Some real Gore haters here. Gore is chairman of this company and a partner at Kleiner Perkins, a venture capital firm in Silicon Valley. These are private companies that do not sell anything related to global warming. They do invest in new technologies and enterprises that have lasting value. Google Generation Investment Management or find the stories that were all over the press about Gore joining Kleiner. The media likes to say this is Gore's office, but as chairman I doubt he'll be there much. THe US operations of the investment firm, which was co-founded by a top Goldman Sachs partner, will be there. I don't see why this is seen as somehow incongruous with his global warming work or that he is cashing in on it. Neither appears to be true.
