Written by Editor
|
|
Thursday, 17 July 2008 |
Today, former Vice President Al Gore gave a speech in Washington D.C. on energy policy and our need, as a nation, to act on our energy crisis.
He is challenging our nation to aggressively eliminate our dependence upon oil and to develop our renewable energy sources so that we can be running on 100 percent zero-carbon electricity in 10 years.
It is exciting to envision a clean energy U.S.A. by 2018!
Here's the video of Al Gore's energy speech posted by EnergyEnvironmentTV at YouTube. For a look at the full text of Al Gore's energy speech, check it out at the We Campaign website.
