Like building new refineries, nuclear plants, or drilling for oil domestically?

Those aren't exactly "green" projects. The envirowhackos hate all three of those. Maybe I totally misunderstood the premise of your original comment - or maybe you misunderstood mine.

Gore is unknowingly undermining the environmental movement by proving himself a fraud and a hypocrite, as well as an easy media target. He puts a face to the movement that, til now, has lacked a figurehead. And it's not a very flattering face.

As more and more people figure this out, they will begin to reject the global warming cult and may, in fact, sign off on the energy projects you mention whereas they might otherwise believe the hysteria crowd and think they just need to consume less energy.

Those aren't really green, except maybe the nukes, but they are projects that make sense but aren't likely to happen in a substantial way. There are some projects that are seen as 'green' even though that is not necessarily the intent that get good support now because of the financial angle and to keep and attract investors the market needs some stability...and this stability is threatened by the hype coming from Al Gore. Investors don't want to sink billions into what could prove to be a fad.
