Al Gore could become world’s first carbon billionaire

Last year Mr Gore’s venture capital firm loaned a small California firm $75m to develop energy-saving technology.

The company, Silver Spring Networks, produces hardware and software to make the electricity grid more efficient.

The deal appeared to pay off in a big way last week, when the Energy Department announced $3.4 billion in smart grid grants, the New York Times reports. Of the total, more than $560 million went to utilities with which Silver Spring has contracts.

The move means that venture capital company Kleiner Perkins and its partners, including Mr Gore, could recoup their investment many times over in coming years.

Gore should be down on the street with his people. Camping in sleeping bags, bathing in water fountains, and crapping the the street.

“From the economy to the climate crisis, our leaders have pursued solutions that are not solving our problems; instead they propose policies that accomplish little,” Gore wrote

Well, I agree with him on the economy, anyway.

Fat, self-righteous Al Gore is “one of the 99%.” Who is he kidding?

Candidate for The Onion headline:

“The former VP visited the protestors, intending to support and encourage them. However, not recognizing the portly, elderly man in the $10,000 suit, the protestors began pelting him with garbage and their own feces until his Secret Service guards dragged him back into his limousine.”

One of the most absorbent, non-productive sponges our society has ever produced.

He has never produced a thing of value, but has managed to soak up enough wealth for a small country and enough calories for a large city.

He's a black hole on the value of civilization.
