Feb. 27, 2007, 10 a.m.Typical of all elites!
Maybe Gore needs to be given lessons by Ed Bagley Jr. At least he tries to practice what he preaches
Although I don't always agree with what people say. I have respect for them if they actually try to live by the advice they give others

Al Gore is the type who tells the masses to conserve etc but thinks his advice applies to everyone else and not him!

Feb. 27, 2007, 6:11 p.m.Hey Dave, where is Neophile when you need him huh? He is usually the first one here when the topic is Global Warming. Looks like it would be too "Inconvenient" for him to come here and defend this...lol.
This is so typical of the left though. Do as I say from my ivory tower, but not as I do.
I guess while we are being told to change all our light bulbs to "green" lights, he must be using that 200,000kw per year (yes, 20x the average American household! 20x!!!) to create his newest version on the internet (Gore 2.0) on the Whoper from War Games..lol.
Do you want to play a game???? :)

Here is where Gore purchases all of his electricity according to the Nashville Electric Service:
http://www.nespower.com/green_power_switch.aspx
"What is green power? Green power is electricity generated from clean, renewable resources such as solar, wind and methane gas.
How much does it cost? You can buy green power in 150-kilowatt-hour blocks (about 12 percent of a typical household's monthly energy use). Each block will add $4 to your monthly power bill. Green power cost more because the technology used to capture these renewable resources is more expensive than traditional power generation methods."
It is not carbon offsets purchased in Bangladesh. He purchases Green electricity. This is just another strawman by a rightwing blogger who choose to tailor the facts to meet an agenda.

David, maybe if you quit goose stepping to faux news, maybe your statements might mean something again, when you choose to ignore the facts it puts your intelligence into question.

Feb. 27, 2007, 4:22 p.m.i dont think this matters. what he's doing world wide more than eclipses the status of his electricity uses...besides he EARNED that house...because he's passionate about a topic he's going to throw away his home? makes no sense to me.

Feb. 27, 2007, 4:41 p.m.You know, if you conservatives nazis actually cared about the wasteful energy use I (a liberal. I'll permit you to call me Mr. Liberal if you must sully my day with your textual feces) might be more on your side here. However it is clear that what is the issue is not Gore's purported wasteful use of energy, it is his "hypocricy" (and since the facts presented by you conservatives are never based on anything other than wishful thinking, I doubt the truth of the story to begin with).
As with so many of your right wing claims, the real issues are unimportant to you. All you really care about is how much mud you can make stick and who cares if it is the truth or lies.
Ugh. You conservatives are some of the most traitorous, un-American, truly evil, fascist bastards to ever foul my great country.

Feb. 27, 2007, 5:46 p.m.The man that discovered the internet needs a lot of heating and cooling I suppose? Thirty thousand dollars would heat and cool most average homes for a life time. Hey Al you need to crank that thermostat down Brother and stop pretending you are 'one of the folks', cause you aren't.

I thought it was the lighting, I guess he just came from his 200 degree house..lol and as for Brians claim that al earned it, show me any politician that "earned" anything, and as for the rest of us, did someone give us OUR house or did we EARN it and are being told by GORE DA BORE what to do in our house?

Feb. 27, 2007, 6:29 p.m.I think Gayub must have bought a plastic oscar trophy, cut the head off and put a gore bobble head onto it, and he worships it every night...the whole deal is no different than telling your kids something and doing the opposite in front of them...OH MY GOD NO!!!!! we are gores kids, think i'd rather be one of jerrys kids. as in lewis, than a follower of gore...PS...in a sad not, AL GORE has lost the key to his lock box, where he placed his oscar, social security and his brain..:)

But he's got a high electricity bill.
Oh well, I guess we should quit saving the environment, I'll start now by throwing my all my garbage in the pond down the street. Who is with me!?

Feb. 27, 2007, 6:49 p.m.I saw the aerial photographs of gores property somewhere in TN, that he leases out to whatever company it was for 50,000$ a year, and the junk that goes from there into the adjacent river, yeah I guess he found 50000 reasons not to care about that environmental issue
