The Goracle's net worth has jumped from $2 Million in 2000 to $100 Million in 2008. Apparently the politics of fear pay rather well these days.
While Al Gore is scaring the daylights out of young children he is making millions from his green investments - and stands to benefit even more if the dems Cap-and-Trade program is enacted. Pro Patria has this to say:
So what has Al Gore gained from his Big Green escapades?
According to public disclosure information, Gore was worth somewhere between $1 million and $2 million in 2000. Not quite eight years later, Gore is estimated to be worth somewhere in the neighborhood of $100 million. While I ordinarily would applaud such financial gains from such a short period of time, I can’t help but to question just how it happened. When you look out at what Al Gore has done, it’s evident that he figured out on a way to capitalize on the creation of Big Green while becoming the official doomsday prophet that has helped to build Big Green into the monetary powerhouse that it has become.
So while Mr. Global Warming himself, was the star witness Friday in the House Energy and Commerce Committee hearing on Democrats’ cap-and-tax global warming bill, at least one member was asking the right questions.
Rep. Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.) challenged Al Gore's motives for supporting climate change legislation including his links to a firm that will make millions from cap and trade. Perhaps before Al Gore is invited to testify before Congress in the future, he should step up and answer these questions about his financial interests in the outcome of Cap & Trade legislation.
