A few spoken words by Al Gore

Al Gore is on the front lines of our energy crisis and global warming issues. I never really paid attention to him as a person until we started doing this assignment on "Energy". I just happened to get a magazine in the mail yesterday and low and behold it has him in it with a article by him on this whole "Energy crisis" thing. So I thought that it would be interesting to blog about what this man has to say in reference to our energy crisis, and what he thinks we as humans should do in this matter. In this article he starts by saying, "we as a nation, we are faced with three interrelated crises that collectively threaten our way of life: The climate crisis, the continuing economic crisis, and finally the security crisis" (Rethinking energy, ideas for the future).
It then goes on to state that three years ago he began a series of solution summits to bring together world leaders from government, science, engineering, agriculture, etc. It states that Al has held almost three dozen of these meetings. Those are some high numbers. "There is a common thread running between these three things. Our overreliance on carbon-based fuels. The fact that we are borrowing money from China to buy oil from out of the Persian Gulf and burn it in ways that destroy us and our planet. We as humans must change the source of our energy from dirty and expensive carbon-based fuels to clean energy from the sun, wind, and the earth itself" (Rethinking energy, ideas for the future). It almost sounds like Al is turning into a environmentalist. There is nothing wrong with that at all, at least he is willing to address the nations problems and the worlds as well. Hey, he was Vice President for eight years. I think this man knows what he is talking about. He has the knowledge of how this country works from a political stand point, and he has money as well. He is not as rich as Bill Gates, but I know this man is not hurting like other Americans.
