Links about our energy future

from Gene B

I am sending out links to the Al Gore speech on energy. I believe this program could be a potentially transformative step forward in our attempts to reduce CO2, reduce fossil fuel usage, reduce world tensions, and move towards to a more just world. The first link is Gore's speech. The second is an Al Gore interview with Katie Couric. The third is an article by a French investment banker (Jerome Guillet) whose work I have followed for some years, and the fourth is the NY Times blog on Gore's speech together with positive and negative comments.

As you all know I am relatively knowledgeable on the subject of energy. I am convinced it will take an effort similar to the project Gore is describing to get the US to lead the world away from the catastrophes towards which we are currently leading the world.
