On July 17, 2008 Al Gore gave a speech talking about how our nation is going through a big crisis. In the speech, Gore is providing us with facts about our environmental crisis by us receiving strange weather. Three major challenges of crisis in America are security, environmental, and economical. Gore also tells us that the core of our crisis is we borrow money from China to buy oil, then later burn it. The answer according to Gore, is to end our reliance to carbon based fuel. His challenge is to commit to produce 100 percent of our energy without carbon base products in 10 years.
