Al Gore could become worlds first carbon billionaire
Last year Mr Gores 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.

It’s turning into a parasite convention.
Gore should be down on the street with his people. Camping in sleeping bags, bathing in water fountains, and crapping the the street.
Algore an anti-Semite? Yes, I could see that.

Well, I agree with him on the economy, anyway.
This OWS movement is becoming a highly effective flypaper.
Algore backing the protesters - That’s funny, I don’t care who you are, hahahahahahahaha!!!
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.”
he’s just there trying to release his 2nd chakra in some hippie girl’s sleeping bag.
All of the Marxist/Anarchists are self-identifying.
Well, if Algore supports it, it MUST be good.
Big Al smells money in the taxpayers’ pockets
That's a given..............
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.
People! People! You must adore Gore! He KILLED ManBearPig!
Algore Ping.
Here's a multi-million dollar mansion they march on (Gore's in Montecito, CA)
Maybe algore should park his GIGANTIC houseboat at the Wall street boat dock and join in on the protest.
Oh please, tell me AlGore’s going to drop in and visit with them ... then it is sure to snow!
