Point well-taken
Thanks. I didn't mean to take you to court, so I apologize for pressing you. I was just curious which news sources you were referring to. I was at the speech today, and I was actually confused as to whether he was calling for 100% carbon free energy or electricity, so I totally understand your point.
And it is an important distinction to make. Thanks again On Al Gore details plan for exclusively carbon-free electricity in U.S. by 2018 posted 1 year, 4 months ago 21 ResponsesClick here to view comment in original post
Media coverage of Gore speech
So by "his stated goal is being MISSTATED everywhere in the media today" you mean a few blogs that you haven't even provided the links for? SolidOn Al Gore details plan for exclusively carbon-free electricity in U.S. by 2018 posted 1 year, 4 months ago 21 Responses

Media misstating the speech
Which news sources are conflating carbon free energy and carbon free electricity? Most of the major news sources I have read (NY Times, Washington Post, The Guardian, CNN, AP) have not misstated Gore's words. (Perhaps they updated their original posts)?
As far as Gore conflating the two issues, I think that may be necessary in some cases. For example, Gore called for plug-in automobiles, which if our electricity is carbon free would also help make the automobiles carbon free. This of course has quite a bit to do with oil.
