The Inconvenient Sequel to Al Gore’s ‘Inconvenient Truth’ Debunked

Monday on radio, Glenn talked with Cato Institute expert Alex Epstein, author of The Moral Case for Fossil Fuels, about Al Gore’s latest movie An Inconvenient Sequel: Truth to Power.

“This is probably going to surprise you, but his central claim is that he was even more right than he thought,” Epstein said.

In the film, Gore points to the success of the 100 percent renewable city of Georgetown, Texas — but 100 percent isn’t entirely accurate.

“Imagine that Tim Cook, the CEO of Apple, wants to cross the ocean without using fossil fuels. He doesn’t want to just have a sailboat, right? Well, what does he need? He needs fuel, diesel or some form of oil fuel. So how is he going to be 100 percent solar and wind?” Epstein asked, hypothetically.

Al Gore to the rescue.

“In addition to the engine that’s really doing the work, let’s put a sail on top of the yacht so that, you know, it gets a little bit of power from the wind. And then [Gore] said, well, Tim Cook, we’ll pay the other passenger so they say they got the energy from the engine and you got the energy from the sail,” Epstein explained.

Glenn and his co-hosts reacted strongly to the explanation.

“That is awesome,” Stu said.

“Oh, my gosh,” Glenn said.

“That is awesome,” Pat said.

“Oh, my gosh,” Glenn said.

“You have to admire it at some level. At some devious level, you have to admire it,” Stu said.

“Oh, my gosh,” Pat said.
