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"...

If you never take it out and run it on shore power it won’t need to be fueled very often.
The Skipper took it out on a Four-Hour Tour.
It looks like about an 80 foot houseboat.
Here is a link to a different almost new 80 footer. Check out the specs.
They are full of crap on it being a ‘prius’.

Ah, thanks. Most of the people I know with boats over 30’ rarely leave the slip nowadays except in their tender/ dinghy with the price of fuel being what it is.
That’s not Algore’s boat, but I know where it’s docked.
We have a 40 ft sailboat docked in Ventura. I was there last week and the 2 guys across from me (40 ft motoryachts) had just filled up for a trip to Santa Cruz Island. Cost one of them $1800.
I think he’d be able to fill up the black water tank by himself in one fell dump.
Half the country would still probably applaud him for that.
If this boat truly is the Prius of boats then it must be the most environmentally damaging boat in production.
Congresswoman:
Lets use America's resources for Americans.
Drill Here, Drill Now, Stop Democrat Hyocracy.
How do you Ms. Pelosi expect to end dependence on foreign oil, if the same idiotic breath, you prevent America and Americans from solving the problem.
With respect, at least all I can muster, get off your comfortable backside, and do something positive.
Call Congress back into session, NOW! Vote on offshore drilling.

Al finishing off another 'carbon offset' hoagie.
Ah, you’re in Venura? I was there in June. I had dinner at Prime Steakhouse, ever been there?
“The contempt if feel for that PoS is indescribable.”
Couldn’t have said it better, myself.
Don’t the other EnviroWeenies SEE this excess? Good Golly, they’re ALL freakin’ NUTS.
Never been there. We don’t live in Ventura, just have our boat docked there. Live in Bakersfield.
It is said to be on Center Hill Lake, about 75 miles east of Nashville. I’ll pass by close to it on the way back from the Smoky Mtns.
