouraging businesses and governments to get on board.
The
cutbacks at Breakthrough Energy demonstrate how Gates is adapting his
efforts for the reality of the Trump administration, as the Breakthrough
policy team in the U.S. was not likely to have much effect in Washington,
according to three people familiar with the matter who were not authorized to
speak publicly, the Times reported.
The
team in the U.S., which works on public policy issues, was heavily hit by the
cuts, as was Breakthrough Energy's unit in Europe and most of its employees
working on partnerships with other climate organizations.
But
when asked about the cuts, a Gates spokeswoman insisted that he
"remains as committed as ever to advancing the clean energy innovations
needed to address climate change. His work in this area will continue and is
focused on helping drive reliable affordable, clean energy solutions that will
enable people everywhere to thrive."
The
sources said that instead of attempting to influence policy, Gates has turned
his focus to building clean energy companies through the Breakthrough Energy
Catalyst program, Breakthrough Energy Ventures and the Breakthrough Energy
Fellows, according to The New York Times.
The
cuts in the company reportedly did not affect those areas, which fund
start-up companies and entrepreneurs working on a range of renewable
technologies.
The
emphasis on clean energy production could be in line with Trump's interest in
"American energy dominance," as his administration says it wants to
expand U.S. energy production at a time when demand for electricity is rising
sharply.
