In between late night massages and saving the planet, the prototype ecco-warrior Mr Al Gore emerges now filled with angst over his earlier choices. He originally urged that we all switch to corn ethanol so we could burn up our food supply in our automobiles. Al Gore admitted today that corn ethanol was “not a good policy,” according to Reuters. "One of the reasons I made that mistake is that I paid particular attention to the farmers in my home state of Tennessee", Mr Gore said. Sure he made a mistake, but dog gone it, the reason he made the mistake was his heart was just too big and he was too compassionate. Now Mr Gore has become a real pragmatist. Now he says don't use corn ethanol instead use the "second generation technologies which do not compete with food". Second generation technologies convert glass clippings into bio-fuel, ala "Back to the Future Part 2". It seems that this change of heart about fuel sources also comes with a change in his funding. It turns out that Mr Gore is a partner in a venture capital company, Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers, which is now promoting, wait for it. Yes, you guessed it the so called "second generation technologies".
There is a great post in the Green Hell Blog that details this newest hypocrisy from the former VP: Green Hell Blog http://greenhellblog.com/2010/11/22/al-gore-cries-crocodile-tears-over-ethanol/
It turns out that former VP not only likes receiving those late nigh massages, he also will administer them to the public - for a fee.
