Al Gore's lunacy and hypocrisy

Some cogent comments culled from The Week:
Marlo Lewis in National Review Online: "It would take about three trillion to realize Gore's messianic energy project." Bret Stephens in the Wall Street Journal: "Gore never was one for inconvenient facts. He's forgotten that when the wind stops blowing and the sun stops shining, the power they produce ceases as well. Wind and solar will always have to be backed up by oil, coal, and nuclear. Since Gore routinely ignores both science and sense, why does anyone take him seriously?"

"The hypocrite is always happy to adopt bold solutions for other people's energy use," according to Lorne Gunter in the National Post. "Meanwhile, Gore lives in a 10,000 square -foot Tennessee mansion that 'produces a carbon footprint 20 times that of the average American home.' He and his retinue arrived for his speech in two Lincoln Town Cars and a full-size SUV. What a phony."
