Al Gore’s Speech on Repowering America

This is a great read. Al Gore calls for a complete overhaul of our energy infrastructure in the next 10 years. Ambitious and visionary. I love this man.

Tidal Powered Turbine


Yes! San Francisco needs these. Lots of em.

An underwater turbine that generates electricity from tidal streams was plugged into the UK’s national grid today. It marks the first time a commercial-scale underwater turbine has fed power into the network and the start of a new source of renewable energy for the UK.

Tidal streams are seen by many as a plentiful and predictable supply of clean energy. The most conservative estimates suggest there is at least five gigawatts of power in tidal flows around the country, but there could be as much as 15GW.

10 McCain Gaffes

And McCain is complaining about media bias in favor of Obama. Hypocritical much?

Check out all 10 Gaffes that the media overlooked here.

1. McCain unambiguously called Social Security “an absolute disgrace.”
2. McCain’s top economic policy adviser calls Americans a bunch of “whiners” for being worried about the slumping economy.
3. Iraqi leaders call for a timetable for U.S. withdrawal, McCain gets caught in a bizarre denial and flip flop.

Not to mention the favorable editing that Katie Couric afforded John McCain yesterday. Watch it here:

My Contributions to the Democrats

I just donated money to the following:

Barack Obama
The DNC
The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC)
The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee (DSCC)

I’m still trying to figure out which is the best organization to donate to, for defeating the Prop 8, the California gay marriage ban. Any suggestions?

I plan on contributing to all five causes each month through November. Even if it’s only $10 each for a particular month, I’m going to contribute something.

Libertarian Campaign Chair Dies Without Health Insurance

Um, is anyone else amazed at the irony here?

From JoeMyGod:

Kent Snyder, libertarian presidential candidate Ron Paul’s openly gay campaign chair, has died of pneumonia at age 49. In an ironic twist to Paul’s small government libertarian ideals, Snyder had no health insurance and leaves a $400K medical debt. Both the McCain and Obama campaigns offer full health insurance to campaign staff.
