During the recount saga I remember reading an article about Gore "needing" to shower at least 5 times a day or more (Do not know the exact number but it was abnormal).

I guess people like Gore don't mind living without a conscience. Or maybe, just too busy rolling in $$$ to even care about their hypocrisy.

The people I am irritated with are the useful idiots who vote for people like this.

All bull sh*t he spews is for the little people in America, not for the self important phoney like himself.

What a large bag of wind and a phoney.

This is just the typical liberal' actions. Their favorite saying is "DO AS I SAY, NOT AS I DO". I hope this hypocritical bastard chokes on his awards.

Can you explain carbon credits to me?? If the goal is a zero carbon footprint, who produces enough negative carbon that they can sell the credits??

Damn he spends more than half of what I make a month on Electric and Gas alone... and mine is supporting a family of 5 and we used less kw hours last year than he did last August!

Great idea, chiefqc. We should build enormous wind farms just off the coast from the Kennedy compound, down the street from fat boy Al Gore's house and all around Washington DC where the biggest wind bags work.

Everyone of us should get down on our knees and thank God Algore didn't become president!

I don't care how it happened; elected, selected, or a military coup, but getting Bush in and not Gore was a gift from the Father Himself.

Also, it's nice to see the dems (like David Remnick) continue to get all flustered about it. It's the little things in life like this that makes it so worthwhile.

My house is all electric with central air. Now in the winter time when it is cold I use the wood furnace and it cuts the electric bill to 80 to 90 bucks. Without the wood furnace the bill will run $180. Dec 22 to Jan 22 we used 1684 KW. Mostly because we were gone several days during that period and the wood furnace wasn't operating.

Summer time with the A/C is rarely $160 a month and my wife likes the house cold!

If algore is so concerned about the environment he should lead rather than lecture.

a carbon credit is a tax. nothing more. nothing solved
and even more worrisome is who controls the tax.

Hollywood should be a good place to start collecting the tax if they are really concerned about the environment.

algore is starting to look like Herman Goering

No, more like Jabba The Hud from Star Wars, but not as attractive. :)

My house is all electric and I have a high efficiency heat pump. I heat and cool about 2000 square feet. My average electrical bill for the year is 190 bucks a month. All the lights in my house are fluorescent. I am considering a ground loop system heat exchange. When the economics of it are break even it will be installed. I go green based on economics and what it costs me, and nothing else. When Al Gores Carbon Foot Print equals mine I will will become a Demonic Rat. That "aint gonna" happen.

PS
Global Warming is real, it comes from the sun, not CO2. If history is any proper record we have no idea if we are in a warming period of on the verge of a cooling period. If we are on the beginning of a true warming period and the ice caps do really melt civilization will be the better for it. Vast areas of land will be available for cultivation and civilizations expansion. The rising sea levels will be very very slow over many centuries and we will simply move in accordance with the sea. Buildings will not succumb to rising sea levels as they will be centuries old when it happens and long gone before the sea covers that area if it happens which is in great doubt.

The big winners in global warming if it happens are Russia and Canada. They would become the bread basket of the world.

"Um, wouldn't this be TVA electricity, as in water turbine energy....as in another green source of energy not derived from fossil fuels? Just asking."

In addition to a lot of hydroelectric plants and 3 nuke plants, TVA runs 13 fossil fuel burning power plants. See:

He spends about 25 times more than I do in energy. Maybe he should be a country. I was dismayed last night how much Leonardo DiCaprio, whom I admire as an actor, sucked up to this nonsense.
