1) Al Gore uses Apple's 'Keynote' software, not PowerPoint. Maybe that explains the Nobel Prize? ^_^

2) Since the subject is energy, how about adding a slide or two addressing Peak Oil?

3) Your section calling Global Warming a 'bubble' seems out of place, as it wasn't clear what you meant by that, or what the bursting of that bubble would look like.

4) The virtual room stuff seemed overly long, and the jarring nature of the interruptions was not the best demonstration of the technology.
