On Thursday, July 17th, former Vice President and Nobel Peace Prize winner Al Gore outlined his bold vision for the future of America’s energy needs at D.A.R. Constitution Hall. The speech offered a new way of thinking about our energy production and consumption and a new sense of what is possible when we choose to work together.

Gore has a challenge for us. Gore believes that in 10 years America could be running on 100 percent zero-carbon electricity. He purposes that we tap into our innovative skills and join forces to build a more secure energy future. Issues, like the economy and our environmental and national security crises, are all tied together with one very important problem: “our dangerous over-reliance on carbon-based fuels.” With a change in direction and active participation in exploration and discovery, Americans will once again change history.
