Prof. Daniel Kammen of the Energy and Resources Group at UC Berkeley comments on Al Gore's Challenge to produce 100% of our electricity from clean, renewable sources. Learn more at http://www.wecansolveit.org
But, I repeal. Let us fight another war to live another day. We shouldn't worry about domestic issues like energy security or waste systems or transportion or education or the other countless wastes of time, they just reduce our ability to fight more wars. It's important to keep fighting so that our young brave men and woman can stand strong and bring to us a brave new future where terrorists and rogue states no longer exist. Thank you.
This guy says he thinks america should be the one to do it and that everyone wants us to. Hmm. I bet he doesn't know that dozens of countries are already doing it, and they're doing much better than we're at doing it. So... we're a bit late in coming. Some of the other benefits these other countries gained was a refresh of their power infrastructure, and this will give them many benefits over our old outdated system that might have been good 70 years ago.
Every time I hear about charging people for carbon emissions my skin crawls, after all wouldn't it be more proactive to just give solid presentations about alternatives that would benefit everyone, after all its not fare to make the companies that have grown use to having everyone else pay for the fact that employ people in this country at all. Asking such executives to make a change or possibly loose the income from oil investments would demand moral character.
Couldn't those other people in the room have stopped talking for 57 seconds? I think Prof. Kammen's video was more important.
Prof. Kammen mentioned Denmark and Spain. Both countries are doing great things with renewables, but both have a very long way to go, as they still heavily depend on fossil fuels, in particular liquid fuels from petroleum for transportation, for which credible large-scale alternatives are still probably years away. Unfortunately.
Right or wrong; two years later I'd say our hopes have been dashed.

Why don't you talk about the fact that climate change being man made is a propaganda lie to tax nations for the wealthy few. You're a tool.
