Forget what Gore does for a second with the lights in his house or the fuel in his jets. Wipe it from your brain.

Do you think:

- The US should use more wind power?
- More clean nuclear power?
- Develop hydrogen fuel cells, electric cars, etc?
- Import less oil from other countries?
- Drive the price of gas and electricity down using these market forces?

Nobody cares what you think of Al Gore. The question is do you think this is a good plan? I'd love to hear a reason why not.

Absolutely I think it's a good plan. I thought I made that clear with other comments. If I haven't, I apologize.

My point about him diminishing the cause is not about me personally, I already made comments about how I have gone more green, it's about the people that will be turned off by his comments thus making his paramount message much less relevant with society. It's a shame someone more honest, trustworthy, and reputable hasn't stood up to be the spokesperson for going green.

All in all, the message is great, it just doesn't have the teeth I wish it did.
