Where does he deny it? He expressly says that he is investing in the industry because he believes in it. I don't see him denying the intention to profit anywhere whatsoever in the clip you provided.

I often agree with you, SW, but I think you're barking up the wrong tree in the "Gore forest" here. The problem isn't so much that Gore is profiting from green industry or supporting it through investment, it is that he is helping to create artificial demand for such things, and he is using the state to create that demand.

Perhaps you misstated yourself, or perhaps I misunderstood the point you were driving at, but I am sure that ultimately, we have the same opinion.

What you mean to say is that you oppose Gore's use of the state and the elctorate to push his own business agenda, yes?
