While I am in CT visiting family, Chris & Spencer have been enjoying the South Florida fall weather and it seems have been politicking in the name of Electron. I got these photos sent to me by Chris the other day after he and Spencer went to hear Al Gore speak in Boca Raton. Chris had a chance to say hello and introduce Electron and what we’re doing in Florida, I don’t think Gore’s handlers allowed the photographer to take the shot of the Chris and Al high-fiving…

Any public figure, especially one who has a political resume such as Gore’s is going to be followed by a lot of controversy. Whether you love him or hate him, think him a hypocrite or hero – let’s not forget that Al Gore has really done a lot to bring the plight of the environment more into the public eye than ever before. Gore’s financial interest and ownership in Current Media, Kleiner Perkins, and Generation Investment Management are no secret – it would be a shame for us to stop listening to him or ignore his message outright – there can be little doubt that pollution, deforestration, our dependence on foreign oil, etc,, etc… is a problem. So whether you’re a treehugger, or you simply hate paying a lot of money to fill up your SUV it’s hard to deny the overall message. His lectures may be a little repetitive but it’s good that we have someone who seems focused on getting the message across – regardless of his personal interests.
