Can We Do It? Yes We Can!
A. Siegel, Daily Kos (Jul 17, 2008)
“President
Kennedy didn't say 'get Americans near the moon'. President Roosevelt
didn't speak of nearly unconditional challenges. Leaders set goals, set
targets for us, all of the US, to work for, to strive for. Yet again,
Al Gore is showing himself to be a leader and setting an objective
worth fighting to achieve.”

Gore: US Should Abandon Fossil Fuels By 2018
Chris In Paris, AMERICAblog (Jul 17, 2008)
"Doesn't Al Gore know it's much better for the US to rely on Big Oil and their vision for the world? If we had to rely on renewable energies we might have to build an industry and then we'd have to hire new people and accept new investment money. Gosh, then the world would want to buy our technology because we might become leaders in this field. Man, he just doesn't get it, does he?"
