Al Gore is an expert at claiming things as his invention or idea. You seem sincere in your commitment and I respect that
Most everyone would agree that alternative energy should be a goal. Most everyone would agree that pollution is bad. And honrestly, these feeling weren't inspired by any recent movement,just commonsense.
But when an affluent elitist preaches to the "little people" about "their wasteful ways," but doesn't act like it applies to him, the message appears to be hot air:) CRK

Fair enough, and I agree with you as well. However, the problem is that he is a very well known and respected politician. He's not anywhere even close to perfect, and he may be hypocritical, but that's no reason to shoot down the idea. Yes, he should make severe changes to his own life before he expects other Americans to do the same. But the message still stands, regardless of his decision. Americans need to start finding their own integrity without pop culture having to lead the way.

Well I look at it this way: If he was elected 4 years ago, we might of wee a start by now. Gorge Bush is clearly thinking of one thing "oil" and building his oil empire.
I feel he has no regards for the American people and his only agenda was getting Iraq"s oil and hiding behind terrorism to build his empire which is truly sad!
Thanks for the debate appreciate it

OK, your never going to convince me that by drilling more Oil, the economy will suffer. That's just insane.
Gore is the one who brought up ending dependence on foreign oil, so I don't know who said anything about a boycott.
I realize that our domestic product may never be able to fully cover domestic demand. However, if renewable energy products proliferate, domestic oil production could cover the remainder, you know, for people like AL Gore who don't practice what they preach. CRK

For me, I'd like Gore and other unelected activists attempting to implement policy, to at least be straight forward about the details of their plan, instead of wrapping every presentation in obvious half truths. Bush is gone in a few months. The question is, whether or no the era of secretive government is too... CRK

LOL. Actually the worst damage was promoted by the Left. It is a fact the largest portion of Greenhouse Gas Emissions come from Power Plants. The cleanest, mnost EFFECIANT Power Plant is a Nuclear Power Plant. Now why aren't Nuclear Power Plants all across the country which pioneered Nuclear Tech? Well it's a funny story; turns out that until about 5 years ago, the "No Nukes" Movement was one of the Left's most sucessfull efforts. But, OK, it's greed that makes us wary of Leftist advice:) CRK

If Regan would have listend to Jimmy Carter and not DISMANTLED the energy plan in which he installed then we wouldn't be in this mess. For years republicans have aligned themselves with the "big oil companies" and if you notice it's always some extremely rich republicans running those companies in the first place so obviously they will never devorce themselves from their counterparts until something catasrophic happens.

For me I just think it's a bad Idea to drill every place in the USA and then let Bush and Chaney" benefits from domestic oil.
Here's something to think about Bush is trying to propose a hydrocarbon law and the Bush administration wants the Iraqi Parliament to pass it, this will effectively place the country's massive oil reserves in the hands of big U.S. and British oil giants for decades.

PS: My point to this is even if you increase your drilling you can't support your own economy
PS: How come the oil companies don't use the 68 million acres of federal land and offshore sites now leased by oil companies that sit idle?
Because they are use this crises to get more federal land, and you know who is happy to push this through. You guest it "Bush and Chaney" It benefits them and oil companies.
