  Wood...Methanol can be made out of Algore?

Yes.

Unfortunately, the resulting volume of methanol equates to only about 25% of US's gasoline demands, and only for a brief 5-year period.

Worse, Al Gore is a finite resource. Consumed in this fashion, he cannot be considered "renewable," and hence is not very "green."

On the other hand...

If you could efficiently harness all of his hot air (and tailpipe emissions -- God help us), and use it to pressurize compressed-air powered cars, you could satisfy half of America's transportation needs indefinitely!

The only question is "with what shall we replace him?" when he inevitably beaches himself. That will be a dark day for our economy, indeed.
