We could’ve had a world-class environmentalist as president in 2000. This will turn out to be - in fact it already is turning out to be - one of the great tragedies in American history.
The fossil fuel industry's hold over our political and financial systems blocks ambitious action on the climate crisis at every turn. We can't afford to put their false solutions ahead of a just transition to clean energy. Learn why in my latest @TEDTalks. ted.com/talks/al_gore_what_t…

A nation that is ruled by money is not a government, it’s a bank creating tyrannical laws This couldn’t happen without a feckless population that doesn’t even know how to define #CivicDuty

The current smartest response to climate change, is for the G20 to mandate that all new vehicles be upgradable hybrids or better. Hybrids have zero grid burden, minimal battery needs, and 40% increase in fuel economy. Being upgradable means it’s ready when our grid is and the price of lithium comes down.

Ralph Nader was the world-class environmentalist. Al Gore is an empty suit filled with bad neoliberal economics. Gore apoligism is almost as bad as Hillary revisionism. She was not a good candidate. Neither was he.
