10Years - Al Gore
Watch highlights of Al Gore’s recent speech about our need to switch from fossil fuel based electricity production to green carbon free electricity (solar, wind, geothermal) in only 10 years. Note: He talked about carbon free “electricity,” not “energy” and therefore left out transportation and focused on buildings and industry mostly. (The media is missing this point.) This is our country’s next Apollo project! A huge leap for mankind.
While this is going on, we must also make huge steps in energy efficiency in our homes, offices, factories, schools, and overall economy. One such step: reforming the way many companies pitch their products via glossy sales catalogs - a dirty process that uses 61 million trees a year, 1.4 million homes worth of energy, while pluffing out 24 billion pounds of CO2 and heating up our planet…all to make catalogs that 98% of customers do not use.To watch the full 27 minutes speech, click here.
