Trump's clean energy transition faces a religious-like crusade, according to Al Gore's warning
In the wake of the recent assassination of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk, former Vice President Al Gore has made a controversial accusation against President Donald Trump. Gore claimed that Trump is leading a 'jihad' against the renewable energy transition.
Gore's assertion was made in an interview with Axios, and it comes as a stark contrast to his previous rhetoric against the Trump administration. In April, Gore compared the administration to Nazi Germany, a comparison that caused a stir in political circles.
However, it is important to note that there is no evidence that Gore led or discussed any such accusation against Trump in any event or year.
Gore's latest statement was part of a broader discussion about climate change and the role of inaction in the face of a global emergency. Gore believes that extreme events are beginning to change minds and that the inaction of climate deniers is not typical of what humans are capable of.
The comparison to Nazi Germany was part of a 'moral autopsy' of Hitler's Third Reich, as cited by Gore. He also mentioned that Trump's opposition to clean energy is stronger compared to his first presidential term.
House Speaker Mike Johnson called for 'turning the temperature down' in politics following Kirk's death. The death of Kirk has reignited conversations over the role political rhetoric plays in violence.
Our website Digital reached out to Gore and the White House for comment, but did not receive a response at the time of publication.
