Al Gore's "Challenge"

In this inspirational speech given by, Al Gore who has challenged America to produce 100% percent of electricity from carbon free sources within 10 years. He has caught many people's attention about the environmental Crisis, that we are facing, today. He provides facts about our environmental crisis such as, a 75% chance that within 5 years the entire North Pole ice cap will completely disappear and increase the melting pressure in Greenland. He has arrived at conclusion by, his search in the climate crisis in renewing the economy with the help of engineers, scientist's, and CEO's. He suggests other energy sources to use to replace carbon based fuels such as, Geothermal energy which has an enormous supply of energy to the production of electricity, using solar and wind power.

I believe that if everyone in America contributes to the challenge within the next 10 years, then the crisis would decrease and most people would be relieved of most of their problems, considering that most people would be re-employed and economically stable. Many ways I can contribute to the environment would be by, recycling and using renewable resources such as, filtered water.
