I know, its very frustrating. Unfortunately ill-informed people still get to vote. In the words of Kent Brockman:
"I've said it before and I'll say it again: Democracy simply doesn't work!"
Did Gore mention nuclear? He usually pretends it doesn't exist. I don't know how the Oak Ridge people haven't sent a hit squad out for him.

I could be wrong, but as far as I recall from the talk, he did not mention nuclear at all.

I am so exhausted with all the carbon and energy garbage going on now. We want green power!.... but not from nuclear, wind, and solar might be bad too. We have to spend billions of dollars to combat global warming!... although, most scientists and smart people admit that we likely have nothing or extremely little to do with global weather changes.
It is just such crap.  Has anybody told these people that they are driving our nation into the ground. 30 years ago, we thought the earth was going to freeze over because of global cooling. In another ten years there will undoubtedly be another "catastrophe" that requires billions of dollars to fix. I can't express how bad all this chaps my ass. In fact I think I am going to invest all my money in ass chapstick in anticipation of all the other people who's asses will be chapped by this idiotic and very costly environmentalist fad. I'll be the guy who struck it rich on ass chappery.

The government subsidizing or wholly paying for the construction and staffing of cleaner power plants would be more fiscally irresponsible (fiscally mind you, not environmentally) than continuing with the failed experiment that is Social Security. The free market will correct its environmentally un-friendly ways on its own when petroleum products become prohibitively expensive (pretty much there already). If the government intervenes while in its current debt-ridden state, the "new economy" you speak of will be very, very ugly. Who knows, maybe we'll all be fleeing to Mexico for good jobs.
I don't think we can, in good conscience, raise taxes at a time like this. Raising taxes on the middle-class puts them in a position where they're unable to raise their family. Raising taxes on business owners causes them to either (a) pass the tax cost on to the consumer in the price of their service or product, or (b) go out of business. It doesn't take a genius to figure out that either of these choices are unacceptable for all Americans. You can pay an inflated cost for the things you need, causing your individual financial collapse. Or you can lose your job because your boss went out of business, causing your individual financial collapse.
Cutting spending though, that's a different story. We certainly can do that! Revising or eliminating failed spending programs like the aforementioned Social Security wouldn't be a bad start. We could also reduce the troop count and overall military presence in Iraq. It's been said before but it bears repeating: No self-respecting business owner would operate their business in the same manner as the U.S. government........they'd have gone bankrupt long ago. The bright side is that there's a lot of room for improvement.

Dude, what you are saying about climate change couldn't be father from the truth. But that's, once again, thanks to wacky extremists who have cried wolf one too many times. No wonder the public can't tell apart propaganda from science any more.

How do you explain the massive climate changes that have occurred over time then? For example, did the dinosaurs get into some crazy industrial stage that none of us know about that somehow triggered the ice ages (joke)? We went through a mini ice age in the 1500's and I am sure that all sorts of crazy climate changes will continue to occur throughout the planets future. I just think it is preposterous to say that you know why the climate is changing and that it is because I am driving an SUV (I don't BTW). For every article and scientist who says we are causing global warming, there is at least one, who says that is a garbage theory. Just because the media and the outspoken "Gorists" talk loudly doesn't mean that their side of the story is correct.
(For some reason I am irritable today)
