Al Gore's Moon Shot

For some reason, people pay attention to what Al Gore has to say. Personally, I'd rather have a buxom beauty like Helen Mirren fronting the push to save ourselves from the sooty grip of fossil fuels. Maybe I just can't get too excited about a bloated lizard man whose voice defines the word "droning". But it's in that very voice that he's announced the findings of his Alliance for Climate Protection, which has decided that the U.S. can go totally carbon-free within ten years for the bargain basement price of between 1.5 and 3 trillion dollars. This is actually a welcome issue, since the weird focus on creating non-gas burning cars seems so ridiculous when you consider the fact that our coal burning power plants are the real greenhouse builders. Nuclear is looking like a better and better option, especially now that Superman has agreed to hurl all our toxic waste into the sun. I'm sure nothing could go wrong with that plan. More details here.
