Al Gore has a new boat and even it is green.

The boat is docked at Hurricane Marina on Center Hill Lake in Smithville, about 70 miles east of Nashville.

While it doesn't have solar panels yet, a spokesperson at Gore's office told News 2 they are scheduled to be installed Wednesday.

The boat is named Bio-Solar One and has been called the "Toyota Prius of boats"...

When you see them side-by-side, the B.S. One looks just a mite larger than a Prius.

I imagine he wrote off the whole purchase as a business expense for his global warming scam. And I guess that is a Jetson solar powered jet ski on the back.

Big Al is going to find out soon why doublewides are called toronado targets. Of course, global warming made him do it.

I’m sure that jet-ski (yeah, yeah, I know the new word is “personal water craft”) is solar powered.

Okay, can't resist — Bipolar One.

How much you wanna bet that he doesn't even hook up the solar panels. He'll just haul them around the world and show off how green he is.

It looks like he could fit a hundred of his fellow eco-saints at a time, relaxing under the shade of the solar panels. Of course, those hundred would have to get their own transportation to the lake, which is 70 miles from Nashville. And I bet not all of his friends are in Nashville, either. They are probably all over the world, he's a Nobel Prize winner you know, and they would have to fly over on their personal jets to Nashville in order to huddle under his solar panels.

Subtract the friends who would only ride on his boat as holograms, though, so there's some savings.

How topheavy is that tub going to be with enough solar panels to power that behemoth?

This is amazing. Even The Secret Service chase boats are going to be "green".

Al Gore has a new boat and even it is green.

EVEN it's green like the Gulfstream he flies around in, the limos he rides around in, the house with the $30,000 annual electricity bill? Green like those?

The contempt if feel for that PoS is indescribable
