Ted, and just like that, Al Gore wants all of our electricity generated through wind, solar, and other "Earth-friendly energy sources" within 10 years:

Other than hydro, geothermal, and biomass (i.e. methane from manure), what other energy sources does the Nobel Peace Prize laureate have in mind?

Gores ride to speech in 3 gas-guzzling vehicles--kept one idling for 20 min

By Amy Ridenour | July 18, 2008

Apparently complacent about criticism from the Tennessee Center for Policy Research that his family's energy use at his Nashville home is more than 19 times greater than the average American household's, Al Gore has committed conspicious energy consumption once again.

In Washington D.C. Thursday to deliver yet another speech warning Americans about global warming caused, Gore believes, by excessive use of fossil fuels, Gore handed yet more evidence to critics who believe he's a hypocrite.

He did so by traveling to his speech in what almost certainly was an unnecessary entourage of three luxury gas-guzzling vehicles -- two Lincoln Town Cars and a Surburban SUV -- one of which was kept idling outside for twenty minutes, apparently to keep the interior cool for the driver, Mrs. Gore and the Gores' adult daughter.
