Al Gore Gives Historic Speech on Energy

Leslie Berliant

Al Gore gave a historic, bold and inspired speech on energy in Washington, D.C. today calling for a U.S. electricity grid that comes from 100% renewables (solar, wind, geothermal) within 10 years, harkening back to President Kennedy's challenge to land an American on the moon. He makes the environmental, economic and political cases for such a bold call to action and pre-empts the detractors that are sure to come, while taking on the drilling advocates and the false "solution" that they are advocating. Watch the speech below or read the text of it here.
