McCain, shut up with the Dr. No stuff. It didnt stick, time to move on old man….everytime you say it and grin like an idiot, you can hear crickets in the background.

McCain——Let me just say again, Sen. Obama, no storage and no reprocess. And that's nuclear power. No drilling offshore. That's a way of finding oil and gas reserves. Dr. No," McCain said

Obama's environmental proposals mimic many of Gore's own: he would implement an economy-wide cap-and trade program to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and plans to make the United States a leader in the global effort to combat climate change.
McCain–Dr HUH

Reality check… Al Gore has invested alot of money into making his home environmentally neutral. He does not pay what you think for energy costs. Al Gore proved that he had sincere desire to do good for the world by becoming one of the most effective environmental leaders. I could only imagine how great of a job he would have done, had he been elected…

Thank you Al Gore for stepping up to the plate. When I hear politicians continuing to sing a song of oil when it isn't renewable and it isn't going to be around forever, oh and guess what - supply outstripping demand will mean the price of gas won't go down, I just want to scream.

It isn't hard people. Conserve. Don't drive as much. Don't consume as much. Demand alternative sources of energy. They are out there and other countries are finding and using them while we are still crying about the cost of a gallon of gas - and then filling up our SUV's.

Al Gore is awesome and this country would not be in this situation if the election was not stolen from him!

Walt….obviously a Republican surrogate, repeating the same old lie. Al Gore never did say he was the father of the Internet. And I would rather that he had a mansion and travelled the world trying to change the world for the better instead of living in a mansion doing nothing to change our dependency on oil and coal.

Why would anyone praise this L-O-S-E-R??? He's a complete idiot. Remember though, he claims he invented the internet!

Yes I like the Ozone Man. I like him to stay in TN.

He and Obama make a fine pair. He would be the Alpha Man while Michelle would be the Alpha Woman. You know where that leaves obama? Yeah he is still the girlie man.

Watch how he makes his Iraq declarations without consulting the generals on the ground. AAAAh I think he thinks he is a know it all. He certainly gives speeches fairly well but no substance.

Jeez, will the empty sarcasm of uninformed bloggers never stop? I'm tired of seeing vicious comments posted about everyone, from McCain to Obama. Yes, I have strong views too, but I believe messages should be about the facts and real issues. It's sad to see excellent public figures vilified by folks who know nothing about their actual history in the public sphere. Obama, McCain, Ted Kennedy, Condi, Biden, Gore, etc. Not to mention Hillary! All treated like criminals, with some old incident lingering in the public mind as the defining characteristic of the person.

There's no doubt that Al Gore has contributed more than any other public figure to "saving the planet." It's not about inventing the internet, as foes like to claim. It's about inventing our new consciousness if we are to survive. Putting people like him back in government service is the way forward. Denial of climate change must end.

Al Gore and Hillary Clinton are the greatest people on earth, that were not elected to be president.

Flippy Flop, Flippy Flop.
Knock! Knock!
Who's there?
John McCain.

That's wonderful McCain favors nuclear power. Does that mean we can centralize nuclear power for the United States in Arizona and dispose of the nuclear waste in perpetuity in Arizona? Then we won't have to be concerned about transporting the dangerous by products on the nation's infrastructure (which McCain has voted against repairing). Accidents can be centralized in Arizona so residents of that state are the only ones who have to worry about being their own night light.

Oh.. as if post traumatic depression for the veterans, mental recession for the gas thieves is not enough for the people already .. we have climate change depression in the horizon. Seriously.

I certainly hope Al Gore will be Pres. Obama's "energy czar."

This Nation is in deep trouble when the two presumptive presidential candidates endorse a man with deep psychological problems . I'm not worried about his carbon foot print but i am worried about his mental impact.

I think we can all agree that Vice President Gore has been at the forefront of raising awareness of this issue. But doesn't it strike anybody as a little interesting that his proposal is so far outside the mainstream of what other policy makers have been saying (total elimination of our reliance on fossil fuels within 10 years)? Also, isn't he totally invested in renewable technologies with his hedge funds? So, is this what he thinks is necessary/good for the country or for his own financial future?

The media is doing the dirty job for Mccain. what's up CNN keep swiftboating Obama with mccain?

Oh wow, I actually agree with McCain on the issue of nuclear energy. I'm not sure I'll be able to sleep tonight. Offshore drilling is a bad idea though, but replacing our coal power plants with nuclear is probably necessary to fight global warming, unless we have a major breakthrough with fusion. The only real issue is what to do with the waste, but I think it's better to poison only a localized area than the entire atmosphere.

I have to say BEING A HARD CORE REPUBLICAN and will be voting for MCCAINE, I am sorry but I do agree with PELOSI . Bush is a total failure ,forget about being a fool but he has destroyed this economy. And before he gets out of office he is taking us all to the cleaners by fooling us and raising the price of gas. Hey why not? he has 6 months to rake it all in .

Mccain have flip flopped on so many issues than we can imagine.

Health care, house foreclosure asking people to go get a second job, now he share the pain of the people, flip flop on Bush tac cut, fli flop on evrything . If you not sure which issues Mccain haven't flip flop on visit youtube/mccain flip flops.

I just sick to my tommy when i hear Mccflip floper accusing Obama.

Mccflip flopper stop the negative attacks it doesn't look good on you.

If you REALLY cared, Al, you'd get back in the game and be Obama's VP so he could hands down win this. But just like in 2000 when you let Bush steel the recount, just like through your whole administration where yall never signed the Kyoto treaty, just like how you STILL couldn't buck the Clinton Monster till weeks after Barrack was the nominee to show your support… you appear the spineless whiner who says old news but gets the praise, for what? If Americans don't already know of these issues and are learning them from Al Gore, they must be on that "Czechoslavkian Viagra" already and won't get it anyway.

I was fortunate enough to attend this speech today. Mr. Gore is bold and on point with the challenge he has posed for us. Please do not comment on the small snippets of the speech you may hear. If taken out of context, his plan may seem unfounded and too overwhelming to ever take shape. If you read the entire transcript, available online, you will see that he has all his numbers right, he has a way to do it, and frankly it has to happen. Why not start now? Though we should have started 20 years ago. Oh and don't worry Walt. It will be ok. Though I am sure the solar panels on his roof and energy-saver appliances are no match for yours.

Are you a three-year-old? TRY TO FOCUS — I know it's hard, but it's the adult thing to do! And learning how to spell wouldn't hurt, either.

If McCain or any other politician wants to build a nuclear power plant than please make sure that they have it built right next door to where they, their children and their grandchildren live.
Until someone has the guts to stand up to the big oil company's and push for alternative fuel sources than America will be held hostage to greed from company's that can claim a $40 billon profit and than have the nerve to say that this is not excessive.

The way Mccain blocked Algore today at noon by timing after gore speech to hold his campaign event in MO. What a shame that the media is being manipulated by the republicans!

Aaaah, Al Gore, the inventor of the internet, the father of doom on the end of the earth living in his mansion burning up over $2,500 a month in utilities. Good think he's got all that Oslo money to pay the bills……

Al Gore is one very intelligent, thoughtful man who has devoted his life to making the world a better place for us all.

"Both parties' presumptive nominees praised former Vice President Al Gore as he challenged the nation Thursday to transition completely to renewable and carbon-free energy within the next decade — but parted ways on some of Gore's recommendations."

""Let me just say again, Sen. Obama, no storage and no reprocess. And that's nuclear power. No drilling offshore. That's a way of finding oil and gas reserves. Dr. No," McCain said."

McCain, drilling offshore is not "renewable and carbon-free energy". Can you even know what you say?

Dr. No ? That 70's thing again. Hey McLame, is Dr. No from Czechoslavakia?

Way to go Dems, the perfect ticket: 'The Black Messiah and the Great White Saviour' to the rescue. WOW, now that is the perfect bumper sticker.

mcsame stop focusing on obama. you must have nightmares about obama. get a life

Al Gore would have more credibility on this Global warming thing if he wasn’t making so much money on it!

Dr. No Obama will have us paying $10 a gallon in a couple of years and we still will not have started drilling. We need to do everything we can to get off foreign oil NOW. Obama flip flops so much we don't know what he believes. If I have to hear him read his rhetoric too many more times I am going to puke. He is so arrogant he thinks he is a movie star.

Does John McCain have a view on ANYTHING that doesn't change daily?

Outside of telling a good rape joke, that is!

Just shut up McShame
What a complete IDIOT
BARACK THE VOTE !!!

McStupid agrees with all for at least one day. Next week he will be totally against VP Gore's position. John McStupid a man with 1000 positions on every issue depending on who he THINKS is listening.

This proves that both Obama and McCain are idiots. Who's the Libertarian candidate for President?

Lets' not say anything bad about anyone that is popular. These candidates are the best we could come up with. Sigh…

McCain is interested in any energy source that keeps a refinement aspect in it. Nuclear will require a middle man to refine and distribute the power. The oil folks can just leap over to that, and not loose a dollar.

True renewable energy is consumer direct energy, and that is the change Gore is talking about.

Both parties' presumptive nominees praised former Vice President Al Gore as he challenged the nation Thursday to transition completely to renewable and carbon-free energy within the next decade — but parted ways on some of Gore's recommendations.

Of course Old HOG JAW McCain had to go NEGATIVE on Mr Obama and Mr Gore, DR HUH !!

If it produces waste that is toxic and radioactive for thousands of years then it isn't "clean energy." When it comes to nucleare power I'd be happy to be called, Dr. No.

NObama is certainly Dr. No! Change we can beLIEVE in, right? Wrong. Obama offers the same tired rhetoric devoid of substance.

McCain is a Fool!!! What success? What planet are you on McCain… Bizzaro World?! America let us not allow the idiots that have been pulling the wool over our eyes (for the last 8 years) continue to do so..
McCain=Bush!!!

Gore is on a Mission Of Good. What person in their right mind is going to go on record opposing him?

Obama, twist his arm a little more - He'd might just make a good VP choice.

If the oil companies truly wanted to drill here they would explore the 68 million acres already alloted.

The whole Idea of drill now drill here is narrow minded. Alternative energy is needed and the implementation of the infrastructure will create jobs.

Memo to CNN:

"But John McCain reminded reporters he and Gore hold very divergent views on the use of at least one renewable energy source."

In what way is nuclear power renewable?

I voted for Al Gore for President and worked on Clinton/Gore campaigns in 1992 and 1996, I know he would have made a great President and we would have been ahead of fighting Global warming.

I am very proud of him now and think he is done more now in making us more aware of this problem we all need to take care of, by McCain and Obama praising him is a big step in getting all sides to accept and come up with a solution and save our Planet.

God Bless you Mr. Gore.

Anyone who is against nuclear power should be shunned. It is *the safest* form of large scale power production currently available, and should be utilized extensively. Nuclear waste can be reprocessed relatively easily for further use as fuel, the remaining byproducts of which are also easily stored no matter what all the naysayers tell you.

I'm glad to see the McCain displays a little more decorum and professionalism than most Republican politicians and hacks these days, but he still won't get my vote. Maybe if he was still the maverick that he once was, I would listen to him more, but he sold out to the lunatics on the far right.

Obama offers the best hope right now out of all the candidates.

And no, JERKS, we don't look at Obama as the "Messiah", but just an intelligent person who offers some credible possibilities for improvement.

This is one issue that requires a bipartisan effort, and I think McCain needs to put forth more effort into expanding and explaining his own energy plan. It is obvious that the status quo cannot continue. I agree with Obama's plans to produce distinct changes in carbon emissions by 2050 and energy consumption cuts by 2030, although they have to be implemented carefully.

I consider myself an environmentalist and people who are against nuclear power are uneducated and naive about it. If you care about global warming then you should be protesting for MORE nuclear power. McCain is a realist and can solve the energy issue, Obama is just empty rhetoric if he is against nuclear energy.

I always find it hilarious when McCain tries to take a dig at Obama…we shoud call him "Dr. I Don't Know Enough About That"…

My God, is there no bigger hypocrite and plangent oaf than Al Gore? McCain, I love you, but you keep getting it wrong. Gore is the enemy–the vile enemy.

ANOTHER MORON TALKING CRAP. DFLATEMACS. OBAMA IS A BIG JOKE.

"Let me just say again, Sen. Obama, no storage and no reprocess. And that's nuclear power. No drilling offshore. That's a way of finding oil and gas reserves. Dr. No," McCain said.

This quote is baffling. The most frightening thing to me about the possibility of a President McCain is not that he'll undoubtedly continue Bush's failed policies, but the fact that we'll have a senile old man with his finger on the button. Let's face it, he's real old, and he's losing it.

Al Gore is a hypocrite.

THAT'S RIGHT, JOHN MCCAIN WAS REJECTED BY HIS PARTY NOT ONCE BUT TWICE AND HE WILL BE REJECTED AGAIN COME NOVEMBER.

McCain was Dr. No himself on oil drilling until just recently, after he saw the polls. Did he forget the gas crisis of the 70s. Why didn't he push for energy efficiency during his long and illustrious career in Washington. Maybe if he had we wouldn't be in this mess now, we would already be ahead of the game on energy. Where's the judgment McCain? It's too late to say you are an energy czar. You've been doing nothing about it for too long.

McCain…..There may be some aspects of climate change that he and I are in disagreement on but overall — I mean, I've always been a supporter of nuclear power and he has not agreed with that."
MR McCAIN ……You are all over the place practically every where you go on the campaign trail your town hall etc you have to mention Senator Obama this or that …..maybe that is why you forget dates and other things Stick the issues and solutions ….OLD HOG JAW!!!

"But John McCain reminded reporters he and Gore hold very divergent views on the use of at least one renewable energy source."

Nuclear power is not a renewable energy source. Sure, you can reprocess some spent fuel, and sure it is the best most clean source of electricity with comparable capacity. But it is not renewable. Things have to die and decay and be put under heat and pressure to become fossil fuel, but stars have to blow up to make new uranium.

I thought McSame was a major proponent of wind power.
That's what he's full of - hot air.

What a much better country…and world this would have been if this guy had been elected president!!!

isn’t this the exact backdrop and outfit Obama had when he gave his foreign policy speech. The absolute best combo would be Obama and Gore, no one talks about it because it seems like such a fantasy, but this Campaign Obama runs, is Tumulsdic with their imagery, there is something brewing.

"Let me just say again, Sen. Obama, no storage and no reprocess. And that's nuclear power. No drilling offshore. That's a way of finding oil and gas reserves. Dr. No," McCain said.

He just doesn't get it…. The oil companies are NOT guaranteed to find all this oil, even if they do it doesn't mean that they will drill it right away (see the millions of acres they aren't drilling right now) they will withhold the oil to keep the prices high (they are for profit companies), The environmental impact will offset ANY positives (You ruin Florida's beaches they are gone forever). When the oil is actually produced world demand has already diminished it's impact.

The USA needs to evolve and become more advanced than other nations. As of today, BRAZIL IS MORE ADVANCED THAN THE USA. 10 years from now are we going to let China and India and Europe have more advanced technology then we do?????? We cannot afford more years of Republicans stunting technological progress!

Funny how McCain thinks that re-processing of spent nuclear fuels is the answer… It only illustrates how willing he is to mortgage our future for short-term political gain. Get the facts, and find out that Nuclear can be done cleanly, and effectively, but re-processing SNF is just begging for a night mare of unanswerable questions on disposal of nuclear by-products.

This coming from a man who's still looking for Czechoslovakia on his map, and wondering why he cant find it… Or who thinks that a so-called 'gas-tax holiday' is going to do anything for the US economy (besides drive us deeper into energy-debt)… Or who thinks that drilling in the acrtic is going to lower the price of fuel for the average american (got news for ya grampy - Exxon isnt a charity).

Anyone who would let this guy within 100 miles of where America's Energy Policy is being written simply doesnt have the facts, or cant look more than 4 years ahead…

Quit drinking the Kool-Aid, and get the facts. Study the issues and vote your conscience.

Hot air praises hot air praises hot air……

We have a liberal wearing conservative clothes and a socialist wearing liberal clothes running for President.

Is this really the best we have????

What a silly political season…

I personally think Biden or Nunn or Bayh would all make great VP choices for Obama. However, I think Obama should, when he wins, appoint Gore as Environmental Czar. That would create a position worthy of the mess we are currently in, thanks to Bush/Cheney and their oil buddies.

mccain is pandering.he wants more oil,and is willing to keep a presence there to protect it for bush and cheney.

McCain, stop being a liar. Amazing what this guy will say.

So, John McCain, are you auditioning for John Kerry's running mate again? Oh, I forgot! That was the other John McCain of so many versions who jst four short years ago was so disgusted with and dejected by his party that he almost became a Democrat. You are shameless you chameleon, and you're not even good at changing your colors or shedding your skin.
