Al Gore at ALA on Population

Al Gore, some dude that won/lost an election and then one the Nobel Peace Prize, in January promoted his new book at the American Library Association Conference in Boston.
He had a lot of interesting points, but one point in particular seemed to stick out more than others; his thoughts on populations...

(like the pony tail in the shot? Pretty great to be second row and think: "it's Al Gore he is just gonna stand there and talk...no movement at all." Turns out he's like super animated and moves around everywhere.)

Weatherizing creates Green Job

So that stimulus bill that we all think just goes back into the pockets of the bankers (assholes) and the super rich (healthcare), is actually creating jobs. And not the kind of sleazy jobs that one might of expected from such desperate times. The bill creates green jobs that include "weatherization" and "energy efficiency retrofitting" of homes. So, someone gets a job and as a bonus some everyday American lowers their cost of living. It's pretty cool.
Check out this crazy kickass chart from GOOD and Tiziana Haug & Steve Rura that shows how the stimulus bill is creating Green Jobs.
