Here's the photo of the new solar roof on Al Gore's Nashville home.
This is the home that houses the office from which Al Gore runs his world-wide campaign to combat the climate crisis.
When the far right Tennessee Center for Policy Research unleashed its attack of lies on Gore, the former Vice President was still petitioning for outdated zoning laws prohibiting the installation of solar panels to be changed. (Apparently, solar panels weren't 'pretty' enough for the neighborhood!)
The zoning laws were finally changed, and once again, Al Gore has helped to bring a little bit of Tennessee out of the 19th century. Just imagine what Gore could do if he were president.
AP: NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Al Gore, the environmental activist stung by criticism over his house's energy efficiency, said Friday that renovations are nearly complete to make it a model "green" home.
"This plan has been in the works for a long time," the former vice president said in an interview with The Associated Press. "The only thing that has changed is that we're more public about it because of the misleading attack by a global-warming denier group."
Gore's renovation project, which he said has been in the works for months, seeks to meet the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design, or LEED, standards established by the U.S. Green Building Council.
The former Vice President picked up another award this week. Gore was awarded Spain's prestigious Principe de Asturias prize for his unprecedented success in raising the global awareness about the climate crisis.
As predicted, Gore's new book -- The Assault on Reason -- is number one on the New York Times Bestseller List.
Next month, NBC and its affiliates will broadcast Gore's Live Earth Concerts to a worldwide audience of some two billion people!
Oh, and Gore was in Chicago, at Borders on State Street this week. Can you guess what the crowd had to say?
Run, Al, Run!!
