Hobart Mercury Saturday 19/7/2008 Page: 13 FORMER US vice-president Al Gore has called for a "man on the moon" effort to ditch oil and switch all of the nation"s power production to wind, solar and other carbon-free sources within 10 years. He said this goal would solve global warming as well as economic and national security crises caused by dependence on fossil fuels. You connect the dots, it turns out that the real solutions to the climate crisis are the very same measures needed to renew our economy and escape the trap of ever rising energy prices," he said.
