OK Algore is an idiot so I suppose there isn’t a problem
understanding how Americans that are idiots would believe him.
The problem comes in when the rest of us let this crap go on.
Crap on Trade during a depression? Sheer lunacy!
We should go all the way in the other direction!
Lift all the bans on pollution! Seriously.
Gimme cheap energy! Burn baby Burn!
Several million degrees What a putz.

, I think al has been having nightmares about going to hell, and got it mixed up with the climate.
What did he say that was correct, much less smart, in this Tonight Show piece?

I like the idea that we now have metals that can drill right though magma.
It must be said that if we steal the energy from the center of the earth, won't that have some affect on our living planet? Maybe even kill it?

with liquid hot magma
His comments are so fantastically idiotic that they defy description.
Therefore anyone who believes the crap he spews is beneath contempt.
I can not even begin to fathom the depths of this man’s stupidity.
It’s a veritable black hole of stupid.
And to think they ran that stupid rat bastard for President?!?
I mean C’Mon that fact that it was even close shows
that half of the people in this country are too stupid to live!
Kill em and put their kids in them FEMA camps
Release the Sharks!

Re: with liquid hot magma
Yep and we ended up with a guy far far stupider than Gore could ever hope to be. Yep, half the country is stupid. THey got a little smarter last time around.

The man is a fuckin' idiot. He obviously knows absolutely nothing about geothermal energy nor of the problems that are entailed by its use.
Geothermal fluids contain dissolved gases, mainly carbon dioxide (CO2) and hydrogen sulfide (H2S), small amounts of ammonia, hydrogen, nitrogen, methane and radon, and minor quantities of volatile species of boron, arsenic, and mercury.
He really thinks that we can cool this?

- Geothermal energy is not "relatively new" as it has been explored since early in the last century. The first geothermal electric power plant was built in the 1920s.
- The Earth's core is ~7,000 degrees, not "several million degrees" which would rival the temperature of the interior of the Sun.
- I particularly loved the part about how we have a "35,000 year supply of energy from geothermal" as though the Earth's mantle and core will cool if we inject water into the crust to make steam. The heat generated -- yes, generated -- in the Earth's interior is caused by the great pressure exerted on it by the mass of the Earth. That pressure will never stop.
- "Two kilometers, or so, down ..." is about 1.2 miles and would not be "deeper than we've drilled before". The Kola Superdeep Borehole reached 40,230 ft. The temperature at that depth was 180 °C (356 °F) hardly enough to harm a drill bit which would "melt in that heat". Hell, my oven in my stove can operate at 500 °F without melting.

Me too. It won't take long to heat your home when, only a couple of KM down, it's a bazillion degrees. Hurry though, it'll only last 35,000 years.
Although, considering that, from just a few feet down, the temperature is a constant 55°, how does that heat those in LA? Phoenix? Bakersfield? San Diego?
Hell, 55° barely heats my house in Ft Wayne where -20° is not unheard of.
