Gore owns a Zinc mine. Zinc is a primary component of hybrid batteries and H2 fuels cells. Anyone smell a rat?

Question

He was also heavily invest in IT service companies during the Y2K bug scare he promoted saying "planes will fall from the sky". We all know how that went don't we...

Answer 1

Gore's whole profile should be under close scrutiny, instead of giving him the Nobel Peace Prize (and whatever else) people should consider that he lives in a mansion that uses 3 times the electricity of a normal house for 3 people (him, Tipper and son), while Bush's ranch in TX is almost all solar powered and self-sufficient.

now who's into the environment?

the reason we're all lead to believe Gore's "DA MAN with DA PLAN" is how the media has promoted him and his "plan." most geographers will tell you that he hasnt said anything new and unusual, so i wish people were a bit more critical and didnt believe everything they've heard on TV/radio as news.

Answer 2

Gore is a very wealthy man.  Any time he wanted to make more money he could just go, a make a speech, about anything, and collect a big check.

To say he's working on global warming to make money is ridiculous.

And, claiming this nonsense is simply admitting you have nothing real to say about global warming.

By the way Y2K was a very real problem.  It took years, thousands of programmers and billions of dollars to fix.  The only problem was that the programmers weren't confident enough they had actually fixed it.

Answer 3

He has come along way. ...but hes still a slum lord in Tn. So what about zinc?

Answer 4

Gore needs glory, power,fame,attention,,,not money

Answer 5

Al Gore does not hold any political office and his views are currently those of a private citizen.  Everybody naturally looks out for their own best interests so if he did own a zinc mine then he should promote the end use of zinc.  Personally, I'm not all that interested in Al Gore, he's not going to be elected to the presidency and his message is a good one - we do need to pay attention to the environment and try to live a little greener.

Answer 6

He also owns a carbon credit firm.  He is a hypocrite, like 96% of so called environmental-mental cases.  His goal is to change all fiat currency (pounds, euros, rupis, rubles) into a one world carbon credit currency.

Al Gore defends his extraordinary personal energy usage by telling critics he maintains a "carbon neutral" lifestyle by buying "carbon offsets," but the company that receives his payments turns out to be partly owned and chaired by the former vice president himself.

Gore has built a "green money-making machine capable of eventually generating billions of dollars for investors, including himself, but he set it up so that the average Joe can't afford to play on Gore's terms," writes blogger Dan Riehl.

Gore has described the lifestyle he and his wife Tipper live as "carbon neutral," meaning he tries to offset any energy usage, including plane flights and car trips, by "purchasing verifiable reductions in CO2 elsewhere."

But it turns out he pays for his extra-large carbon footprint through Generation Investment Management, a London-based company with offices in Washington, D.C., for which he serves as chairman. The company was established to take financial advantage of new technologies and solutions related to combating "global warming," reports blogger Bill Hobbs.

Answer 7

Is he the sole owner of the entire mine, or just one or many owners of shares in the corporation that runs it?  If the former, than you might have a case, but if the latter, then he's like a lot of small-time investors: unaware of what they own because they're invested in mutual funds which actually own the stocks.  So through these type of investments, a lot of ordinary folks are investors in say, oil companies who get profits on the other side of the global warming flapdoodle.
