Al Gore has responded to charges that his house consumes more electricity every month than many American households use in an entire year, with the new Oscar winner saying he has taken many steps to reduce the carbon footprint in his home.

I smell Bravo-Sierra. Anyone else smell it?

No, but I see dead people, does that count??

LOL!! Seriously, I think Al and his Fauxscar won't change his livestyle to "walk-the-walk", he'll just take it all underground and keep his utility usage out of public sight.

I saw one article claiming trees added to warming. Due to reforestation, there are more trees in the US than ever. Trees are dark in color and absorb and store heat from the sun, causing temperatures to climb.

Go figure.

I posted on the other thread maybe Al does a lot of arc welding in his spare time, LOL

Honestly, I don't think there is anyone in American politics more despicable than Albert Gore.

It's a toss-up, IMO, between him and Carter and Clinton. Take your pick.

[Uncle Hal]

The hypocrisy of the liberals and their cohorts in the MSM never ceases to amaze me. Great Post.

If he stayed home and spoke into his electric grid, he would not need Con Ed to power anything...

You mean like this?

"Honestly, I don't think there is anyone in American politics more despicable than Albert Gore."

Bill Clinton has my vote !

[duckbutt]

He built a home to replicate the White House, as I recall...

naw...no bitterness at the 2000 loss there.....

[DustyMoment]

Algore's dad never yelled at him "shut the door, I'm not heating the neighborhood!!!"

That's because Gore grew up in a hotel in Washington. None of them gave a rat's butt how much energy they consumed.

[DustyMoment]

I'll tell you something else: If you looked down at his mansion in the evenings, you'd see Chevy Chase's house in "Christmas Vacation"!

Fixed it for ya.

Speaking of solar panels, back when Gore was allowed to visit the WH once and a while, he installed a solar photovoltaic array to "offset" the power of the WH outdoor Christmas Tree. Iirc it cost close to a hundred grand and was pretty ugly.

He did that immediately and conspicuously- with our money, not his.

So now he'd rather pay for natural gas than install hot water solar panels for his pool (probably because the panels, while not outright ugly, can't really be called pretty).

[DustyMoment]

need I go on?

Please do, you've compiled a nice list of "Goreisms".

[Peach]

Sure, Al. We believe you. /sarcasm

[tsmith130]

I guess he also forgot about that thing he "invented" and how it's come back to bite him in his global butt.

[USS Alaska]

To INSTALL...you have to turn to the right.

Nah, al just uses his left hand and turns it left, it's all in the orientation.

[Phlap]

He lives in excess. I don't envy him. It is just a fact. One he would not accept. But a fact none the less.

Algore = A convenient lie.

Ha Ha! Bush has more solar at his house than Gore does at his!

here is the Christmas Tree solar power story. It was only 8KW, and was put up with tax money.

The article mentions Clinton's Million Solar Roof initiative- first I ever heard of it. A good idea if it's done with private money and has no hidden subsidies.
