Former Vice President Al Gore privately urged President Joe Biden to keep hundreds of billions of spending to subsidize green industries and even kill another proposed oil pipeline.
Gore called Biden personally and demanded that he include billions of climate spending in his infrastructure bill, according to a report in the Washington Post.
Gore was encouraged to contact Biden by John Podesta, the former manager for Hillary Clinton’s failed presidential campaign. Podesta’s influence has waned sharply after Clinton lost to former President Donald Trump in 2016.
Gore continues lobbying for more government spending to combat climate change, a mantle he claimed after losing his own race for president to George W. Bush in 2000.
Biden proposed hundreds of billions of dollars in climate spending in his infrastructure plan, including over a trillion in green energy tax credits, $274 billion to build and “retrofit” affordable housing, $174 billion for electric vehicles, $100 billion for improving electric grids, $16 billion to plug oil and gas wells, $10 billion for a “Civilian Climate Corps,” and $5 billion for climate research.
Leftist Senate Democrats have also ramped up demands for green spending.
“No climate, no deal,” Sen. Ed Markey (D-MA) wrote on social media on Wednesday.
Senate Republicans are opposed to Biden’s planned spending on green energy, arguing that the money should focus on traditional infrastructure projects like roads and bridges.
Gore also urged Biden to stop the Byhalia Pipeline in Tennessee, a project targeted by “environmental justice” activists who claim it will risk the drinking water of the black community in Memphis.
Leftist celebrity activists Jane Fonda and Danny Glover have also rallied opposition to the pipeline.

Molded Fiber Glass, a South Dakota manufacturer of wind turbine blades has announced its closure. The retrenchment of three hundred of those largely mythical US renewables jobs, due to the growing Chinese stranglehold on the unreliables industry, is the reality of the great green dream of Biden, Kerry and Gore.
Gore owns a whole Feet of Limos he drove a Lexus 450h Hybrid and he refused to take Personal Energy Ethics Pledge so do the Greens still support this Dip-Wad?
It will be interesting to see what these millions will do to alter climate. I wonder how much will be directed toward controlling the movement of the Earth’s tectonic plates. Another suggestion … control the declination of the Earth’s axis. Maybe the precession of the axis. OH, and the orbit of the Earth m ight also be a big help.
Until these are under control the climate will continue on its natural cycles, oblivious to man’s actions.
Other theories of global warming should be given due consideration before we follow the Gores of the world and commit economic suicide to “save the planet”

Nobody quite gores the economy as bloodily as Al does.
If Gore the Bore was so concerned about this Global Warming/Climate Change he would be living in a Grass Hut without Electricity and Running Water and would walk to all his big time functions But this spoiled little brat wont be doing that he way too spoiled to give up his lifestyle
