The point is "the right" wanted to take your interest away from the environment and fossil fuels and keep it focused on a singular individual you can hate. Like sheep you knock each other over trying to get through that door.
Please tell the class all about fossil fuels and the environment. Is Al portraying reality or is it more junk science?
Convince me the media portrays a fair knowledge of coal fired power plants. The research and technology in this country gets pushed aside and ignored by the majority of the "greenies" and the dipshits they endorse for office and our media eats it up. Down with the establishment. I have been in probably 75% of the power plants in the southern US and the offices of the majority of the energy contractors in this country. These people are improving emissions and efficiency by the day and guys like Al Gore don't have a freakin' clue what is really going on.
Ethanol and biofuel plants are booming. Supplemental alternatives. But all the media reports is we've got to get away from fossil fuels. Fossil fuels account for a helluva lot more than gas for the family automobiles on top of it all. Look around your house and think about how many things in your everyday life come from fossil fuels. Fossil fuels and products made from them and used by them drive our economy and our world.
Why doesn't anyone look at the positive of what technology and industry are up to. This planet is a helluva lot cleaner today than it was 30 years ago and it's because our scientists and engineers do care and are striving to make this a better world to live in. Face the fact that internal combustion engines may never be completely replaced, at least not for a long time. They will however become more and more efficient and cleaner. It's technology.
Al Gore = Mikey Moore, all fluff and BS, no content.
