9. PNAC'er Woolsey up

:eyes:

[Mabus]

10. Good thing lunch is still cooking

otherwise I'd be losing it right now.

I want to hear Gore, not Woolsey.

[Pirate Smile]

11. So far his speech is kind of funny. Who woulda thunk it.

[Beelzebud]

12. Let us know when the PNAC shill isn't puking, I mean speaking.

I expected Gore and got PNAC instead.

[bananas]

14. he's on nt

[Mabus]

15. Da Man has walked on stage!

[Greeby]

13. Ladies and Gentlemen

The President of the United States :patriot:

[Swamp Rat]

17. 'bout time.

:)

[Beelzebud]

16. President Gore is speaking.

[ourbluenation]

18. He just makes me smile.

:)

[Mabus]

19. First he thanked everyone, now he's talking about the tipping point

re: global warming.

[Mabus]

20. Each passing day, new studies show we are facing a climate

crisis that needs to be addressed immediately. The debate is now how we can craft emergency solutions to avoid catastrophic disasters.

[hedda_foil]

21. Is anybody else not getting any sound?

The picture is fine but I can't get sound.

[Mabus]

23. The sound disappears but comes back for me

I'm also getting frozen screens from time to time.

[dogday]

22. He does a good Arnold

saying he was going to sell his hummer....

[Mabus]

24. Ahnold said that after seeing Gore's movie

[Mabus]

25. One way trading, our money is going elsewhere

We need to be the lead in a new economy focusing on alternative/new energy.

[cyberpj]

27. Such a refreshing change to listen to someone INTELLIGENT. nt

[Mabus]

32. It makes me want to cry

especially when I think of the Chimp and David Gregory exchange last week.

[Mabus]

28. People not getting information they need to make real choices

filtering, censorship of our best scientists trying to warn us of impending disaster.

[Mabus]

29. In order for the rest of the world to take action, America needs to take

control. The rest of the world still sees as the leader despite our "moral lapses".

[Mabus]

30. We need to immediately freeze CO2 levels

clear, simple and easy to understand.

[Mabus]

31. Adimitted he was against nuclear freeze but realized he was wrong

because he listened to what people were saying.

[Mabus]

33. We need greater efficiency in how we make, transport and use energy

There are a lot of options to reduce pollution and costs.

[Mabus]

34. The internal combusion engine is inherently inefficient

over 90% of the energy is wasted.

No fuzzy math here.

[Greeby]

35. Damn, had to step out to make Mum's dinner

Hope this is archived

[Mabus]

36. need to get off large grids, make energy more regional

made an analogy to the internet (which he didn't invent).

[Mabus]

37. an Electra-net

A distributed energy network. I like it!

[Uncle Joe]

43. Thanks for transcribing Mabus n/t

[Mabus]

45. I figure there's the cube rats and people like you with old computers

Just trying to be a good DU'er

[Greeby]

38. National dipstick, Al?

I thought he was in the White House :evilgrin:

[Mabus]

40. I think that's what pops into most people's minds.

:rofl:

[Junkdrawer]

42. Price manipulation by Saudi Arabia and Big Oil to kill alternate energy...

He didn't name the Saudis by name, but it's clear that's who he meant.

Al gets the Big Picture.

[Mabus]

39. Our national dipstick!

:rofl:

We need a national oil change. Just look at our national dipstick! Naturally my first thought was Bush.

[blm]

48. I actually think that's a clever visual for the general public.

.

[Mabus]

41. 25 by 25 movement

we can revitalize the farm economy from shifting it from food, feed, fiber to food, feed, fiber and fuel. (I think I forget an "f")

[Mabus]

44. I'm e-mailing KO about this speech

I hope he covers it.

[Shakespeare]

46. Connie Mae program--freaking BRILLIANT

Absolutely beautiful.

[Mabus]

49. I had to go let the dogs out

missed it.

[Shakespeare]

52. special mortgage financing to make homes more carbon-neutral

Financing would come from projected future energy savings as a result of improvements.

[Mabus]

54. He takes my breathe away.

He's got vision.

[Mabus]

47. Doesn't want nuclear power: problems with waste, vulnerability (re attacks

They expensive, take a long time to build and only come in one size.

[Mabus]

50. no nuke plants means no availability to terrorists n/t

[Mabus]

51. The role of coal is rapidly increasing, but carbon capture and sequestrati

is expensive but the costs of not using it is much higher.

[Mabus]

53. "clean coal technology" is meaningless phrase unless the CO2 is zero

[Mabus]

55. advocates elimination of all payroll taxes to be replaced w/taxes on CO2

a tax swap.

[Mabus]

56. forces companies to lower CO2 levels doesn't penalize employment

What is the price of the planet's habitability?

[Mabus]

57. my thought: imagine the health benefits as the environment becomes

cleaner and healthier.

[Uncle Joe]

59. I imagine, they could save money on the sky rocketing cost of

insurance and medical care.

[Mabus]

61. It's a defintely a win-win

for generations to come.

[Kolesar]

69. Is this policy documented in Gore's book "An Inconvenient Truth"?

...anybody? I want to know about this and about carbon trading.

[Mabus]

71. I don't remember it being in there

I'd look it up but someone has borrowed our copy of it. I don't think it was though.

[Mabus]

58. As people become more aware they are voluntarily reducing carbon

footprints. Ballard, WA has goal of making entire community zero carbon.

[Mabus]

60. It is not a question of right and left it is a question of right and wrong

[JNelson6563]

65. Thank you Mabus!!

Really appreciating the play by play.

Julie

[Mabus]

67. It kept cutting in and out

but I was trying to give the gist of what he was saying. Man, oh man, he is such a powerful speaker.

[Greeby]

62. I keep holding out the hope he'll end the speech with

"I announce that I will seek my Party's nomination for President of the United States."

S'pose a boy can dream *sigh* :)

[Mabus]

64. Not until after the book is out next year

That's what I'm thinking/hoping

[Mabus]

63. Talking about moral authority

and the America we used to be proud of.

Helping those we defeated. We now need to take the lead. He's talking about AIDS, genocide, environmental rape, diseases - by rising to meet the climate crisis, we will see the other problems as moral ones, not political ones.

[Supersedeas]

70. not something the Corp Television Media wants to talk about now, is it?

[Subdivisions]

66. Oh, shoot! I missed it. :(

[Mabus]

68. It will be archived on the nyu.edu site

for viewing in your leisure.
