How Al Gore Got Rich
11th October 2012
Well, his dad was rich, and that helped.
And he went to Harvard, and that helped.
And he’s been paid by the taxpayers all his life, and that helped.
And he got in on the ground floor of the Global Warming scam, and that helped a lot.
Genuine supporters of clean energy ought to be as irked at these sorts of stories as climate-change skeptics are, because when a company’s competitive advantage is “early warning from the Obama team,” the companies whose competitive advantage is better technology rather than better relations with the Obama administration are the ones that get left behind.
Hey, it’s all in who you know — and what party you belong to.
