Scientists still aren't sure where ManBearPig is hiding -- so the water may be Al Gore's next best guess.. Good point LQ.

Actually, I'm actually totally behind this, actually. I bet he bought the boat to aid his search for the true threat to the environment, manbearpig.

Question is, does biodisel leak or cause residue that might affect the water in which the boat sails? Ocean liners are notorious for polluting the ocean because of the exhaust and waste; I hope that biodisel boats are less harmful. And yes, I agree Mr. Gore should go vegan, but he's from a cattle ranching family, and I guess he has to blind himself to that issue. If it has solar panels and runs on biodiesel, not such a problem.

If the guy wants to buy a boat and has the cash then fair enough. At least he is sticking by his principles and getting an eco-friendly one! It's not like he is going against his principles. More people in the public eye should be doing what he does and setting an example we can all follow. Granted not all of us can buy boats but you know what I mean.... www.ethicalandgreen.com Totally agree that his boat sounds really eco-friendly.

Gore has done much re; spreading the word about global warming and as it sounds like his boat is eco-friendly, he is doing his part. Any naysayers should walk the talk, as he does. I agree with fbr.

I cannot remember if ER posted this last week but from Yahoo to CNN (and even Fox New!) last week the biggest news to come out (besides our failing economy - thanks Bush and more global warming hurricanes - thanks Bush again) was that the United Nations announced that giving up meat just one day a week could help with global warming. Yes big smart scientists announced this people.. http://news.yahoo.com/s/time/20080911/hl_time/meatmakingglobalwarmingworse read it and go vegan go vegetarian or at least have some eggplant parmesian once a week!!??! i think al has every right to get this eco friendly boat and think that steve gill is … well i don’t want to use such words on ER’s site ;)

If he has money to buy a huge boat and if it's powered by solar energy and biodiesel, I don't see the contradiction there! I mean, he has done much more for the environment alone, than all of those who criticise him together... Just because he is alerting for the REAL problem of climate change, it doesn't mean he should stop flying or living in his mansion! What, does everyone who criticises him live in an eco-friendly home and uses eco-friendly vehicles? Stop throwing dust into people's eyes in order to distract them from the real problems! There are too many people doing that already! Besides, Al Gore is not perfect, nor a saint nor a saviour... no one is, without exception!

He's been instrumental in building the current eco fad and has cashed in handsomely on it. Maybe his work will turn out to be beneficial to the world in the long run, maybe it won't, but he certainly deserves to get whatever kind of boat he wants.
