He’s a raving lunatic, but calling for attacks on coal plants is taking it to a new level.

It’s good to be non-violent, but you can be non-violent and respect property rights. Coal plants have their civil rights too, Al.

“combat the construction of coal power plants without the ability to store carbon ....”

Are there any coal power plants that don’t already have huge stockpiles of carbon? Does Gore know the difference between “carbon” and “carbon dioxide”? Seriously.

“the one who is supposed to enforce the law”

What law? The law that says your property is yours to deal with, or the law that lets, say, unions tresspass and crack people’s heads open?

civil disobedience isn’t attacking a coal plant, it would be more like standing in front of the a dump truck trying to bring coal in, forcing the truck either to stop or run them over.
