I think Al Gore is a political realist who knows that he can't advocate a $25 per gallon gas tax and maintain any hope of ever getting elected to anything. So in general these seem to be steps in the right direction.

Although I'm a bit confused about item 6, the freezing of CO2 emissions. The only way to do that would be to stop driving--and breathing; neither is practical. Perhaps the correct meaning is to stop the rate of increase of CO2 emissions?

Also I'm not sure about your comment on item 4. Are you talking about the handling of the waste from coal plants? Perhaps you have not been to our great American West: We can store a LOT of ash.

Oh, never mind on number 4. I was misreading it. Why screw around with the political hassles of nukes when you can just put in hundreds of coal plants?

That is how I'd interpreted it, hence my comment about cap and trade.
