@HotAir: Al Gore to be World’s First ‘Green’ Billionaire
In my latest post for Hot Air’s GreenRoom, I notice that European media are finally discovering that global warming enthusiasts may not have our but their own interest at heart when they say we should use more ‘green power’ and alike.
I write that British newspaper the Telegraph reports that former Vice President Al Gore is on track to becoming the world’s first ‘green’ billionaire.
Last year Mr Gore’s venture capital firm loaned a small California firm $75m to develop energy-saving technology… The deal appeared to pay off in a big way last week, when the Energy Department announced $3.4 billion in smart grid grants, the New York Times reports. Of the total, more than $560 million went to utilities with which Silver Spring has contracts.
It took us Europeans a while, but we’re finally waking up to the fact that Gore and other climate change cultists may not have had our interests in mind, when they advocated we should use “green energy.” Experts like the British Lord Monckton and the Dutchman Hans Labohm have tried to educate the Old Continent about this matter for years; it appears as if they are finally making some progress.

Their interest in green tech is rarely ever completely altruistic. There’s Al Gore, who you guys like to target, but good ‘ol boy Republican T. Boone Pickens is another. He may not be hugging trees like the Gorians, but he acts all folksy and concerned while people paying attention understand the real game.
And it’s the same for everyone else in this industry. That’s Gore’s real problem, of course. He will target big, mean corporations for their polluting ways to make a profit, but he’s in it for the bucks himself.
That’s not a bad thing, of course, but he needs to rework his message.
Slowly but surely as polls indicate….the AGW’s true intentions are coming to light. What people with open minds are seeing is not a pretty sight. Their true intentions are scary.
Al Gore….did you know that in England before the Inconvienent Truth is played in schools its accompanied by a pamplet that refutes 70 something LIES and DECEPTIONS in the movie that must be read first before the movie is shown?
The science is settled?
I suppose if you have to LIE to make people believe you then thats why the numbers are plummeting for the AGW crowd.
and thats an Inconvienient truth for the AGW crowd.
