Al Gore came out this week challenging America to produce of its energy from renewable resources and to accomplish that feat within the next ten years.
Al Gore has challenged America to make a "man on the moon" effort to produce all of the country's electricity from renewable resources such as solar and wind power within 10 years.Of course, Al and his posse showed up to this speech calling for Americans to change in a fleet of Super SUVs.
Mr Gore said the single most important policy change to speed up the transition would be the introduction of a tax on carbon dioxide pollution
Al didn't bother disclosing how he arrived at this summit. He also didn't bother disclosing any information about some of his investments. Here's an earlier report from The Big Feed:
Weeks before announcing a $300-million, three-year advertising campaign to raise awareness about global warming, Al Gore was conducting a slide show for a group of investors in Monterey, Calif., touting companies such as Bloom Energy, Amryis , Mascoma and other firms that are not household names -- yet.Let me break this down for you. Gore is old. At best, he's got 20 years left on this planet. A "ten year" turnaround for his self-interested investments to pay off would give him just enough time to enjoy all that money he's got sunk into this hoax.
These bio-fuel and green technology firms could be poised to take off, Gore told his audience. "Here are just a few of the investments I personally think make sense," he said during the March 1 presentation. "I have a stake in these so I'll have a disclaimer there."
Gore's admitted stake in those companies comes from his partnership in the venture capital firm, Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers (KPCB). Gore joined the firm last November, forging a partnership between KPCB and the London-based Generation Investment Management, a firm Gore chairs, and which steers investments in green and "sustainable" companies.
This month, KPCB announced it has invested $500 million into start-up "green growth" companies, and another $700 million into more established greentech, information technology and life science ventures.
And then there's yesterday's report of thousands of scientists saying there is no consensus on man-made global warming. All the more reason for Al to be stepping up his scare tactics. He and the other global warming disciples will be known as the witch hunters of our time.
And what of all the liberals like Nancy Pelosi who claim that new drilling in America is a "hoax" because it will take 10 years? Surely they're not about to jump on board this 10 year plan?

"captain", you may want to look at where the money for the advertising campaign came from. last checked, al put up a good chunk of it himself. so why would someone who wants to make money give up $s to a non-profit? are you suggesting he is giving away millions of dollars because he expects to make many multiples more from his green work? that would be pretty crafty but you dont seem to suggest he is capable of that. find something else to rant about.
gore always fails to inform the public where a bulk of his father's wealth was established--occidental petroleum.
gore buys 'carbon credits' from his own firm, as if such 'credits' even exists without his creation as effort to make money.
and the masses are clueless.
