Last year Mr Gore's venture capital firm loaned a small California firm $75m 
  to develop energy-saving technology.

The company, Silver Spring Networks, produces hardware and software to make 
  the electricity grid more efficient.

The deal appeared to pay off in a big way last week, when the Energy 
  Department announced $3.4 billion in smart grid grants, the New York Times 
  reports. Of the total, more than $560 million went to utilities with which 
  Silver Spring has contracts.

Critics, mostly on the political right and among global warming sceptics, say 
  Mr. Gore is poised to become the world's first "carbon billionaire," 
  profiteering from government policies he supports that would direct billions 
  of dollars to the business ventures he has invested in.
