Is AL Gore Nuts?

In his speech in Constitution Hall this week, former Vice President and renewable energy investor Al Gore extolled a stretch goal challenging America to achieve 100% renewable power within 10 years. The quote: "Today I challenge our nation to commit to producing 100 percent of our electricity from renewable energy and truly clean carbon-free sources within 10 years." And my favorite part: "When President John F. Kennedy challenged our nation to land a man on the moon and bring him back safely in 10 years, many people doubted we could accomplish that goal. But 8 years and 2 months later, Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin walked on the surface of the moon."

That statement is about like challenging your 2 year old to finish college by the time she is 12. Not exactly practical, more than a little crazy, and likely to be either ignored, or if you push it, to cause lots of therapy sessions by the time she is 8. I will, however, credit him with getting almost every renewable energy platitude I've ever heard into one succinct speech.

I like Neal's perspective on the moonbeam ignorance of AL Gore.

[Daveinyork]

In a word, yes.

Trick question?

[SumProVita]

NO, he’s not nuts. He’s a hypocrite who is making a ton of money from this.

"Is Al Gore Nuts"?

Does a jackrabbit have a passing gear?

i’m one of the few people that have read two of his books:

earth in balance

and

an inconvenient truth.

they’re brain dead. series.

the ideas are presented at the 3rd grade level (probably to appeal to the majority of miseducated americans and immigrants.)

there are no citations of major scientific studies. no pro or con.

i checked them out of the library because i didn’t want to pay al goron.

Is there sand in the Sahara?
Do polar bears live in the Artic?
Is the MSM biased?

I honestly don't know if he is stupid, a fool, or a con artist. I do think (as all commies have been) mislead by what he has been taught.

“Nuts” is such a general term. At least, he’s delusional, at most, he’s a megalomaniac.

Beam me to Planet Gore !

[reagan_fanatic]

I don't think he's nuts. I do believe he believes in his own nonsense and sees it as a sure-fire way to make a healthy profit off of other people's gullibility.

[Vision]

Algore is dumb and intellectually corrput enough to believe he won the election in 2000. “Global Warming” is his way of outdoing Bush. He is insane.

[proudofthesouth]

Sorry for the triple post. My button got stuck.

[Conspiracy Guy]

Is Al Gore nuts?

Naw nuts is not extreme enough. We need a deeper term for Al.

Maybe someone can come up with a word.
