Al Gore: 'Time to say goodbye to coal, oil and gas worldwide'
Oil, gas and coal are source of 79% of U.S. energy consumption
By Maria Lencki | Fox News

Former Vice President Al Gore called on the world to "say goodbye to coal, oil and gas" to fight climate change in a video released Friday ahead of the upcoming UN COP 26 global warming conference.

Oil, gas and coal are the source of 79% of U.S. energy consumption, according to the latest data from the U.S. Energy Information Administration. Nuclear energy provides 9% of U.S. energy, while renewable energy accounts for 12%.

Gore called on public and private sector leaders to "get real" about immediately reducing greenhouse gas emissions and about moving away from fossil fuels to "clean" energy.

Fossil fuels.

I don't think the Al Gores and John Kerry's of the world really believe this nonsense

But the AOC's and Thunberg's do. And they have been dangerously brainwashed. Al Gore and Kerry just take up the cause so they can remain somewhat relative

New Englanders will be burning the Wooden Indian for heat as our electric rates steadily increase from coal, nuclear, and gas power plants coming offline, but nothing to take their place.

I use about 100kwh /day, meaning abut 3MWH per month .... 200MWH x 3= 600MWH. $1.13/Euro

My light bill would be about $660/month.

The reason they decided to shut down their nuke plants is extremely stupid. The original decision was made back in 2011 right after the Fukushima earthquake and tsunami and the ensuing nuclear disaster.

Turns out that Germany uses the exact same reactors that were at the Fukushima nuclear plant that failed because of the sheer force of the earthquake.

So despite there hasn't been an earthquake in Germany since...ever...German Hillary (Merkel) made the decision to shut down their IIRC 16 nuclear reactors.

The beautiful German countryside when I got to Germany in 2016 was littered in some places as far as the eye can see with Windmills and solar panel farms when I left in 2016.

The California mansion that Algore purchased a decade ago would be underwater right now if Algore's global warming predictions came true.  Why invest $9 million in a house that according to 'you' will be below sea level before the mortgage is even paid?
