His salary??? lol I am real happy about green energy, including some of the stuff he is invested in. On the other hand I can recognize a con artist when I see one. Mr Gore responded, "I am proud of it, I am proud of it." (His business success) Al's net worth jumped from 2million in 2000 to 100 million in 2008 and is destined to be the first carbon billionaire soon. 100% of what salary ... He is the founder and an investor. He also announced he was donating 100% of the proceeds from his book to the Alliance for Climate Protection. It's becoming his catch phrase to say he's donating 100% of his salary or proceeds...because it works wonders for his con on dupes like you. You do know the difference between profits and salary, don't you...maybe not. "As a partner at Silicon Valley venture capital heavyweight Kleiner Perkins Caulfield & Byers, Gore is poised to reap hundreds of millions from investments in companies that will benefit from the government's increased emphasis on green technology" "Gore is poised to profit -- in a big way -- from investments in companies which seek to address the ecological crises he has been warning about for years. Broder writes that Gore could be viewed as "Profiteering from government policies he supports that would direct billions of dollars to the bisiness ventures he is invested in." Not to mention Gore lied when he told congress he would not be profiting from cap and trade. "Today, Gore does not reveal his net worth, but the fact that he was able to single-handedly make a $35 million investment in Capricorn Investment Group, a private equity fund started by his friend Jeff Skoll, the Silicon Valley entrepreneur and film producer, speaks volumes about the magnitude of his wealth." * Founder, and investor in London-based Generation Investement Management, which is run by David Blood, a former head of Goldman Sachs Asset Management. Partner at, and investor in, Pleiner Perkins. Invested in partnerships and funds that try to "identify and support companies that are advancing cutting-edge green technologies and are paving the way toward a low-carbon economy." * Stake in the "world's pre-eminent carbon credit trading market and in an array of companies in bio-fuels, sustainable fish farming, electric vehicles and solar power." * Adviser to high-profile technology companies including Apple and Google, "relationships that have paid him handsome dividents over the last eight years." * Capricorn has invested in Falcon Waterfree Technologies, the world's leading maker of waterless urinals. * Gerneration has holdings in Ausra, a solar energy company based in California, and Camco, a British firm that develops carbon dioxide emissions reduction projects. dailyfinance.com
