An even greater challenge than making it to the moon in ten years ... (Thank you, Al Gore!)
Al Gore is 100% right! We have to break the umbilical cord to fossil fuels (especially oil!) within ten years. On Thursday, Gore called on Americans to completely abandon electricity generated by fossil fuels within 10 years, and replace them with carbon-free renewables like solar, wind and geothermal.
Although this might sound like folly to some, the alternatives (if we don't do something QUICK) would be the ugly face of folly. Let's listen to the man ... NOW!
Global warming is real. The polar ice caps are melting as you read this. Maybe we've already run out of time, and we just don't know it.
It ain't just the polar bears, friends!

I remember Jimmy Carter saying the same exact thing about what...30 years ago? Too bad Reagan was elected or the USA might just be OPEC-independent right now...or at least closer to it.
No, I don't entirely blame where we are on Ronald Reagan. He wasn't environmentally friendly, but whan compared to GWB he was ... well, almost an Al Gore! Now if Gore had been elected in 2000 (if his actual election had been legitimized), we would be close to being at least free of Middle eastern oil domination ... I think.
