Al Gore's Challenge to Repower America



In a year of endless political discussion, Al Gore bluntly tells America to view our nation's biggest problems as the interconnected issues they really are. His challenge to America: End our reliance on oil and other carbon-based fuels and transition to 100% clean energy within ten years. www.wecansolveit.org
