If you went to visit Al Gore at his farm in Tennessee, you might find him monitoring the 33-panel solar array on his 100% renewable-energy house, tooling about in his Tesla, checking on the 16,000 trees he has just planted to capture more carbon dioxide, or looking at the hot-air balloon the Koch brothers periodically fly over his property to make fun of him.
Gore, who’s currently promoting An Inconvenient Sequel: Truth To Power, the follow-up to his Oscar-winning climate-change documentary, has traded designs on elected office for a life devoted to advocating for green energy.
