Al Gore:
I've probably given this slideshow a thousand times. I would say at least a thousand times. Nashville to Knoxville to Aspen and Sundance. Los Angeles and San Francisco. Portland, Minneapolis. Boston, New Haven, London, Brussels, Stockholm, Helsinki, Vienna, Munich, Italy and Spain and China, South Korea, Japan. I guess the thing I've spent more time on than anything else in this slideshow is trying to identify all those things in people's minds that serve as obstacles to them understanding this. A-And whenever I feel like I've identified an obstacle, I try to take it apart, roll it away. Move it. Demolish it, blow it up. I set myself a goal. Communicate this real clearly. The only way I know to do it is city by city, person by person, family by family. And I have faith that pretty soon, enough minds are changed that we cross a... a threshold

to prevent this law from taking effect
00:00:03.569 --> 00:00:07.063
because as they point out 11 years from now
00:00:07.074 --> 00:00:11.904
this would mean that California would have to have cars for sale
00:00:12.999 --> 00:00:14.844
that are as efficient 11 years from now
00:00:14.947 --> 00:00:16.071
as China's are today
00:00:16.816 --> 00:00:20.274
Clearly too onerous a provision to comply with
00:00:20.853 --> 00:00:23.344
And is this helping our companies succeed
00:00:23.456 --> 00:00:26.755
Well actually if you look at who's doing well in the world
00:00:26.859 --> 00:00:30.295

00:00:30.596 --> 00:00:32.053
