  Bush

  "I genuinely think [Bush] did a good job in the immediate aftermath of September 11 and up until Tora Bora," Gore recently told WIRED magazine.

  What about Bush's faliure to reduce oil consumption in the aftermather - even purely for security issues.

  With a gush of goodwill, Bush could have asked Americns to sacrifice, and put massive funds into alternative technology development to withdraw relations with dictatorships like Saudi Arabia, without reprecutions from the country.On Me and Al Gore posted 3 years, 6 months ago 25 Responses

  Corporate Average Fuel Efficiency (CAFE)

  I would like to know why as VP, he refused to demand increases in CAFE standards, while technically feasible. Isn't it true that average fuel economy slipped back to 1980's levels during the Clinton administration?

  I commend the former VIce President on his green investment firm. Indeed, consumer demand is an essential factor in movement of the market towards greener products. But govenment incentives provide a much broader motivation for shifts in supply patterns.On Me and Al Gore posted 3 years, 6 months ago 25 Responses
