. . . are off to sell the Obama Energy Tax to America:

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Al Gore and a band of environmental volunteers are taking the congressional fight over climate change legislation to the home districts of undecided lawmakers.
“We have to seize this moment, because it may not ever come around again,” Gore said. “This is the time when the world is making up its mind.”
The nonprofit group founded by Gore has trained about 3,000 people to deliver their own versions of the climate change slideshow that made him the star of the Oscar-winning documentary “An Inconvenient Truth” and the leading U.S. voice on global warming.
At a conference this weekend in Nashville, Gore is urging the volunteers to sell voters on a “cap and trade” system, setting a ceiling on greenhouse gas emissions, to counter the influence of industry lobbyists on members of Congress.
“We give their constituents the information in accessible form that the world scientific community has been hollering from the rooftops about,” he said.

I’m not sure how Gore will make his case. He has called Waxman-Markey bill “a good start,” but his erstwhile NASA ally-in-alarmism James Hansen says it won’t work.

If the Goracle’s rhetoric from the past four years is to be believed, “a good start” is not good enough. And if Gore were actually to stick to his principles, he wouldn’t cave on a bill that won’t accomplish what he has told us needs to be accomplished.
