Al Gore, Bill Clinton, Harry Reid and Others Urge Climate Action at Clean Energy Forum. By H. Josef Hebert, AP, February 24, 2009. "Former Vice President Al Gore says lower oil prices shouldn't stall efforts to put a price on carbon emissions to combat climate change and reduce U.S. dependence on foreign oil. Gore told a clean energy conference Monday that oil prices are like a roller coaster and will go up again. Another participant in the conference, former President Bill Clinton, said energy efficiency should be a major part of reducing the country's oil dependence... Among other participants [at the forum sponsored by the Center for American Progress] were Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid of Nevada and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi of California as well as the Obama administration's top energy officials." See National Clean Energy Project 3-part video of the forum.
