Do As I Say (Not As I Do)

So Al Gore wants us to conserve energy consumption? Perhaps he should start at his home first.

except that they are comparing average home usage against his far-from-average home. Heating and electricity increase exponentially with square footage, and I would think Gore's home is considerably large.

His usage per square foot may be lower than average.

I guess statistics can be used to prove anything; forfty percent of people know that.

but the point is --who needs a 20 room 8 bathroom home with such a huge energy need??

[Toma]

He runs 2 businesses out of there, it is almost 10,ooo feet, in the last year, he has stepped up construction renovating the old "shack", putting in new energy efficeint windows, insulating... He holds upwards of 2 conferences a week, and as many as 10 rooms are used at a time.

It is lit by compact fluorescents, he subscribes to green power instead of coal produced, and he himselfs drive a hybrid.

The only way that mansion would use less power would be if it were torn down.

The idiots at drudge report make it sound like one guy lives there, and that;s all.

[Xtrema]

Selective reporting, everyone is guilty of it.

Business... runs a business... 2 actually.

And the only way that "mansion" would use less power would be if it were torn down, or simply abandoned.

If Gore didn't live there, someone else would, and would they be so "green"?

Too much ASS - U-ming going on here...

All BS excuses -- so what if he runs 2 businesses?

...and what would they be that he REQUIRES a home of that size.

If Gore didn't live there someone less green would?? Come on... thats just flawed logic man.

If Chicken Little himself doesn't have a small environmental footprint why should I take his message seriously?

[Envitro]

Actually, the web site that everyone is quoting has been discredited as a Republican-backed think-tank and not a "non-partisan" research council.

They're basically running a smear campaign...

Well of course it has....

But some people just love the "for hire" lobby groups... whether running smear campaigns against Gore, Global warming, or telling you cigarettes are good for you lol... Obviously there are people with diminished capacity that this works on, otherwise these groups would not be around lol

So what if it's a right wing thinktank?!?!?

How does that change the fact that Chicken Little Gore doesn't practice what he preaches??

Dude don't be a dumbass let it go...

If you are not satisfied with the answers provided here do some research and prove that his energy consumption/house size is above average and that he is not walking the walk. Quote websites and such cause right now you're looking like you don't know much about this and you just want to pick an efight with Toma which is not gonna happen.

Probably the worst justification I have heard so far.

Perhaps we should all go and buy used SUVs.

Perhaps Gore should tear down his place and build a community of 1200 sq ft energy efficient homes that run on solar power. Or just turn it into public greenspace for community run organic gardens.

Well, here... from MSNBC (instead of lies from Drudge et. al.)

And for Sputnik and D. Dub...

.... nothing would make you happy.... so don't even bother Your ability to string a logical thought together from beginning to conclusion is seriosuly lacking, and I suspect nothing will fix that....

To be honest... I did forget about his Security...
