“Renewable fuels - sun, wind, geothermal - are free; they’re not traded on the global market so they are not subject to huge spikes in price. This is the kind of economic security American families want and deserve.”
- Hon. Al Gore
Former Vice President of the United States
July 17, 2008
Whew! The summer of 2008 has been an historic one and it’s only half-over!
Amidst all the bad news, people around the United States and on every continent are paying attention to Al Gore in numbers never seen, even when he was Vice President of the United States. Through the We Campaign which he founded and I featured here back in April, more than a million people have signed a new online commitment to fight global warming. Not bad for just a few months’ time!
Well, back in mid-July, Mr. Gore announced a new challenge, focused on a huge source of pollution which will derive many ancillary benefits from reform of its greenhouse gas emissions, the generation of electricity in the United States.
Given in partnership with WeCanSolveIt.org, this historic call to action was chock full of Al Gore environment quotes, including the one above. The event has marked a turning point in our battle against global warming and the beginning of a new mobilization of hundreds of thousands of people, including elected officials, to grapple with humanity’s greatest generational challenge in centuries.
