AMERICA - Al Gore on Technology, Global Economy, and American Democracy

"Al Gore's 'Future' Tackles Technology, Global Economy, American Democracy" PBS Newshour 1/31/2013

Excerpt

JEFFREY BROWN (Newshour):  And now to our interview with former Vice President Al Gore.

Since he conceded the 2000 presidential election, Mr. Gore's of course become best known for his advocacy on climate change issues, work that led to both a Nobel Prize and an Academy Award.  Lately, his business and corporate connections have also been in the news, when he sold his cable channel, Current TV, to Al-Jazeera, the network owned by the government of Qatar in the Persian Gulf.

Gore is back in print now with a new book titled "The Future: Six Drivers of Global Change," examining major shifts in science, technology, the global economy, and American democracy.

I spoke to him earlier today.
