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.
In a word, yes.
Trick question?
NO, he’s not nuts. He’s a hypocrite who is making a ton of money from this.
Al Gore is crazier than a sh*thouse rat.
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.
Unquestionably and Evilly so.
I like his last book, which is properly named “Assault on Reason”
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.
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.
Sorry for the triple post. My button got stuck.
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.
I Think The Arabian Peninsula is Sandy.. I Concurr!
are you series?
Nut, yes.
He is also beginning to look like Jabba the Hut.
BTW- I think I’ll ask another question if anyone wants to answer it: if Al’s daddy hadn’t been who he was, just where would Al jr. be today?
I smile and say...Would you get me my lemonade please.
He goes to the tree...Picks a lemon...goes to the sugar cane patch...cuts a stalk...
Life is tough on a deserted island!!
This con man flunked out of college, but the msm promotes him as a scientific genius. They ridicule Pres. Bush as being stupid, though he did manage to graduate from Yale and Harvard.
The press is no better than Jay Leno, who has no college degree, but makes jokes about how dumb Pres. Bush is in every monologue, as though this is fresh comedy material. Talk about dumb...
Yes, of course. I'm surprised you need ask.
Is Al Gore nuts?
He's crazy like a fox ..... a very self-serving and greedy fox.
I don't know ... but if he is, he should stay away from Jesse Jackson.
No, just greedy.
Same thing with the homo issue...."Gett'em while they're young". It's called...
One self-appointed messiah at a time is all any one nation should have to tolerate. People saving us from every direction.
gore grew up rich. his father planted him in a washington d.c. hotel room while he attended private schools.
his father was a u.s. senator and gopher for armand hammer, the oil tycoon, and go-between the u.s. government and lenin, stalin, krushchev, breshnev, etc.
his father owned a cattle farm in tennessee. rich buyers would come to his auctions, buy the over-priced breeding animals, but never pick up their cattle, thus, donating money to gore sr.
like many of his affluence al hates capitalism and likes the united nations.
global warming is his means of destroying free market economies and nation states and turning us over to a one world government.
even though he is a leftist I appreciate his reality check.
Is AL Gore Nuts?
That's like asking..
AlGore “The Inventor of the Internet” is demonstrably many things. One thing that he is NOT is “nuts”.
What he has done is very clever and very deliberate and very evil, and he has made a shirtload of money in the process. He has permanently affected the economies of countries around the globe, and he has tragically altered government policies in both hemispheres. He has had a large role to play in what is going to be a major shift of wealth from certain governments and certain segments of Society, to others.
And he continues to make double-handfuls of money off the folly of anyone silly enough to pay attention.
“Nuts?” Nope. “Nuts” doesn’t cover it. He is an Evil Genius of the same type and scale of megalomania as Blofield of Dr No or Goldfinger or any of the Bad Heads that Ian Fleming ever dreamed up for James Bond to vanquish.
Where is 007 when we need him?
In all seriousness, I think the 2000 election drove the man over the edge.
As VP, he was a reasonably well-spoken guy with a variety of issues he pursued. I disagreed with about everything he said and did during that time, but he was relatively sober and analytical.
After the 2000 election, he disappeared for months, only to show up at the 9/11 service in a beard and a waxy complexion with glassy uncomprehending eyes.
Then, he disappeared again and reemerged as the frantic, caustic, hyperbole-spewing uber-pseudo Earth Firster and global warming messiah.
I honestly think he suffered some sort of emotional breakdown as a result of the stress of the 2000 election.
He flunked out of Vanderbilt Divinity school and their Law School. I am having a hard time figuring out how you flunk God. Jackson, Sharpton, Wright and a bunch of other Rocket Scientists made it through, why couldn’t this Loon?
Gore enrolled at the Divinity school so he could leave Vietnam early. Not that he was doing much in Vietnam since he was some kind of journalist.
He dropped out of Vanderbilt Law School. His mother was the first female graduate of the Law School.


Ohh WOE is me... whys everybody pickin on me???
Crazy Al Gorebal.
(1) Al was incapable of recognizing statues of Washington and Jefferson during a tour of Monticello shortly after being elected vice-president.
(2) He became lost for hours in the woods adjacent to the vice-president's residence within a few days after moving in. Search parties had to be called in.
(3)Like the ignorant fool he is, in order to demonstrate his rugged manhood, he stuck his tongue down his wife's throat in front of millions.
(4) He's not only stuck on stupid, he's stuck on the sophomoric idea that the globe has overheated and the polar regions will turn into Riviera-like resorts.
(5) He is incapable of speaking to a group of people in sentences that make any sense.
(6) He is guilty of mindless consumption of everything, especially food. He eats and eats and eats and the result is something that resumbles a man-bear-pig. His wife Tipsy suffers from the same hoggish eating disorder. Actually it's not only the Gorebals that suffer, it's most Democrats and especially the Clinton duo. La Clinton once ate three breakfasts in upstate New York consisting of eggs, potatoes, sausages, a rack of toast and a pot of coffee. She was so sated with chow that she forgot to pay, or to leave a tip.
They, at times, have amused us, but I, for one, am getting more than a little tired of their antics. It's long past time to zip up their straitjackets and shove them into padded rooms.
Oh, and another thing. Take that verbose, simple, communist-muslim Obama with them.
Has anyone documented his behavior and the timeline you lay out?
“I like Neal’s perspective on the moonbeam ignorance of AL Gore.”
I don’t, because he still buys into the whole “global warming” scam. Dishearteningly, so do about 50% of the people who commented on the article, at least as far as I read. His main criticism of Gore seems to be that he’ll frighten the horses and put people off.
Not to my knowledge.
I base my opinion on my observations (through the media, of course) of him through the years 1988 - current.
He just isn’t the same guy, IMO.
Al Gore was the driving force behind the Ozone Hole scare of the late 80s and the resulting Freon ban resulting in billions, and possibly trillions, of dollars needlessly spent to replace all air conditioning units through out the world. It was quite a boon for the air conditioning industry, but just think of how that money could have been spent on more worthy projects.
He flunked out of Divinity school, so he invented his own religion.
God must be laughing hard at this fool and his arrogance.
Is this a rhetorical question?
You nailed it Skooz - I watched the 60 minutes interview with algore and fam and they basically said as much. There were times when wife would say “I’m so proud of him” i.e. “look how far he’s come”.
> Al Gore was the driving force behind the “Ozone Hole” scare of the late 80s and the resulting Freon ban resulting in billions, and possibly trillions, of dollars needlessly spent to replace all air conditioning units through out the world.
He is the sort of villain that you just can’t make up as a matter of fiction: only real life could create Al Gore.
Even Dr No — who I thought was a fairly implausible Bad Guy — seems more believable by way of scale. AlGore: ex-VP of the US. Multi-squillionaire lining his pockets on the basis of bogus Gummint policy. Wins academy award. Win Nobel Peace Prize. Has a group of followers that comprise some of the most powerful politicians and captains of industry in the world. Able to influence Economies, Markets and International policy at will...
Nope. Definitely we need James Bond to take this guy out.
