Gore

The earths temperature is rising and burning fossil fuels is thought to be one of the causes. For those who believe that it is time to take corrective action. The problem is that many who express the most concern are getting in the way of a solution. They must come to realize that wind and solar are not the answer. Leading proponents in this area seem unaware of the damage to the environment caused by the mining and disposing of the materials needed to manufacture wind mills and solar panels. This lack of awareness for many is out of ignorance but some are pushing social changes. For others it is a matter of money. The poster boy for this group is Al Gore. He spent his life as a government employee and left government to amass a $200 million dollar fortune by selling his ideas on climate change. His claim to fame was a book he wrote scarring people about the future, a book that he admits he exaggerated to make a point. He purchased a $9 million dollar ocean side villa and flies around the world in his private jet to promote climate change. He has a home in Nashville that uses 23 times the electricity of an average home. For show he put up some solar panels on his home but they only account for 3% of his usage. Many articles about him and he never mentions the contamination to the earth caused by mining materials needed by wind and solar. People who hold these positions are getting in the way of the real solution which is thorium nuclear power.
