Al Gore lays down green challenge to America

[That Guy]

well, the drilling in alaska they're talking about has NOTHING there... just barren ice, so i don't think that's a big deal... i'm not sure about the florida or california offshore stuff though.

and going green isn't a bad idea, but plug in electric cars use batteries, like hybrids do, which create a bigger environmental impact than driving a 13mpg hummer around all day. batteries are NOT eco-friendly.

the first step is a better battery, which really hasn't change in over 3000 years. they just figured out those nano-fiber channel deals though, so expediting that would prove a huge boost towards both reducing energy costs and reducing environmental impact.
