Al Gore would probably do what's pragmatic. Big Oil still has a lobby-there are literally tens of millions of Americans employed in the oil industry. Don't forget-Al used to take campaign contributions from Philip Morris. I watch the deed, not the word. P.S. Clinton's not going anywhere(whether I like it or not). I'm neither a Republican nor Democrat- most politicians are even worse than what the public thinks.

mph: Difficult for me to imagine any politician who has risen to the office of VP taking on fossil fuels from XON on down, GM, Ford, Chrysler, Caterpillar, most utilities, Boeing and the myriad other companies and interests completely dependent on crude oil. We'll run out eventually, and have to start doing something else, but to seriously try to step on this big a game would be political suicide. Environmental improvements, sure, they're a good idea anyway, if you take a clear and open minded look at what we've done to the world in a scant 200 years.

(They just got a Labrador, can't be all bad.) Lee
