Al Gore Responds
Filed under: Politik > Al Gore
We told y'all earlier that former vice president Al Gore seemed a little two faced when it was revealed by the Tennessee Center for Policy Research that the former Vice President's home energy use has risen by more than 10% over the past year.
Mr. Gore's spokesperson reached out to us to set the record straight.
Here's what she said:
I had the chance to read your blog today and wanted to take a chance to
clear the record:1. The Gores undertook a three plus year renovation that concluded in
November 2007 with the issuance, in November 2007 of Gold LEED (Leadership
in Energy and Environmental Design) from the US Green Building Council.2. As part of this renovation, the Gores have:
-Installed a geothermal system for heating, cooling and hot water
-Installed 33 solar panels
-Completely retrofitted their appliances, windows, ductwork, insulation, and
lighting.3. Since the renovations were complete, the Gores have saved 40 percent on
their site energy use (which is a combination of electricity and natural gas
bills–the two major sources of global warming gases).4. The Gores also purchase their electricity, through their utility, from
the Green PowerSwitch program–which means that their electricity come from
solar, wind and methane gas.So, in summary, the Gores have: made their home more energy efficient, the
produce electricity from renewable power (solar, geothermal) and they
purchase renewable power. No one is perfect, but they are doing their part.Finally, the Gores are also donating a substantial amount of their personal
time to educate the public about the climate crisis as well as donating the
proceeds of their work to charity. They have donated the proceeds of the
Nobel Peace Prize, "An Inconvenient Truth" (the book and film), and Mrs.
Gore's photography to the Alliance for Climate Protection and The Climate
Project.
And there you have it.
Thoughts?

he's a hypocrite. he's also involved in the "Green" thing for the publicity and money-there's no way he or any actual intelligent person who has researched both sides of the debate would believe in the global warming scam.
Why does he have to do all that in the first place to use less energy–why does his house use THAT MUCH energy anyway? That statement still doesn't explain anything
This fat sack of crap is a LIAR and a hypocrite. He doesn't do more than his part- talk is CHEAP. He tells US what to do, like john edwards does, but is the ultimate hypocrite. There is NO SUCH thing as a carbon credit- that is crap. His CGI film about global warming has helped create suppression of REAL research on climate because anyone who disagrees ISN'T funded. that is a form of intellectual terrorism.
I'm so tired of everyone judging people that try to make a difference. Yes Al Gore preaches certain things, and yes do as you preach, but COME ON! Everyone knows how difficult it is to be COMPLETELY GREEN. He tries, which is more than most people who post on this site can claim. Despite the statistics, Al Gore HAS attempted to make a difference by speaking out. How many of us can say the same?
Before the switch to electricity and geothermal, Gore was "buying back" all of the energy that he used. However, it's impossible to actually use green energy with gas powered systems. The switch to electricity removed nearly all of the gas usage and allowed them to actually use 'green' energy while still buying back the slight amount of gas being used. Even more than the use of green energy or the solar panels, the house retrofit, which obviously uses more energy in its transitional stage, drastically reduces the amount of wasted energy and energy needed in the first place.
If we believe this thick-o, thunko, fat, meat-eater, farter guy, we need psychiatric help. "The Gores…," "The Gores…," "The Gores…," "The Gores…." SOLAVAYA!!!
Re: Warden – I can tell…you're biolog..ish, sorta scientist…y. Perhaps Prof. Rush has filled your ear hole will too many "facts" 'n stuff. Global warming? Pfft, Myth wrapped in fact with a touch of fairy dust I guess. Plumbeus.
another typical limosine liberal….do as i say and not as i do…he truly is a tool.
how does that explain him flying around in a jet?
I agree with those who question Mr Gore's hype. In renovating his house to become green, he would have thrown out a lot of perfectly functional materials and systems which took energy to make in the first place, to have them replaced by supposedly greener materials and systems which take more energy to make. It would be interesting to know how long it would take for the net decrease in energy usage to come into effect when you consider this. And the renovation took 3 years? It must have been some renovation! An easier solution would have been to donwnsize and live a simpler life. But I guess Mr Gore likes his life of luxury while preaching to the rest of us, travelling constantly in jets and lining his pockets. Once a politician, always a politician. There's got to be something in it for him.
first of all read up what LEED Gold actually means. His house will practically breathe on its own, off the grid. Second, Al Gore's an Inconvenient Truth came out at a time that most people were still ignoring the truth about climate change. Al Gore has been working most of his career to bring this topic to the forefront. Because of his dedication to the topic many people around the world are now convinced there is a problem with our climate due to industrialized worlds off gassing and are doing something about it. An Inconvenient Truth is a clear, easily understood view of a very complicated subject. cudos to Al Gore
He's still full of BS
Re: sally – Im with you sally, peeps these days are so confused with the facts…I stand behind and believe in Gore. Always have. When its too late our childrens children will wonder why more people didnt do something about it!
Notice there is no denial that his energy usage has not risen ten per cent. Hypocrite.
How big is their house when just the 2 of them live there? How big is the SUV that they are driven around in? What about the flights they are continually taking? Sure they retrofitted their house, but the house probably doesn't need to be that big in the first place. just sick and very hypocritical.
What an obese, overconsuming hypocrite Limousine Liberal Gore is!
Look, global warming is real, but the earth also goes through a warming and cooling process. Al Gore's movie was full of misfacts (stated by a myriad of scientists). But yet we give him an oscar and a Nobel peace prize. He flies around the country in his private jets. We would all love to be able to make our houses "Green" but lets add up the price tag for such a job. Al Gore is an elite liberal who lives in his little elite Hollywood world. Why didn't Al Gore and Clinton do anything about our energy situation when they were in office. This has been many years in the making. They wait for republicans to be in control, and then blast them for not being "green".
Re: sally –
Umm Sally, did you see the movie? It is full of mistruths.
Re: Lanel –
Lanel, you are confused with the facts obvioulsy.
Makes sense. COnstruction takes energy. The fact that the costruction is Gold level LEED certified means waaaaay more than some extra energy usage for one year. His house will now use way less over the years than a typical one. He is doing more than enough. Get off his back idiots. DO some LEED research asshats.
LOSER!!!!!!
Al Gore brought environmental issues to the attention of the global arena. Regardless of how you see his movie, or other things he does to promote these issues, he made us all stop what we are doing and think about the issue at hand.
-
He has challenged us to look at the facts of the realities of the environment (and to question his facts) and whether you like Al Gore as a person, or role model, or political leader — it does not matter. We are now talking about the environment like never before. That is what Al Gore did for this world.
b.s. hes a globalist puppet spinning lied to impose thier enslaving cerbon taxe on us…do ur research perez doesnt know anything about truth and reality.
how about he STOP FLYING PRIVATE AIRPLANES everywhere! he understands that that pollutes Alot RIGHT..?
Maybe all that energy consumption happened when they were doing all the renovations to their house. After all, building all that stuff isn't cheap at the outset, but in the long run it balances out.
I think you've been bitch-slapped for sloppy journalism, Perez! You're a little too quick to condemn a highly-respected world leader without having researched your story. You're getting pretty cocky, you know.
it means you're a fat greasy pig who doesn't do adequate reseach before defaming people.
mmm…yeahh…no !
will he stop travelling in private jet ??? can he do that ? must be too hard..you know nobody is perfect…
Re: Tamar – i hate to see how all the environmentalists have been so brainwashed by Al Gore. The man is an investor in so many of the carbon offset companies that he now stands to make billions if the government adopts his warped way of thinking. This is about money pure and simple. Its great to want to help the planet but when it comes at a cost of other peoples rights and way of life then its gone too far. All this nonsense about doing this and that from Gore is doing nothing but raising your taxes to pay for them and infringing on your individual rights to live as you please regardless if the steak you ate comes from a cow that farted too much methane to melt the planet 10 years from now. Al Gore and his wife have done nothing but try to tell people how to run their lives since they came into the spotlight…. anyone remember his wifes attempt to ban certain music because she didnt believe it was right? Now i just have one question as far as all this global warming goes………… wasnt there an Ice Age before and where were all the cars and factories then to melt and warm the planet?
Really don't care to hear your opinions on politics or political figures… especially when you don't know your facts.
Stick to what you and your staff are good at — meaningless crap!
That was a complicated round about way to deflect from the original statement that he is overall using more energy in spite of all of his actions to the contrary.
none of what his paid flack said rebuts the fact he is using MORE energy than prior to those renovations. he's a hypocrite, making money by purchasing "energy credits" from his own business. what a sham!
LOSER! Come on a HUGE house that consumes the equivilant of 300 regular houses! Flys around in his private jet. Its called hypocrite.
they would save more money and more resources if they downsized and lived like normal people. why do they need such a large house? why do they need to use 10x the amount of power us little people use? why do they need private jets? unecessary and wasteful.
Al Gore is a douchebag
Oh, my two cents.
Thank you Mr. Gore for making your home more "energy efficient." However, you've missed an important point. You still have a carbon footprint that is outrageously excessive for yourself and your family. It's not about replacing your thousands of lightbulbs with energy efficient halogen. It's about reducing the number of lightbulbs you use in the first place.
So you're using 16,000 per month electricity rather than 22,000 a month. Big fat deal!!! Why do you and Tipper—two people—need that much electricity to read your books and sip your lattes?
You people still don't get it. You sit in your smug little worlds thinking you are doing such a favor to the rest of the world to buy a "more energy efficient" 25.000 square foot house, or a more energy efficient private jet, or replacing one of your fleet of vehicles with one that uses biofuels.
You don't get it. it's about reducing your needs. Living smaller. Living more simply. Living in a smaller house. vVdeoconferencing rather than jetting around the world.
If the man who invented the internet and discovered global warming doesn't get that, god help the rest of us.
The Gores are smarmy. Back in the 80s when Tipper was all about warning labels for song lyrics, that was just a ruse. She was only trying to cause a stir to get herself noticed so in turn, her husband would be and that supposedly would help him make it to the White House. I know this because my parents were at a party where they HEARD Tipper laughing about it all.
legit.
Al Gore is a great man. We are lucky to have him. And the Neocons know it or they wouldn't try so hard to destroy him.
the level of energy they're using may be higher, but that energy doesn't pollute… you should check what you write before you post it, it could bounce back at you and hurt you in the face, perez. have you done anything he's done for the planet?
Thank you for setting the record straight. As I said yesterday, the falsehoods and half-truths spread by the oil industry are non-stop. Their intent is to make people believe that the science is still out on global warming (it isn't - the scientific community all believe it's real) and to try to discredit those who speak out for change (like Al Gore). Al may not be perfect, but he is doing more than any one person to push for change.
"Do as I say, not as I do"……….Al, fat-ass, blow-hard, Gore. He is pathetic.
What have any of you people done? NADA! Why are Americans so lazy and frightend to try something new? Face it fools…the corporations own your asses and it will always be that way, even if Barack wins in 08 that will NEVER change. BAAAHHHH!
I have first hand knowledge that Mr Gore had his assistants call several companies (i.e. GE and ask for FREE flourescent lighting for his house). Do not forget that he flies around the country on his Leer Jet - and how much fuel does that take and isn't jet pollution contributing to so-called global warming?
you're such a closet republican peepee
1. The Gores love to fly around in a private jet
2. The Gores want us to do as they say and not as they do.
3. The Gores won't debate real climate researchers who have some questions about his facts.
Al Gore is standing on a platform that has no scientific proof of existence. Even if it did, I refuse to be "guilted into" my energy usage by politicians who use thousands of times as much. The USA is the most developed country in the world, and by comparison, one of the most energy efficient. We use more, because we produce more. In comparison, we are doing a great job. Why don't we stop condeming our own country! China pollutes more than any country and gets no criticism from our press. They also run a horrible country and are baby killers. We need to become completely independent and stop shooting ourselves in the foot. "Go Green" is something being sold to the young adults in america, and its working.
Okay. As soon as I make $100MM I promise to build a house 10 times bigger than any normal person would ever be able to afford. THEN, just to show what a great friend of the environment I am, I will remodel it to make it 40% more energy efficient. STILL using about six time more than any average person. Gore is a schmuck.
but he still eats meat, so, he is full of shit.
Re: Laura – uMMM ARE YOU ALL STUPID? OBVIOUSLY… WHY DO YOU PEOPLE NOT GET THAT IT DOES NOT MATTER HOW MUCH HE USES, IT IS ALL FROM RENEWABLE SOURCES AND WHY DO YOU MORONS NOT GET THAT THE CLAIM AGAINST HIM IS OBVIOUSLY FALSE SINCE THE PROJECT JUST FINISHED IN NOV 2007, IT HASN'T BEEN A YEAR YET. SERIOUSLY YOU ALL ARE SO SAD AND PATHETIC, NO WONDER THE WORLD LOOKS DOWN ON AMERICANS. AND JOSH, I DON'T KNOW WHWERE YOUR FROM, BUT WHERE I AM FROM YES YOU CAN BUY STRAIGHT UP ELECTRICITY FRON A RENEWABLE SOURCE, WE GET IT FROM HYDRO POWER AND THEIR SYSTEM DOES NOT GO INTO ANYONE ELSES SWITCHYARD BUT THEIR OWN, GET EDUCATED PEOPLE! AT LEAST HE IS DOING SOMETHING, AND YES PEOPLE READ THE COMMENT ABOUT THE "INVENTING THE iNTERNET" BECAUSE YOU ALL BASH HIM FOR THIS BUT DON'T EVEN REALIZE THAT HE EVER SAID HE INVENTED IT
I love the fact that al's spokesperson has time to read perez! How does she have access to the internet I thought electricity was evil & hurt the environment
WINNER! Yay Gore!
i love how the gore camp didn't refute the idea of the energy going up AFTER he made it more green-freindly. if it were untrue - you'd think that they'd have some kinds of evidence to the contrary. i mean, shit - i can say i am the queen of england. doesn't make it true. gore's a 1st class idiot!
Al Gore's a huge tool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Re: STUPI – You sound so angry, you must be a democrat or maybe one of bill's many mistresses. I don't think you meant to say "ever said" I think you might have meant "Never Said" also and I quote this is what he did say "During my service in the U.S. congress, I took the initiative in creating the Internet"
he is a fucking cuntbag
Ha! Seeeee? He IS doing his part. And you freaks that think there is no climate crisis are just…ignoring the situation! (that is the nicest way I could say it.) In Tennessee, we don't even see the leaves peak in the fall anymore. CLIMATE! Wild hurricanes, floods, ancient glaciers breaking apart. What more proof do you need? Geesh!
I'd do Gore in a HEARTBEAT what a hot older man YUM! My energy would go up more than 50% doing it with him!
Ok, so when our power stops working from over usage, we all come down with different forms of cancer, food won't grow properly because the weather is all messed up, crazy weather patterns destroy our homes, and then everyone will cry about not having a solution. Give the man some credit! Half you losers on here contribute NOTHING.
By the way, educate yourselves — Gore WON the race against Bush. Our president's BROTHER was the governor of FL during his initial election against Gore. How convenient is that his brother governed the SAME STATE that needed a re-count, and just happened to give Bush the votes he needed to win. DON'T BE SO NAIVE!
proof he is a liar
WhatEVER. What they say about his private jets. He is a money hungry whore and the "little" people in this world need to stop being morons and following what this guy says.
installing a few solar panels or whatever other crap was mentioned (renewable energy sources) does not make up for the fact that he is using excessive amounts of (non renewable) energy…
wininning a nobel peace prize and rasing awareness means crap if mr. gore himeself is polluting in the way you described
why must we waste time critcizing one of the few people doing a lot when we know he is doing a hell of a lot more than any of US
Whether or not "global warming" is real it doesn't hurt anyone to try and use less energy and produce less pollution. Why should we wait until there is a definite crisis before we change our behavior?
I am pleased they responded directly to you, acknowledging your direct connection to the people, and me. I like their response. Now, what I want to see is a website that displays the Gore house as a role model for other houses. They should share photos of the changes made to their home including final product; the costs associated with each specific task; the breakdown of the contribution of each modification towards lowering their energy bill; how the materials used in each task were manufactured; and, an overall over time record of energy savings including exact dollar amounts and kilowatt consumption. Finally, they should provide links to companies providing these services around the country. They may even choose to offer certification to companies who can demonstrate they use eco-friendly methods and materials during fabrication and installation. They have our attention. Now, what are they going to do with it?
How interesting that AL GORE is worried about what Perez Hilton thinks! Perez has got the power!
And I think Al's spinning his energy use. He does not need that much house. Period.
Our all-electric house has a monthly electric bill of under $80 a month except Christmas, and really hot or cold months.
Like many have already said… Stop with the Politics Perez! It's a good thing to urge us to vote, but you should stick to your business, and it ain't the White House!! Gossip and lies about the stars don't really matter, but when you mess with politics those lies can make a huge impact on people!! Besides,, do you want John McCain to win?? do you want miniBush to keep us at war? Then why do you attack Obama and Gore???? Keep it simple and true perecito!!
"Rules for thee but not for me"
Is he still looking for Man-Bear-Pig too?
Re: STUPI –
Hey STUPI… you really are STUPID!
all his power usage is NOT from renewable sources! maybe he does pay the 8-10 percent extra for 'green' electric… but he is still using 20 times the amount of natural gas that an average American family uses. Natural gas is NOT renewable. IDIOT.Re: STUPI –
LOOK OVER THE DESCRIPTIONS OF THE FOLLOWING TWO HOUSES AND SEE IF YOU CAN TELL WHICH BELONGS TO AN ENVIRONMENTALIST.
HOUSE # 1:
A 20-room mansion (not including 8 bathrooms) heated by natural gas. Add on a pool (and a pool house) and a separate guest house all heated by gas. In ONE MONTH ALONE this mansion consumes more energy than the average American household in an ENTIRE YEAR. The average bill for electricity and
natural gas runs over $2,400.00 per month. In natural gas alone (which last time we checked was a fossil fuel), this property consumes more than 20 times the national average for an American home. This house is not in a northern or Midwestern "snow belt," either. It's in the South.
HOUSE # 2:
Designed by an architecture professor at a leading national university, this house incorporates every "green" feature current home construction can provide. The house contains only 4,000 square feet (4 bedrooms) and is nestled on arid high prairie in the American southwest. A central closet in the house holds geothermal heat pumps drawing ground water through pipes sunk 300 feet into the ground. The water (usually 67 degrees F.)
heats the house in winter and cools it in summer. The system uses no fossil fuels such as oil or natural gas, and it consumes 25% of the electricity required for a conventional heating/cooling system. Rainwater
from the roof is collected and funneled into a 25,000 gallon underground cistern. Wastewater from showers, sinks and toilets goes into underground purifying tanks and then into the cistern. The collected water then irrigates the land surrounding the house. Flowers and shrubs native to the area blend the property into the surrounding rural landscape.
Re: tiper – Make your research!Go to snopes for example. Gore never said he invented the internet. His comments were taken out of context of an interview he gave in March 1999 to CNN.
HOUSE # 1 (20 room energy guzzling mansion) is outside of Nashville, Tennessee. It is the abode of that renowned environmentalist (and filmmaker) Al Gore.
HOUSE # 2 (model eco-friendly house) is on a ranch near Crawford, Texas. Also known as "the Texas White House," it is the private residence of the President of the United States, George W. Bush.
So whose house is gentler on the environment? Yet another story you WON'T hear on CNN, CBS, ABC, NBC, MSNBC or read about in the New York Times or the Washington Post. Indeed, for Mr. Gore, it's truly "an inconvenient truth."
Liar, liar, pants on fire. This limousine liberal wants us to walk everywhere while he flies around on his giant private jet.
Al gore is a hypocrite…. he is fullllllllllll of SHIT! global warming ooo yehh i live in minnesota and it feels like winterr when its supposed to be summer! he has a mansion in kentucy with a pool house…. and that pool house uses more energy then 5 regular houses in that same place…. what does he have to say about that? and NO he dosent use solar energyy and he has HUGE hummers and limos! so what right does he have to tell us what to do? he should be preaching to him self about "global warming"
Shyster, conman, hypocrite, liar. Pandering the ignorance of others. Uses the naive to harm the powerful whom he also uses to line his pockets. His poor wife is she that naive and or hopelessly attracted to money. He is no better than Al Sharpton who out and out blackmails companies for his fortune. Man I really really dislike this lower form of DNA…man is no better than a parasite which also uses another for their betterment.
Gore can suck my cock. He repeatedly flies first class across the globe to lecture people and make them feel guilty because the 3 week trip to europe they saved all their life for is killing the planet.
This is a man who until very recently made a mint off the back of oil sales. This is a man who did SWEET FUCK ALL for the environment whilst holding the second most powerful political position on earth.
I'm fucking sick of rich arseholes wanting credit because they can AFFORD to install a bunch of bourgeois feel good enviro crap in their homes (harder to do when you rent) even though for their entire lives they produce FAR FAR more carbon than the rest of us.
Gore is a typical middle class do nothing wanker who thinks he can change the world via his personal consumption.
Maybe if he composts himself he'll deserve a small percentage of the sycophantic praise he's received for his role as an "eco warrior"
Gore is a hypocritical asshole! Do as I say, not as I do.
some of you are so ignorant. pick up the book Skeptical Environmentalist by Bjorn Lomborg you will learn the real situation.
I think the fact that he owns FOUR very large homes just about says it all. You can't have it both ways, Al. If you want the little people to believe you, you must give up the fat-cat, energy-hogging lifestyle. But your selfishness will prevent that. The people that are fooled by this guy are few and far between, unfortunately they are a very vocal bunch of Hollywood/media elitists.
give him a break, he's doing more than anybody else just by putting the truth out there
Winner, OF COURSE. Sure they increased kwh but this explains that all of their electricity comes from renewable sources. Republicans need to start work on improving their image rather than grasping at straws to diminish people like al gore. It just makes them look bad.
I love and respect Al Gore!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Re: Gores – Beautifully said!! Exactly right. It's as ridiculous as saying man was the cause of the last ice age.
Please stop preaching to the american people al snore. Its not his job to guilt us into making "green" changes (especially when he's making millions off of it). This whole green movement is a manufactured hand delivered creation aimed at young adults (you see it on mtv, with young celebrities, etc.) Its fine to decrease your energy if you want to, but dangerous when you let government dictate your decisions FOR you. The USA uses alot of energy because they are the most productive nation (so they spend alot of energy). In ratio, we are actually very consistent and reasonable. Why are we attacking ourselves when China is over there with a regime that kills innocent babies and causes more pollution than any other country??? Why don't they criticize themselves and talk about how bad they are? I think we're the only country that condemns ourselves. Drill for oil here. Bring back the small business. Stop depending on other countries and stop hating on america.
Donate time my ass. This guy is making huge $ of this.
Winner. I love Al Gore. He's intelligent and continues to educate all of us, worldwide, about problems - and possible solutions - for the ever-increasing negative effects of global climate change.
Thumbs up for a smart guy with an honorable cause!
To the people saying that Global Warming isn't real.
Just because you don't believe in this one theory of climate change doesn't mean that people shouldn't be aware and do their part to protect the environment. Not to mention the chaos our dependence on oil has caused. Do you think we can just replant whole rain forests? It disgusts me that people can be so careless about something so irreplaceable.
Regardless of whether or not global warming is real (Why give the Nobel peace prize to someone with an imaginary cause, btw?), it is common sense that we get 80% of the clean air we breath from rain forests. At the rate they are depleting coupled with increasing amounts of carbon in the air and rapid population growth, do you think we'll have enough clean air to breath?
In short, STOP DRIVING YOUR SUVS AROUND, RECYCLE AND USE RECYCLED PRODUCTS, and SUPPORT SUSTAINABLE ALTERNATIVE ENERGY.
No thank you al gore, I dont need you preaching to me. Go preach to china- they pollute more than any other country, but you don't see the leaders of their country telling them how awful they are and what they need to do to "change" and "go green". I swear, this go green thing is getting out of control. drill for oil here and stop depending on other countries. he's making a killing of this environment stuff! Of course he can afford to re-do his whole home in the more expensive "environment friendly" style. yeesh! this is a joke!
Al Gore is a good man trying to do good things. He is a very prominate figure in the US and I commend him for getting the reality of global warming out there. Think about how big your footprint on the world is Perez. Those who live in glass houses should not throw stones Mr. I was in London, now I'm in LA, no wait-Miami!
al gore is horrible. he found his little platform to make millions off of and he disgusts me. we need to drill for oil here- make money, generate jobs and decrease gas prices. al gore and the other environmentalists are the very reason we aren't able to do so.
Re: Douch – Regarding the sarcasm about the Bible, please don't assume that I'm an evangelical who will overeact to your comment. I'm not. I do believe that as Christians we have to step up for the Earth. Actions speak louder then words. And as for the "free talks", they were given AFTER the paid talks. Again, please check your facts.
rule numero uno- practice what you preach
Re: Battl – How can anyone with a brain believe that man, who has only been industrialized for about 150 years, can adversly affect a planet that is 4 BILLION years old and has gone through global floods, fires, massive earthquakes, comet and asteroid bombardment, polar reversals and ice ages??? Man is nothing but a blink of and eye biological experiment that will leave no trace of his existence after this planet decides to rid herself of us. Sorry arrogant liberals- you can't control nature.
Let's say what they say is true, that they have reduced their energy use by 40%. That is still using more energy in a course of two months than normal Americans use in a year. Definitely a case of do as I say, not as I do.
What a dumb ass. He just spent about 10 mil on his house when he would have been better off just using less energy like turning off the lights when not in use. 10 mil would have gone a long way to feed hungry kids in the USA. We have retards like that running our government.
environmentalist like gore are the nation's biggest roadblock to independence right now: drill for oil here! take the ban off!
This fat liars little rules apply to everyone except him. I wish he'd get cancer.
Re: Rhond –
The plantation foreman - I fucking love it!!! I was thinking the same thing.
Al - you're junk.
