“I read about a green stadium designed by Smith Group in Detroit that was featured in SI. Part of the plan was that they would mine the effluent for fertilizer for the plants around the stadium. WTF?”

They play a lot of crappy football in Detroit. After a Lions game, we’d be able to fertilize most of the Detroit suburbs too.

Now, if we could only capture the hot air output from our politicians....

"What a moron. If he were honest he’d admit he was a hypocrite and say that he’s amending his ways...instead he plays the typical liberal and attacks those who see his hypocrisy"

And note how Yahoo attacks the "conservative group" for pointing out Gore's energy usage. Then in the next sentence admits they were accurate. This kind of hypocrisy would be politically fatal to a conservative. It's the equivalent of an anti-homosexual preacher getting caught in a gay bar.

As a plumbing contractor I know a very simple sign that someone is not an environmentalist, it is the oversized water and gas meters of my Southern California coastal customers. (Mostly liberal)

For the common Joes here, that gas meter and water meter that is on your house? Well, they ain’t the ones the rich liberals use.

Gore is also upgrading windows and ductwork, installing more energy-efficient light bulbs and creating a rainwater collection system for irrigation and water management.

Gee. Doesn't Bush's house in Crawford already have all this and more, designed in from the beginning?

I hope he likes trying to read by the brown light from those squiggly light bulbs that are so environmentally aware that they cost four bucks each, come one to a BIG package, and contain mercury. Yessiree! Go green, Al, go GREEN!

Well, we know exactly how the MSM treats preachers who obtain massages from a homosexual.

I won’t stop criticising until he and his household are wiping their butts with leaves.

Furthermore they must only use one leaf per "visit", and that leaf must be from a poison ivy plant...

I wonder how much all of this cost. Maybe he could redo my house as an example of what can be done on a typical house, not his mansion(s).

I doubt he had to wait for zoning changes to change his light bulbs. What an idiot.

The creation of the house and contents alone cost more in global warming than his monthly energy use.

Does Al know what it took to cut the trees, haul them, manufacture them, use polluting industry for the electrical componants, ad infinitum?

Tipper’s makeup is a source of gobal warming and rain forest deforestation since many of the high end ingredients are natural.

You can’t win this one, Al. No matter what you and your family do, you are causing global warming.

Have you talked to Professor Singer lately? He has some ideas on just how you can do your part.
