A boondoggle to end all boondoggles?

by

Al Gore’s recent speech on energy was not bad as such speeches go.

by

In such moments, we are called upon to move quickly and boldly to shake off complacency, throw aside old habits and rise, clear-eyed and alert, to the necessity of big changes. Those who, for whatever reason, refuse to do their part must either be persuaded to join the effort or asked to step aside. This is such a moment.
