This week Al Gore, Barack Obama and Joe Biden met privately to discuss “energy and climate change and how policies in this area can stimulate the economy and create jobs”.
Although it seems Obama did not offer Gore to be his “energy czar” he did say that “the time for delay and denial is over”. And that “we all believe what the scientists have been telling us for years now”.
Today Al Gore, Barack Obama and Joe Biden will meet privately to discuss “energy and climate change and how policies in this area can stimulate the economy and create jobs”.
Obama has earlier said that Gore is one of his advisors on climate change and there are rumours floating around that Obama want Gore to be his “energy czar”.
“Obama is reportedly considering creating an energy czar. Gore would be the logical pick. As czar he would be able to help oversee the Transportation department, the Interior department, and the Environmental Protection Agency. He would have a powerful voice over everything from mileage standards to conservation requirements. Even as the Bush administration continues to try to gut regulations such as restrictions on mining and drilling in Utah’s most pristine national parks, it must be awfully tempting for Gore to have the chance to put rhetoric into action.”
