Dissecting Al Gore's $5 Trillion Energy Plan

"You know, when she was running for president, Hillary Clinton gave a speech in which she stated that climate change would make a "great organizing principle" for the economy. What Clinton and Gore miss is the opportunity cost of doing something else—anything else—with all that dough."

You seem a bit closed-minded to the actual idea of climate change.

And you're idea of opportunity cost would be what?

I guess you didn't read Paul Ehrlich's now-discredited "Population Explosion" from the 1970's predicting calamity, disaster, pestilence and doom. The problem isn't so much total population, but the unequal distribution of liberty around the world. Those countries that suffer the greatest from food shortages have, generally, plenty of raw materials but lack in uncorrupt government officials.

Those who are the first to moan about the population totals are the last to offer themselves as terra-firma fertilizer.

One fact that non-scientist Gore can't seem to understand; overpopulation is the single most negative human impact on this plant! Not C02 emissions, not light bulbs, not even plastic bags, just too many people. Until and unless we can somehow limit our numbers, forget the future.
