After this revelation, maybe Al's utility bills will be classified for reasons of "national security".

A large number of Prius owners in CA live in 4000 square foot homes. They do not see the irony.

If Incoherent Truth is as bad as Mind Out of Balance no wonder the Academy was the only ones who watched it. His book could put Sominex out of business.

Owning a prius (or any other symbolic toy car) is about feeling good. Just like washing down quadruple cheeseburgers and large fries with Diet Coke.

Owning a prius is about feeling good.

And that feeling just got harder to keep a grip on.

I simply cannot believe this. I'm from a long line of energy wasters in big homes. This reported 221k kWh in a year is just not possible.

If I remember correctly, Barbara Streisand once recommended that people dry their clothes in fresh air, rather than using an automatic dryer, in order to save on energy. But she exempted herself because her recommendations were to people of a different socioeconomic class than hers.

And Arianna Huffington only flies private planes that are "going there anyway."

It's a class thing. Our class gives the orders, but yours follows them.

The Google founders reportedly drive hybrid cars -- and they also bought a boeing 767 for personal use! Talk about having a carbon footprint with a personal wide-body airliner.

Ah...now! The 'enlightened' may consume energy FOR THE CAUSE!
They are using it to better the world, and to educate the lowly masses. They NEED those limos and jets. They are forgiven by the Gods of Green!
Somehow, I don't think all the 'socially conscious' Gorebites at the Oscars last nite took mass transit home. Not many bikes lined up outside either, I'll bet! Hell- how many even carpooled- picked up friends in their stretch limos?
Hypocrites all.

Of course it's possible. The Left thinks Al Gore is God, and, as we know, with God all things are possible.

Hmmm... Wonder how that information is public. Does it have anything to do with NES being a public utility, and therefore subject to freedom-of-information requests, or something else? Funny you should ask, because that's the first place my mind went. Not that I mind Gore's being hoist with his own petard (especially Al Gore, under the circumstances), but... Do we even know if the info is accurate?
