CHICAGO (WBBM) -- Former Vice President Al Gore drew a crowd of a few hundred yesterday at the State Street Borders store - where he autographed his latest book, "Our Choice: A Plan to Solve the Climate Crisis."
WBBM's Steve Miller was there.
Al Gore chit-chatted as he signed books.
One young fan asked him which was cheaper, power from wind or from water?
"Wind or water?" Gore asked.
"Which is cheaper?" the young man wanted to know.
"Water is presently the cheaper," Gore explained, "because it's hard to get new hydro-sources. So wind is cheaper for the new... Thanks for coming."
A couple of protesters were tossed out, and some others gathered outside the store at State and Randolph to sing a protest song.
"Al Gore will kill you," the song said, "not CO2."
