I haven't seen Gore's movie. He doesn't really advocate a car that runs on rainbows and smiles, does he? I don't think that's even possible. I believe rainbows are mostly water vapor and smiles generate almost zero kinetic energy -- not nearly enough to power even a single golf cart, let alone a city full of cars.
From what I've read, a big part of the message appears to be "use less, and use what you do use, use it more efficiently". It's a far cry from the slightly hysterical "leave the oil in the ground", "change everything" and "he wants us to sit in the dark while he lives in a mansion and flies around in a private jet" rhetoric that is being applied to him.
