"I believe in recycling, but that's ridiculous," said Gore. He said the oil industry has a "50-year lease on the Republican party, and they're drilling it for all it's worth."http://www.newser.com/story/36099/gore-we-must-seize-this-opportunity.html?refid=rss_all_defaultThu, 28 Aug 2008 17:24:08 CDThttp://www.newser.com/story/33812/gore-a-likely-convention-star.html?refid=rss_all_defaultThe Democrats haven't finalized the lineup for their upcoming convention in Denver, but one man seems certain to land a central role in the proceedings: Al Gore. Once mocked for his wooden style, Gore now enjoys even higher approval ratings than Barack Obama, Reuters reports. Tickets for a recent Gore lecture were snapped up in less than 24 hours.http://www.newser.com/story/33812/gore-a-likely-convention-star.html?refid=rss_all_defaultThu, 31 Jul 2008 4:57:25 CDThttp://www.newser.com/story/32911/gore-pounds-pols-on-energy-plan.html?refid=rss_all_defaultAl Gore made his first appearance on Meet the Press since he sought the presidency 8 years ago, Politico reports, this time pushing his agenda as the nation's self-appointed energy czar. "My own best role is to try to bring about a sea change in public opinion" on environmental issues, he said, following a Thursday speech in which he called for a switch to 100% renewable energy sources by 2018. "Incremental baby steps are no longer responsible proposals."http://www.newser.com/story/32911/gore-pounds-pols-on-energy-plan.html?refid=rss_all_defaultSun, 20 Jul 2008 14:43:12 CDThttp://www.newser.com/story/32868/gore-wows-bloggers-at-austin-show.html?refid=rss_all_defaultAl Gore surprised a crowd of liberal bloggers today by showing up at the Netroots Nation conference in Austin, Texas. He wowed the 3,000 progressives by emerging after Nancy Pelosi and giving a speech on the importance of grassroots organization for green issues. When asked about sharing a spot on the Obama ticket, he once again demurred, the Austin-American Statesman reports.http://www.newser.com/story/32868/gore-wows-bloggers-at-austin-show.html?refid=rss_all_defaultSat, 19 Jul 2008 17:55:40 CDThttp://www.newser.com/story/32690/gore-challenge-100-clean-electricity-by-2018.html?refid=rss_all_defaultAl Gore is challenging the US to produce all its electricity through wind, sun, and other clean sources by 2018. Speaking to the AP ahead of a major address today, the Nobel laureate compared the goal to JFK’s 1961 pledge to make it to the moon—and said that both Barack Obama and John McCain are “way ahead” of most politicians on the climate change issue.http://www.newser.com/story/32690/gore-challenge-100-clean-electricity-by-2018.html?refid=rss_all_defaultThu, 17 Jul 2008 9:59:23 CDThttp://www.newser.com/story/30161/gore-we-need-change.html?refid=rss_all_defaultAl Gore endorsed Barack Obama for president at a Detroit rally last night, saying the 2008 election “matters more than ever before,” the Detroit Free Press reports. “After 8 years of lost jobs, we need change,” the former Democratic nominee said. “After 8 years of the worst, most serious foreign policy mistakes, we need change.”http://www.newser.com/story/30161/gore-we-need-change.html?refid=rss_all_defaultTue, 17 Jun 2008 3:37:03 CDThttp://www.newser.com/story/29819/carville-touts-a-convenient-vp.html?refid=rss_all_defaultDemocratic strategist James Carville thinks Barack Obama should consider someone with a little experience for the vice presidency: like, say, former VP Al Gore. Carville told CNN that choosing the Nobel Peace Prize-winner would drive home the message that America is serious about a new energy policy. A third term would make Gore the longest-serving veep in history, but he's said he'll only run for top spot.http://www.newser.com/story/29819/carville-touts-a-convenient-vp.html?refid=rss_all_defaultThu, 12 Jun 2008 0:00:23 CDThttp://www.newser.com/story/28791/global-warming-the-opera.html?refid=rss_all_defaultIt started out as a slide show, became an Oscar-winning documentary and best-selling book, and now Al Gore's An Inconvenient Truth is about to become a full-length opera, reports the AP. Milan's La Scala opera house has commissioned Italian composer  Giorgio Battistelli to set Gore's stark warning on global warming to music, for the 2011 season.http://www.newser.com/story/28791/global-warming-the-opera.html?refid=rss_all_defaultFri, 30 May 2008 2:55:13 CDThttp://www.newser.com/story/26708/gore-pipes-up-doesnt-endorse.html?refid=rss_all_defaultAl Gore dropped his silence on the Democratic race today, saying he may yet endorse a candidate and predicting that the race would end soon after primaries ended on June 3. “There will be a nominee before the convention,” he asserted. Gore laughed off a scenario that had him emerging as a compromise candidate in a split decision between Clinton and Obama, the Boston Globe reports.http://www.newser.com/story/26708/gore-pipes-up-doesnt-endorse.html?refid=rss_all_defaultTue, 06 May 2008 16:10:58 CDT
