Former Vice President and climate crusader Al Gore criticized President Donald Trump for touting booming oil and natural gas production during his State of the Union address Tuesday night.
“The President doesn’t get it,” Gore tweeted, hammering Trump for not mentioning the “outdated oil and natural gas projects” instead of the “Global Sustainability Revolution.”
Trump only briefly mentioned American energy, saying the U.S. is “the number one producer of oil and natural gas in the world” and that “for the first time in 65 years, we are a net exporter of energy.”
The U.S. is expected to become “energy independent” in 2020, according to Energy Department forecasts.
Republicans gave the remarks a standing ovation, while most Democrats sat in silence. However, Democratic West Virginia Sen. Joe Manchin stood up, applauded and gave Trump a wink of approval at the mention of American energy.
Gore was among the Democrats unimpressed with Trump’s oil and gas remarks, calling those forms of energy “outdated” compared to solar and wind power, which he sees as the future.
However, hours before Trump’s speech, Energy Secretary Rick Perry presided over the signing of a $10 billion agreement to build a liquefied natural gas export terminal in Texas.

Blackout Fallout: Wind Power Debacle Leaves Thousands of Powerless Victorians Furious
Everyone ‘loves’ the idea of wind and solar power, until they’re sweltering in the dark. 200,000 Victorian homes and businesses left powerless – after a sudden and dramatic wind power output collapse on 25 January – have got a taste of what wind ‘powered’ South Australians have been putting up with for years. And they don’t like it.

Being hammered by Gore would be like being flogged with a damp lettuce leaf.
I know several people who live off the grid and so use Gasoline Powered Generators but if the Eco-Freaks had their way all of us would be having to depend upon unreliable Bird and Bat Maiming Wind Turbines and Bird Frying acres of eyesore solar panels
Global Sustainability Revolution? Really, it’s nothing more than a template for moving humans into serfdom. Gore and morons that follow him think they will be in the ruling class by ending use of oil and gas. Not so fast, we will not bend to his idiocy!
You’re screwed, Gore.
Who decides to live off the grid?
It’s either expensive or it’s a severe sacrifice of lifestyle. Why try it?
Why attempt that on a national scale? You haven’t proven the need. If it’s your dream, YOU pay for it. The Green new deal would kill the goose that lays the golden eggs. STUPID!
Gore’s the one who doesn’t get it. His “sustainable” crap won’t heat his homes, won’t fuel his private jet or his vehicles.
Al Gore the King of the Conmen the chief of the Snake Oil the #1 hypotcrit and Oxidental Petroleum still has yet to give up his likestyle of the Spoiled and Privlaged still living at this fancy Tennesee Estate and still probibly likes to read his idiotic poem to all his guests and visitors
