Vice President Gore won his Nobel Prize for his “work” on climate change.  But you know, the market doesn’t really care about that.  They only care that he keeps backing losers. The Street (10/4/12) reports: “Three years ago, First Solar seemed on its way: Interest in solar was at an all-time-high -- as were subsidies for making, installing and using it.

As Kreutzer points out, the agencies unwittingly made a great argument for increased domestic oil...
