Gore's GIM Hedge Funds was started to make money off a Carbon Exchange. The entire original intent of the hedge fund was to become wealthy off of the carbon market after Gore went on a national tour pushing his Inconvenient Truth movie. Unfortunately for Gore, the Obama administration did not push for a mandatory carbon credit exchange market in the U.S.; due to this the GIM Hedge Fund needed to change direction and focus on green investments. Most of the investments involved participating in deals funded by the U.S. government - which has been cited as being nothing more than crony capitalism. If Gore had succeeding in having the government implement a mandatory carbon exchange, he would be the wealthiest person in America via his GIM Hedge Fund - even wealthier than Bill Gates.

Anyone who claims that Gore is not pushing for a carbon credit market and tax in order to make money is severely deluded. It's the inconvenient truth.

Look! Higher efficiency!

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. -- Ultra-high-efficiency solar cells similar to those used in space may now be possible on your rooftop thanks to a new microscale solar concentration technology developed by an international team of researchers.

"Concentrating photovoltaic (CPV) systems leverage the cost of high efficiency multi-junction solar cells by using inexpensive optics to concentrate sunlight onto them," said Noel C. Giebink, assistant professor of electrical engineering, Penn State. "Current CPV systems are the size of billboards and have to be pointed very accurately to track the sun throughout the day. But, you can't put a system like this on your roof, which is where the majority of solar panels throughout the world are installed."

Giebink notes that the falling cost of typical silicon solar cells is making them a smaller and smaller fraction of the overall cost of solar electricity, which also includes "soft" costs like permitting, wiring, installation and maintenance that have remained fixed over time. Improving cell efficiency from about 20 percent for silicon toward greater than 40 percent with multi-junction CPV[bold mine] is important because increasing the power generated by a given system reduces the overall cost of the electricity that it generates.

Does Al Gore own a large percentage of a carbon trading exchange?

Why is Al Gore pushing for a tax on low income families?
 
I wonder if Al Gore provides a disclaimer regarding his investment in the carbon trading exchange everytime he gives a presentation.

How much money will he make a year from his ownership in the carbon trading exchange if a cap-n-crunch tax is implemented?

You can't handle the truth!
 
Bill Ackman shorted Herbalife and gave presentations regarding his thesis that HLF is a pyramid scheme because it is the right thing to do.

Blahahahahahahaha
