The environment needs a freed Gore

Sir in “Drafting Gore” October 15, you are absolutely right about that politics still pull a lot of weight for the Gore camp probably especially so for his closest aids. Many of us cannot wait for Al Gore to make clean break with the politics that tie his hands and so that he will at least be able to utter the word petrol-tax. It is a bit strange to say the least to see a country like Norway, and that even though an oil country applies immense taxes on the domestic consumption of petrol, because of his efforts for a better environment, awards the Nobel prize to a man that does not even mumble about the need of taxing more the consumption of petrol in the USA.
