I was laughing while I read what is in the link.
Gore--Let's ban cars from cities and spend $90 trillion to make it so.

    He said it! He looked a camera right in the eye and said it!

    I always knew his looked-for future was one in which no person, save an LEO, an active-duty military person, or himself or one of his fellow members of the International Set, or their chauffeurs would even be let near a private automobile.

    That's an interesting thought. Shrewd advisers who only give a damn about their $ cut.

    Let's put the nut bag in paper slippers and stuff him in a rubber room.

    I'll bet Clinton and Obama will think this is a well idea & congress will approve it like they just approved that climate change is a real crisis.

    I wonder what kind of investments the two of them have in companies that would benefit from this.

    Completely clueless!
    It's hard to believe that a man who rose to such great prominence and came within a hair's breadth of becoming president could be so ignorant.

    That's the voting public paying attention. He couldn't even carry his own state. He made millions on fake climate crisis then comes up with another insane scheme. He wants us to spend trillions to eliminate cars while he jets around the world. When will voters start checking out a candidate's history before voting?

    yes I AM out of sync with him and his crowd. However, he is proof of an insane person making money. Maybe he has good advisers.

    let's assume just for the sake of fun that this project will actually make society a better place. The 90 billion dollar price tag would be just the tip of the iceberg. Here in Charlotte North Carolina they decided to build a light rail line up and down a road called South Boulevard. The initial projected cost for this project was 80 million dollars, by the time we got to the end of it it was four hundred and forty million dollars. These people couldn't foorcast the price of a glass of lemonade if they were going to sell it at a lemonade stand.nevermind the fact that the transit line makes no money whatsoever and only survived because three quarters of every ticket cost is subsidized.never mind that a high proportion of the people riding it do not buy a ticket. They don't even have ticket takers. They just supposedly write you a ticket if they catch you in the ticketed area of the waiting area. should I even discuss the traffic jams that occur when this stupid train goes up and down the train line which crosses south Boulevard on two occasions. of course this sort of project is par for the course for Charlotte North Carolina. I was at an event at the NASCAR Hall of Fame in Charlotte this week. Another boondoggle which is built with taxpayer funds and has lost money ever since they built it. recently the city buffaloed the banks that loaned them the money into forgiving the loan. I'll tell you without a doubt that they will still lose money even after the loans are gone. Of course even though the city was forgiven the loans the bank shareholders will get stuck with the bill. fail to pay the mortgage on your house and see if the bank forgives your loan and let you stay there, good luck. We're in the process now of building another light transit line from downtown to the university area. They haven't even broken ground in there already in a cost overrun.

    Al Gore goes completely insane? No, he's been completely insane for decades, if not for his entire life.

    Perhaps you are only out of sync with Gore's support base with its philosophy of liberalism, a mental disorder.
    Gore may be crazy as a fox but he is still crazy.

    Because we know better than you. Because the environment is being destroyed. Because my "idea" is not just an idea, but a scientific fact, and it will fix the unknown problems of the environment.

    These guys, just grab the limelight with sensationalist, technically unfounded plans to fix problems that may or may not be problems, in an untested manner without controls.

    We need real engineers going to step up and develop compelling cases that these people of fools?

    a response to your last sentence allosaur and referring to a posting discussion yesterday, the fact that he won the popular vote is evidence and proof of the intelligence of the nation based upon the school system that is in place.

    Your use of the present tense is confusing.

    I maintain that Gore went batsh*t insane after the 2000 election, and has been growing steadily worse since.

    He can start by imploding his 10,000 sq ft estate in Tennessee and giving up his private jet.

    First of all gore cannot go where he already is.

    second, if he is present at a economical conference that tells you that the economical conference is populated by people of equal insanity by virtue of the company they keep.

    Al is insane but I am guessing this is serious. It starts a conversation in the direction these wack jobs want to go. Of course if Obama succeeds and radical Islamist groups get control of all the major cities we will all be riding camels soon.

    I also strongly admire Gore for clever strategy in-
    avoiding debate but enhancing his public profile,
    hypocrisy in making money from oil while condemning fossil fuel use.

    I dont agree with Gore on anything. The mission impossible challenge (if you choose to accept it) is how to legally distract these loons so they do as little damage as possible. Perhaps he could solve the pollution from container ships "problem" as a followup to creating the internet.

    (Replacing all container ships with electric trains using undersea tunnels at a cost of $1,000 trillion does not qualify as a solution.)
