While I don't agree with everything Gore is preaching, I think he's doing it for the right reasons...

And I do give him some credit for the short-term direction change in parts of the energy industry and our government.

A very good point about time you made sense. My folks sailed around the world in a 40 footer and they told me there was trash everywhere. In the Altlantic, Pacific, Souht Seas, Indian Ocean. EVERYWHERE!!!!. The other thing they said that 90% of the worlds population is dirt poor. An the US is the biggest tool on the planet, we use up everything, everywhere.
