Good for Al...at least he's trying to contribute something positive to this earth...and not just making excuses for our current lifestyle like most politicians and business leaders out there.

I was always against Arafat even getting a sniff at that prize.
Even if you move away from Oil, then people will fight over farm land to grow corn for Ethanol. Wind power will spark wars over windy areas, solar power will spark wars over higher areas near the equator.
Resource wars are always going to take place, so to me its a non issue as far pushing away from a reliance on Oil.
I guess whats soured me on Gore is that his life style certainly dosen't match his environmental policy position.
And going out and making speeches and making a movie that charges 13 dollars a showing are not Peace Prize worthy. He's hardly made the world come together as one and scream for Kyoto. He's accomplished very little imho.
