11 years ago, Vice President Gore gave the commencement address at my graduation and after a brief story about sitting at Shoney’s restaurant, Al Gore gave a speech about climate change. Keep in mind that in 2005, solar, wind and climate change were far from mainstream and surely not on this college graduate’s mind. 6 months later I found myself searching for a way into the solar industry and here I am 10 years later. The reason I bring this up is because yesterday, Secretary Clinton said what we have all been saying. Renewable energy and climate change are a central decision point in this election. In atypical fashion, Secretary Clinton was an opening speaker, as she welcomed VP Gore to the stage, in Miami, just a few miles from my home. This election has evolved to say the least but for me renewable energy is the main point I bring up to any undecided voter. So ask yourself the question posed by David Crane, “What are you doing for the next four weeks?”
