By Warner Todd Huston I’m sure by now we are all aware of the Netroots Nation conference that happened in Austin, Texas last weekend. Well, did you know that without Al Gore it wouldn’t have happened? That’s right, since Al Gore invented the Internet… I know, I know, that is the old Al Gore joke where [...]

I applaud Al Gore for his insistent calls to reform America's energy policy. No matter how much people may disagree with his politics, he's been consistently warning America about the need for change and the consequences of inaction for the last twenty years.

Whenever I mention Gore to people they seem to...

When I talked to him recently about Al Gore's absurd plan to switch the US economy completely from fossil fuels to solar and wind power within ten years, a friend said that the only economic program that could compare to this, in terms of its economic destructiveness, is Mao's Great Leap Forward , which was supposed to suddenly transform China into an industrial power and instead caused economic collapse...

He may have lost the US presidency eight years ago, but today, he enjoys more global prestige as a Nobel laureate than his erstwhile rival. Last week, as the world marked the 39th anniversary of the man-on-the-moon landing, former US Vice-President Al Gore hurled a "generational challenge" that matched the significance of John F.

Recently I swam some laps at the Bondi Icebergs and, chilled to bone, sat in the sauna afterwards and struck up a conversation with a cute Swiss teacher who taught French. We were having a laugh, not bothering the...
