This article by Al Gore contains a lot of up to date info on the changing
electricity market, which was foreshadowed in the Peak Oil submission to
the gov,s energy white paper.....particularly the part about distributed
grid.

Dear Karin,

As a Climate Reality activist, you are truly at the front lines of
powering the social revolution for climate action. And today, I wanted to
write to you for two important reasons.

First: thank you! Thank you for taking the time to turn your passion for
our climate's future into action.

Second: I've written a new article in the next issue of Rolling Stone
magazine, and I wanted to make sure you had a chance to check it out
before it hits newsstands on Friday.

Recently, the news about the climate crisis has included some hard things
to read -- like the announcement by scientists that the collapse of the
West Antarctic ice sheet is now irreversible. But we don't have time or
reasons to feel despair; that's just another form of denial, paralyzing
action. As you'll see in my article, I'm extremely hopeful for the future
of our great planet. Sometimes it's worth reminding ourselves that the
solutions to this climate crisis are right in front us, right here, right
now, and I wanted to share this good news with people like you who are
fighting for a clean-energy future.

So please, take a few minutes to read this article. I hope that when you
do you'll take the time to share it with friends, family, and others who
are helping to create a healthy and sustainable future for all of us.

Thanks again for all the hard work that you do. Together, we can create
lasting change. And that's just one more reason I'm hopeful this year.

Sincerely,

Al Gore
Founder and Chairman
