US firms must go green, says Gore

What about Chinese businesses, Al? Look at any map of the world and it's obvious that China is a gross polluter; cranking out multiple times more pollution per capita than the United States. And that's air, water and soil pollution.

Funny how the Kyoto accords and Al Bore only want to handicap U.S. businesses...

I'm really tired of all the bloviating about oil from people who drive cars using gasoline, investing in stock portfolios full of companies, owned, operated and run by people and machines that use fuel. When I see one human person, evnironmentalist or not, who has totally divested themselves from any contact or relationship with oil, I will tip my hat to them and ask for tips on how to do the same. Until then, everybody bloviating about oil needs to shut up. No credibility - bunch of hypocrites.

In 2004, he and the former Goldman Sachs investment banker David Blood founded the international investment firm Generation Investment Management, which actively seeks to invest in companies that take a sustainable view of their business.

Short this one ... as close to a sure thing as you're likely to find.

"The quarterly reports might look good for a little while and then they fall off a cliff,"

Gore's an expert on GOING OFF THE EDGE!

"Occidental's investment in Gore has paid rich dividends. In late 1997 the Vice President championed the Administration's $3.65 billion sale to the company of the government's interest in the Elk Hills oilfield in Bakersfield, California, the largest privatization of federal property in US history."

Gore knows as much about running a business as the Kennedys know about driving, skiing, flying and skippering a boat.

One could parse this a few ways. Is actively seeking to invest the same as actually investing? Does having a "sustainable view of their business" imply that other companies take an unsustainable view? What is the meaning of is?
