And, I agree....we would have preserved the nation, developed mass transit, and may have developed alternative energy by now.

Who are you guys kidding? Gore was, and IS, in the pocket of Occidental (OXY).. Has been since his father was Armand Hammer's big-wig on Capitol Hill.. And he was instrumental in insuring that OXY was able to win the bid for the Elk Hills Oil reserve:

Gore’s vaunted record as an environmental populist clashed harshly with the 1996 Elk Hills-Occidental deal. Democratic fund-raiser (and former Gore campaign manager) Tony Cohelo sat on the board of the private company hired to provide an environmental impact report for the Energy Department. After the deal was approved, Peter Eisner of the DC-based Center for Public Integrity remarked, “I can’t say that I’ve ever seen an environmental assessment prepared so quickly.” Perhaps even more damning, Elk Hills is part of the Kitanemuk people’s traditional lands. Despite protests from the tribe, it took less than five years for Occidental’s massive operations to wipe out any trace of the 100 native archaeological sites, including ancient burial grounds, that were left in Elk Hills.

And besides, he and the Clintons had 8 years to develop alternative fuel concepts and I don't really see any of the results of that..
