WASHINGTON Former Vice President Al Gore said on Thursday that Americans must abandon electricity generated by fossil fuels within a decade and rely on the sun, the winds and other environmentally friendly sources of power, or risk losing their national security as well as their creature comforts.

Stuffed shirt telling everyone to be a hippie. Whatever.
Gore did criticize President Bush's proposal to resume offshore oil drilling as a way to address the current energy crisis.
"It is only a truly dysfunctional system that would buy into the perverse logic that the short-term answer to high gasoline prices is drilling for oil 10 years from now in areas that should be protected," he said.
The presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama issued a statement after the speech, saying he strongly agrees with Gore that the U.S. cannot drill its way to energy independence, but must boost investments in renewable sources of energy. Obama said it is a strategy that will create millions of new jobs and leave American children with a cleaner and safer world.
You know what, Al? Shut the hell up. Your fifteen minutes are over, your CG falling ice has been exposed, your powerpoint is stupid and boring. Go away. Go move to some island and talk to the coconuts.
You too, Obama. You two can babble about credits and change to each other.
