And just last night I was reading algore’s lament about how we watch too much TV. As usual, he has it all figured out.
That's why he owns an Internet and cable TV station ("we want [www.current.tv] to be the television home page for the Internet generation.")
It's the same reason he heads Generation Investment, which sell "carbon offsets" to people who are frightened by his books, fictomentaries, and speeches.
