FORMER US vice-president Al Gore has called for a "man on the moon" effort to ditch oil and switch all of the nation's power production to wind, solar and other carbon-free sources within 10 years. He said this goal would solve global warming as well as economic and national security crises caused by dependence on fossil fuels.
