Gates delivered one of the most-viewed TED talks in the organization's history, titled 'Innovating to Zero.' He argued that achieving net-zero carbon emissions required a complete energy revolution, not incremental efficiency gains, and introduced his energy 'miracle' framework — the need for a new generation of technologies across electricity generation, transportation, buildings, industry, and agriculture. The talk introduced tens of millions of viewers to systems-level thinking about climate and energy, and directly preceded Gates's public advocacy for nuclear power through TerraPower, his Breakthrough Energy investments, and his 2021 book 'How to Avoid a Climate Disaster.' It has since accumulated over 45 million views.
