WASHINGTON — Former Vice President Al Gore said on Thursday that Americans must abandon fossil fuels within a decade and rely on the sun, the winds and other environmentally friendly sources of power, or risk losing their national security as well as their creature comforts.
“The survival of the United States of America as we know it is at risk,” Mr. Gore said in a speech to an energy conference here. He called for the kind of concerted national effort that enabled Americans to walk on the moon 39 years ago this month, just eight years after President John F. Kennedy famously embraced that goal.
Mr. Gore said the goal of producing all of the nation’s electricity from “renewable energy and truly clean, carbon-free sources” within 10 years is not some farfetched vision, although he said it would require fundamental changes in political thinking and personal expectations.
“This goal is achievable, affordable and transformative,” Mr. Gore said in remarks prepared for the conference. “It represents a challenge to all Americans, in every walk of life — to our political leaders, entrepreneurs, innovators, engineers, and to every citizen.”

Gore is absolutely nuts!

The survival of the US is definitely at risk if we listen to this A$$hole.

Oh go blow it out your ample *ss Gore. Every time he makes one of these asinine statements I have to remind myself how close he came to being our leader, and I get a shiver each and every time.
Al, the Liberal psycho, is off his Prozac again. He and Pelosi need major psychiatric help, IMO.
Is he going to start using a hang-glider to get to all of his global warming conferences?
he also wanted to be president and lets not forget he thinks he invented the internet.
Haven't you experienced your rebirth in Obama? When the Obamessiah takes office, you can get in your car with no gas in the tank and whisper, reverently, "in the name of the Obama, the Michelle and the Algore, 'renewable energy,'" and your car will operate!
You go first, Al.
Who nominated this arogant, self gratifying idiot King?
Al Gore needs immediate and continuing psychiatric care. He is delusional and megalomaniacal. I’m not a doctor but I know crazy when I see it!
Hard to believe that people actually think this nutjob is some kind of savior.
I’d like to think we can reach the goal, not by 2018, but by the end of 2008, to abandon anything to do with AlGore. Would be great to reach this goal earlier, say by the end of the day on July 17, 2008... but December 31, 2008 will suffice.
Can we chip in for a rocket to send ALGORE into space (one way)?
So funny how this comes after a post about how Gore’s home electric bill went up 10%.
At least he has the decency never to employ alarmist hyperbole to manipulate the masses.
Oh, wait...
Gore should be confined to a rubber room with no objects more dangerous than fingerpaint. He’s loonier than a shithouse rat.
