There is absolutely nothing wrong or incorrect about what Al Gore says in that interview.
There are in fact pilot plants doing just what he is talking about.
There is a temperature gradient from the surface of the earth to the core and it is of sufficiently large magnitude near the surface to be exploitable for electricity generation.
These idiotic threads are the last refuge of the shockingly scientifically illiterate.

No one can really explore the earths interior. Scientist obtain information about the characteristics of the earth's interior by studying earthquake records. Earthquake waves help scientists figure out the distances to each of the section of the earth's interior. The Earth can be divided into three large sections: the mantle, inner core, and outer core. The inner core is at the center of the earth. The pressure and temperature of the earth increases as one moves closer to the center. First comes the mantle, this is a layer that is bellow the crust of the earth. This is said to go down 2,900 kilometers; it's temperature is about 870 degrees Celsius. The outer core has a very high temperature and ranges from about 4,400 degrees Celsius to about 6,100 degrees Celsius. The outer core beginnings where the mantle stops and it extends further down to the center 2,250 kilometers. The inner core is about 6,400 kilometers below the earths surface. the temperature at the inner core of the earth is at the high is about 7,000 degrees Celsius. But compared with the sun the earth's temperature at the center of the earth is only about the outer reign of the sun
Looks like the highest estimate for earth's core temp is just over 13,000 deg F.Quote from dcraig:

Gore got into Harvard because of his dick sucking father. He said Millions because he meant it. Another dumbass democrat.
Bush got an MBA, Gore got a shitty little degree in government.
Quote from TGregg:
LMAO! Look at all the genius libtards coming out of the woodwork to defend their idol on a flat out ludicrous statement. The temp at the surface of the Sun isn't even millions of degrees.
Guess Algore could say that temps on the surface of the Earth has risen trillions of degrees and these bozos would agree.
This bunch of retards should well demonstrate just how damn stupid liberalism really is.
