Prvý karbónový miliardár

Al Gore sa stane prvým karbónovým miliardárom. Taktika je jednoduchá: podporovať vládnu politiku ktorá nasmeruje peniaze na projekt. Tie budú následne pridelené firmám v biznise... no a potom stačí už len investovať do akcií tých "správnych" spoločností. Otázne je, či v jeho agende je skutočne prioritný problém globálneho otepľovania, alebo jeho zisky...

The New York Times has lifted the lid on how Al Gore stands to benefit to the tune of billions of dollars if the carbon tax proposals he is pushing come to fruition in the United States, while documenting how he has already lined his pockets on the back of exaggerated fearmongering about global warming.

However, the NY Times‘ John M. Broder does reveal how one of the companies Gore invested in, Silver Spring Networks, recently received a contract worth $560 million dollars from the Energy Department to install “smart meters” in people’s homes that record (and critics fear could eventually regulate) energy usage.

“Kleiner Perkins and its partners, including Mr. Gore, could recoup their investment many times over in coming years,” states the report, highlighting the fact that Gore is “well positioned to profit from this green transformation, if and when it comes.”

“Critics, mostly on the political right and among global warming skeptics, say Mr. Gore is poised to become the world’s first “carbon billionaire,” profiteering from government policies he supports that would direct billions of dollars to the business ventures he has invested in,” writes Broder.
