I never cease to marvel at some people's stupidity.
I sure wouldn't want these guys in charge in the event of a real emergency. Giving out free light bulbs at the county fair, etc. Who is going to look into the economics of those light bulbs to find algore and James Carville on the boards of directors?
Gosh, I thought I put the Barf Alert in. I looked at the header and somehow it ended up in the source line. I guess I was too busy barfing.
The man may be stupid, but there's nothing wrong with energy conservation. The steps he's taken are good, common-sense ones---steps we've taken in our own home.
He's just saving the world, one light bulb at a time.
He's obviously a hero. < sniffle>
It's there, in the link.
I had a tagline similar to this sometime ago:
A lie repeated often enough, is eventually believed as being the truth.
This is taking on the aspects of a cult more and more every day.
Yes, energy conservation is just common sense, and will save you money too.
I've been looking at Google Earth recently. We're a pretty damn small speck on this planet- too small to cause drastic climate change all by ourselves.
I voluntarily reduce my energy consumption and the free market rewards me.
Enlightened self-interest can save the world.
Sorry. Got to go. I need to go out and shovel some "global warming" off of my driveway.
People who really believe this stuff are morally obligated to live like dirt people - no cars, no lights, no heat, no AC. To do anything less is utterly immoral and they should be called on it every time.
"The steps he's taken are good, common-sense ones---steps we've taken in our own home."
They are good, common sense ideas for saving a few pennies a month and making the guy feel good about himself (which is the whole point), not for "saving the world".
"Those of us who are in the know have a big job ahead of us to get everybody else in the know," he said.

Not really. I read this and now I know you're a moron. Not that big a job.
Doesn't he know that fluorescent bulbs contain the dreaded MERCURY? Seriously, I get the feeling that this whole GW thing is going to jump the shark sometime in the near future. It's just getting too hysterical.

Watch Al Gore carefully next time he's on tv ranting about something, or when he's with his degenerate showbiz buddies on the oscar broadcast, and tell me he's not insane. I've always suspected that he wasn't wrapped too tight, but since the 2000 election, and with the advent of this global warming crap, he really appears to be unstable. You dont have to be a psychiatrist or trained in psycho-babble to know and recognize a nutcase when you see one. Polititians of the opposing party to the one in office used to act with a certain amount of decorum and discretion, but today, anything goes, with wild, unrestrained criticism of the President with no regard for the possible harmful consequences that could result and the encouragement to the enemy in this time of war. No one stands out as being more guilty of this than that maniac Al Gore. His screaming rant of "he betrayed us...he betrayed us" , and his unrestrained disrespect for the office of the President is disgraceful. That, and other charactaistics of Mr. Gore remind me of a very, very unstable person. His taking credit for the inspiration of the movie "Love Story", his taking credit for the creation of the internet, his criticism of Bush's Viet Nam srevice, while failing to mention his own prividged service role, no doubt because of the influence of his father, and most of all, his unhinged, crazed ranting and posturing while on camera or before a microphone, convinces me that he's a nutcase, even nuttier than his buddy Howard "Howlin' Mad" Dean. We can all rejoice and thank God that we dodged THAT bullet in 2000. Regardless of how much Bush disappoints, angers and frustrates me, it was a blessing that it was him elected in 2000 rather than an insane man, who incidently, had an advisor telling him how to dress, so as to appear to be an "alpha male". My guess of how he would have reacted to 9/11 and terrorism in general if he was elected President would be to have appeared at a press conference in only his underwear with his veins popping out of his forehead or something equally loony. Al Gore is INSANE!

Maybe they can raise money to buy life jackets for the drowning cartoon polar bears shown in Al Gore's opus.
