"Gore's Challenge"


Al Gore is a man that ran for presidency and was cheated out of his place in our nation but even with not being president he has talked to me and the people of our nation about the problems we face and what will come next he also talked about how we as the people can change this before it happens. In this speech he talked to us about the crisis our world is gonna face and how we might be able to change it in time if we act now.
Al Gore brought up that fact that our polar ice cap is melting very fast and that within five years it will have melted down completely he said that the polar cap is milting fasted then the amount of water our nation consumes . the core of this problem is the reliance on carbon based fuels our people Reilly on using these based fuels so much that it has caused us to have to face the thee major challenges such as the major fires and fluds , the melting of our polar ice cap and the strength of lightning .
The answer to this is to end our reliance on carbon based fuels and start the use of renewable energy. Gore has come to this conclusion by holding things called solution summits with engineers,scientists and ceo's. they have came up with things that can help our process in using renewable energy such as solar energy and windmills to replace carbon fuels.
He spoke of his challenge and his challenge is to commit to producing 100% of our electricity from renewable energy and truly clean carbon sources within ten years yes this can be achievable he said because the as the prices for oil has gone up the prices on solar power energy has gone down and will continue as demand goes up.
This has not happened in the past because politics think that if they pay more money on oil and gas then it will decrease but this is not true they also have used answers that never seem to help but seem to harm us more later. It would be good for America to get into Alternative energy because it will help us to heal the damage done to our world. Ten years is an important time for us to make change because it was said that in five years the polar ice cap would be melted and if we start now we maybe able to delay that time period now is a good time to start because with the increase in oil this could save a lot of money in our pockets.we face lots of obstacles but they can be fixed by helping get a unified national grid and also helping make manufactures make plug up cars. Al gore also talks about the increase in our poll taxes he says we should drop the rate on our poll taxes with the difference of co2 taxes" we should eat what we use not what we earn".
I think that he is right and i will try my best to spread the word to others so that way our nation can fix what we have done and I can live a longer life. I agree that we should act now and act bold because we have to move to make others follow what we are doing.
