Al Gore has a new boat and even it is green.
The boat is docked at Hurricane Marina on Center Hill Lake in Smithville, about 70 miles east of Nashville.
While it doesn't have solar panels yet, a spokesperson at Gore's office told News 2 they are scheduled to be installed Wednesday.
The boat is named Bio-Solar One and has been called the "Toyota Prius of boats"...

How about.....just don’t have a boat, Al. No chance you’ll pollute or waste energy that way.

The Prius of boats is a sail boat. Don’t even try to prove otherwise.

I saw the pic. It appears to be at least 60 feet, and I guarantee you it has a carbon-footprint several orders of magnitude larger than my gas-powered Baja regardless of the solar panels and “alternative fuels”.

The boat is named Bio-Solar One and has been called the "Toyota Prius of boats", reportedly so efficient it only needs to be filled up with fuel once a yearSo the B.S. One only needs to be fueled once a year. Big whoop. We gots aircraft carriers and submarines that only need to be fueled once every 50 years.

The keyword in the article is the word “even”. That is to imply that everything else about dummy here is as pure as the wind-driven snow, which it aint.

I wonder where someone who spent his life as a “public servant” got the money to buy something like this? I really screwed up spending my life working for a living.

What a lame stunt. If he were really serious about ‘saving’ the environment, he’d forgo such ostentatious luxuries like the rest of us. Sheeeesh....
To: 1rudeboy
Solar panels don’t make very good sails though...maybe it should have sails as well. That way if it’s cloudy there might be some wind.

Folks, Algore's BS-1 (that's the real name) is an energy hog. Take a look at this latest bit of hypocrisy.
