Excerpt:

Gore Unveils Global-Warming Plan
Cutting Emissions, Restructuring Industry and Farming Urged

By Michael Powell
Washington Post Staff Writer
Tuesday, September 19, 2006; Page A02

Gore proposed a Carbon Neutral Mortgage Association ("Connie Mae," to echo the familiar Fannie Mae) devoted to helping homeowners retrofit and build energy-efficient homes. He urged creation of an "electranet," which would let homeowners and business owners buy and sell surplus electricity.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++


Gore has been studying the problem. He proposes new solutions like freezing carbon dioxide emissions and ways of revamping the auto industry, factories and farms.

Reminds me of that old famous saying:

He who knows and knows he knows is wise, follow him.

Remember when Gore wanted a lock box for Social Security? I would rather see him solve the problems about that, rather than Bush. Bush's way of fixing things is to throw it to market forces and dismantling the program.

Thanks for the links to transcripts. There is no access to anything but dial up where I live, so it is hard to watch video online.
