Al Gore Strikes Again!
Apparently, former Vice President Al Gore doesn’t think we’re paying enough for oil.
“The idea that we can drill our way out of this is just so absurd,” he said, comparing the push for offshore oil drilling — which has gained popularity and put environmentalists on the defense — to dealing with a hangover by having another drink.
“The defenders of the status quo are the ones who have dug us into this hole,” he said, commenting that Americans have been “so often fooled into finding a remedy for a problem” that has nothing to do with the problem at hand — pointing to the invasion of Iraq when America was attacked by terrorists in Afghanistan as an example.
“The engines of distraction and the great concentrated power of communication that you’ve seen turned on this issue or that issue is already hard at work,” he says. “They will say we can’t switch away from oil.”
“We have to switch our electricity generation system,” he says, noting that changing transportation fuels will take longer, before reiterating his plan to ensure that “100 percent of our electricity [comes] from renewable sources and carbon-constrained fuels over the next 10 years.”

Notice how he shoots off his mouth but never has any solutions. Like, what type and where are these renewable sources and carbon-constrained fuels going to come from? Can you imagine the mess this nation would have really been in if he got elected in 2000?

Read Adam Smith — the nature of Capitalism. Rising gas prices will automatically encourage more exploration and drilling, and give financial incentives for research into more efficient &/or alternative energy sources.

Please remove from your possession anything transported by truck. That means your houses/apts., your food, your clothing, all your electronic toys, your transportation, etc. Basically, it’s your entire life.
Now, that is what that nutball we had the unfortunate experience to have as a veep is advocating.
For everyone except himself and a few friends.
He’s a piece of pig dung, as is his token, Hussein, so much so that nobody can believe they’re that dumb so they must be right
