| Description | Of all the possible Chrysler Group buyers with billions of dollars burning holes in their pockets, there is only one who has a chance of saving the troubled automaker AND our greenhouse-gassed planet: Al Gore.
You can stop laughing now. Al isn't just your typical former U.S vice president, best-selling author, Oscar winner for his movie, "An Inconvenient Truth," and 2007 Nobel Peace Prize nominee.
It's time for him to stop relying on the bully pulpit and the big screen, and put some skin in the game. He should buy Chrysler, which parent DaimlerChrysler put up for sale in February, and make it the greenest automaker on the planet.
Dump Chrysler's gasoline-fueled internal combustion engines altogether and replace them with fuel cells, electric motors and engines that run on biofuels, such as ethanol and biodiesel.
Gore could make a killing if consumers were to buy up Chrysler's all-green cars and trucks. And that would force other automakers to follow suit with their own green fleets, which is Gore's larger aim in life.
A Gore-owned Chrysler could catapult Granholm's aim to make Michigan the nation's leader in alternative energy. |
