Blood and Gore 108543[/snapback] Al, that 'Ol miner... CARTHAGE, Tenn. -- On his most recent tax return, as he has the past 25 years, Vice President Al Gore lists a $20,000 mining royalty for the extraction of zinc from beneath his farm here in the bucolic hills of the Cumberland River Valley. In total, Mr. Gore has earned $500,000 from zinc royalties. His late father, the senator, introduced him not only to the double-bladed ax but also to Armand Hammer, chairman of Occidental Petroleum Corp., which sold the zinc-rich land to the Gore family in 1973. It also seems that zinc from Mr. Gore's property ends up in the cool waters of the Caney Fork River, an oft-celebrated site in Gore lore. A major shaft and tailings pond of the Pasminco Zinc Mine sit practically in the backyard of the vice president's Tennessee homestead. Zinc and other metals from the Gore land move from underground tunnels through elaborate extraction processes. Waste material ends up in the tailings pond, from which water flows into adjacent Caney Fork, languidly rolling on to the great Cumberland. http://www.junkscience.com/jun00/gorezinc.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GG Posted November 9, 2004 Share Posted November 9, 2004 This is actually good. Put his money where his mouth is. If the investors in the fund are willing to accept a lower rate of return to support projects that are important to them, good for them. It will be a very interesting experiment to see whether it pans out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
