I have absolutely no plans and no expectations of ever being a candidate again.
Al Gore
Image
I do believe, as my father once said, that No matter how hard the loss, defeat might serve as well as victory to shake the soul and let the glory out.
Al Gore
Image
It took me a bit to realize how big the changes have been in the last decade. In so many places - electricity from solar and wind is cheaper than electricity from fossil fuels, and now the batteries are coming down in costs very quickly. So it's very exciting news that needed to be told.
Al Gore
Image
Pollution should never be the price of prosperity.
Al Gore
Image
Today I challenge our nation to commit to producing 100 percent of our electricity from renewable energy and truly clean carbon-free sources within 10 years.
Al Gore
Image
I don't have the illusion that there's any position or role in the world with as much potential for bringing about change as that of president of the United States.
Al Gore

Of all the works of civilization that interfere with the natural water distribution system, irrigation has been by far the most pervasive and powerful.

You have to rip your opponent's lungs out and then move on.

If the people that believed the moon landing was staged on a movie lot had access to unlimited money from large carbon polluters or some other special interest who wanted to confuse people into thinking that the moon landing didn't take place, I'm sure we'd have a robust debate about it right now.
Al Gore

Local and state governments have outrun the federal government. The EPA has served notice that it will enact a rule requiring CO2 reductions by major emitters in the absence of major legislation. But it's a blunt instrument that is a little more difficult to use than a legislative remedy.
Al Gore
Image
The existence of the EPA regulation will require large carbon polluters to look at their hole cards, and some of them have decided that they much prefer legislation.
Al Gore
Image
The debate's over. The people who dispute the international consensus on global warming are in the same category now with the people who think the moon landing was staged on a movie lot in Arizona.
Al Gore
Image
This is by far the most serious crisis civilisation has ever faced.
Al Gore
Image
How could this Y2K be a problem in a country where we have Intel and Microsoft?
Al Gore
Image
The answer is to end our reliance on carbon-based fuels... If we succeed, we create booming new industries, wealth, clean secure energy and maybe we prevent the greatest disaster so far in human history, saving millions of lives while improving billions more. If we fail, basically it's business as usual while things slowly get worse all around us.
Al Gore
Image
If you want your energy bills to go up, you should support an ever greater dependence on foreign oil, because the rate of new discoveries is declining as demand in China and India is growing, and the price of oil and thus the price of coal will go sky high.
Al Gore
Image
We need to put a price on carbon. This needs to be a priority for all of us in how we vote.
Al Gore
Image
I feel passionate about solving the climate crisis.
Al Gore
Image
Where solar energy is concerned - and wind energy and battery storage and electric vehicles and efficiency technologies - that is what we are now seeing. So, yes, I'm very optimistic, but anyone who works on the climate crisis has an internal struggle between hope and despair. I won't deny that, but hope has always prevailed in my outlook.

The American people overwhelmingly want our troops out of Iraq. They want the federal government to take real and immediate action to combat global warming and to significantly expand support for stem cell research. Democrats almost unanimously support the people's wishes onthese crucial issues. Republicans don't.
