Al Gore could become world’s first carbon billionaire

Last year Mr Gore’s venture capital firm loaned a small California firm $75m to develop energy-saving technology.

The company, Silver Spring Networks, produces hardware and software to make the electricity grid more efficient.

The deal appeared to pay off in a big way last week, when the Energy Department announced $3.4 billion in smart grid grants, the New York Times reports. Of the total, more than $560 million went to utilities with which Silver Spring has contracts.

The move means that venture capital company Kleiner Perkins and its partners, including Mr Gore, could recoup their investment many times over in coming years.

“Or will he betray his country?”

Ok, I guess it would be that then.

colin's son is on the government nipple and so the ruling class has given the princess's family some money and security. They are now beholden to the democrat/RINO/bureaucrat class that runs washington.

If only Hurricane Earl would zero in on DC and blow all the turds into the ocean, I'd be a happy camper.
