In a recent poll, 75% of Americans said high gas prices (4.00 a gallon) was a BIGGER problem than "global warming" THAT is why algore came out the other day. Global warming is a hoax!

sockos- There is plenty of oil but you are right cheap oil is gone for now, google J.D. Bell to see what he is doing with rubbish to oil if you get a chance. Final point, both guys in Nov are advocating a carbon tax so no matter where we get the fuel from we will be fuked in the ass by the govt so they can send money to africa to buy carbon credits.

Am for wind, bio-diesel, solar, etc. But you can't just change the world overnight. Plus on top of that the alternate fuels can't supply the world with the power it needs. Am all for cheaper and renewable energy but taxing doesnt NOTHING. Thats all the progressives are about. Redistribution of wealth.

Because 75% Americans formulate their opinions without knowing what they're talking about, like you.

Climate change is an observed fact, k? *slaps*

it simply doesn't matter if global warming is or isn't a hoax. fossil fools are running this country into the ground. cheap oil for the US is over. when we make the transition to free energy *renewables* we'll be kickin ourselves for not doing it 30 yrs ago.

The manipulation in this segment is amazing. It's diabolically clever the way the producers use the female anchor as uncertain "advocate" to give the guest free reign to speak as informed "adversary." What a brilliant way to outsource the obvious talking points against Gore while associating Gore's position with the female anchor's seemingly weak command of the issue.

The guest speaks with authority, fires off "facts," and commands the camera's attention while the anchor plays the foil. Oof.

"Americans for Prosperity" is a Charles D Koch Foundation group. The Koches are the billionaire owners of Koch (petroleum) Industries.

Koch Industries received a $30,000,000.00 criminal fine in March 2000:

This is the largest penalty imposed on a company under environmental laws- resulting from over three hundred violations of the Oil Pollution Act in six states. The largest single spill was 100,000 gallons of crude oil which caused a 12-mile oil slick on Nueces Bay.
