I once started a renewable energy college and was pitching for funds when I was asked by two people from a private equity fund that wouldn't Al Gore be better suited to do this? This is after I acquired a physical campus and with a couple of Ph.D. in Education developed a comprehensive renewable energy curriculum that included wind,solar,bio-diesel, Cellulosic Ethanol, Mini-Hydro. I said "sure" but doesn't he make 30 million dollar documentaries on the environment now ? "They both simultaneously replied "Yes" ! To which I replied, "Maybe I am in the wrong business" . Story telling or story showing seems to trump most everything. Al Gore will be remembered more for his environmental movie on global warming then his inventing of the Internet or being Vice President. I know this is an interesting site because I am spending way to much time here. Cheers!
