Al Gore on 60 Minutes

Al Gore was anything but wooden during his 60 Minutes interview this past Sunday. While politics did play a little part in this interview, it's clear he's committed to his role as "P.R. Representative for the Planet." Folks, this is a man on a mission.

In addition to erecting wind turbines on his parents' land and training others to show his power point "Inconvenient Truth" presentation, Al Gore has plenty of other things to keep him busy. For instance he's got a huge advertising campaign going - the campaign will run about $300,000 and hopes to raise awayness of global warning issues. You should start seeing that campaign this week. Mr. Gore is paying for this campaign with all the profits he would have received from his book and the "Inconvenient Truth" documentary. We think that's a very cool thing.

Clearly Al Gore has redefined himself from the man who was robbed of a presidency to a man with a mission to save the earth. If you're like me, you'll walk away from this interview inspired and wishing you had the Gore's money so you can make a huge difference too. As Mr. Gore put it, "We really don't have a choice."

Rock on, Al.
