Yes indeed... One thing that keeps my outlook positive is the fact that there are some extremely smart, rich people on this planet that are actually interested in education and clean technologies and not motivated only by greed. Bill Gates of Microsoft is one that comes to mind, and Elon Musk of Tesla Motors is another.
