7.17.08 - Will.i.am of the Black Eye Peas and Green DMV Co-founder, Rhon Hayes at Al Gore's, WE Campaign event in Washington, DC.



In Washington DC, Al Gore challenged the nation to transform the way it produces electricity, moving to a 100 percent renewable and non-carbon system within 10 years. His goal is to attack simultaneously the interconnected problems with energy prices, security and global climate change.

Former Vice President Al Gore gave a speech in Washington laying out his new approach to the entwined challenges of limiting risks from global warming and instability from rising energy prices and declining supplies of fossil fuels.

Al Gore calls for the United States to produce all electricity from “carbon-free sources” by 2018. This represents quite a shift from his tight focus on the “climate crisis” as the great challenge of our time.
