Al Gore Sued
 

Here is a link to a news site about the founder of the Weather Channel suing Al Gore for fraud, misrepresentation, for getting people to buy "Carbon credits."

Regardless of your political beliefs I feel he is a phony.

His "Mansion" (yes mansion) in Tennessee, has an "Electric Bill" of $1,800 a month!!

Oh but then I guess he created the Internet so he gets a pass at living what he preaches??

Al Gore is despicable. I am generally not a mean person but I have promised myself that if I ever get to meet him in person I am going to ask him "So how many nights have you stayed awake thinking about how if you had won your home state in 2000 you would have been President?" LOL!!

I think he is the first Presidential canidate to lose his home state in a very long time. The people of Tennessee know he is a phony and certainly does not reflect their values.

LOOK OVER THE DESCRIPTIONS OF THE FOLLOWING TWO HOUSES AND SEE IF YOU CAN TELL WHICH BELONGS TO AN ENVIRONMENTALIST.

HOUSE # 1:

A 20-room mansion (not including 8 bathrooms) heated by natural gas. Add on a pool (and a pool house) and a separate guest house all heated by gas. In ONE MONTH ALONE this mansion consumes more energy than the average American household in an ENTIRE YEAR. The average bill for electricity and natural gas runs over USD 2,400.00 per month. In natural gas alone (which last time we checked was a fossil fuel), this property consumes more than 20 times the national average for an American home. This house is not in a northern or Midwestern "snow belt," either. It's in the South.

HOUSE # 2:

Designed by an architecture professor at a leading national university, this house incorporates every "green" feature current home construction can provide. The house contains only 4,000 square feet (4 bedrooms) and is nestled on arid high prairie in the American southwest. A central closet in the house holds geothermal heat pumps drawing ground water through pipes sunk 300 feet into the ground. The water (usually 67 degrees F) heats the house in winter and cools it in summer. The system uses no fossil fuels such as oil or natural gas, and it consumes 25% of the electricity required for a conventional heating/cooling system. Rainwater from the roof is collected and funneled into a 25,000 gallon underground cistern. Wastewater from showers, sinks and toilets goes into underground purifying tanks and then into the cistern. The collected water then irrigates the land surrounding the house. Flowers and shrubs native to the area blend the property into the surrounding rural landscape.

HOUSE # 1 (20 room energy guzzling mansion) is outside of Nashville, Tennessee. It is the abode of that renowned environmentalist (and filmmaker) Al Gore.

HOUSE # 2 (model eco-friendly house) is on a ranch near Crawford, Texas. Also known as "the Texas White House," it is the private residence of the President of the United States, George W. Bush.

So whose house is gentler on the environment? Yet another story you WON'T hear on CNN, CBS, ABC, NBC, MSNBC or read about in the New York Times or the Washington Post. Indeed, for Mr. Gore, it's truly "an inconvenient truth."

AWESOME.

Reminds me that many of the loudest voices are the most meaningless.

Hoovie, Thanks for sharing that. My kids had told me about that comparison but I had forgotten about it. Perfect thread to post it in.

Did you notice GWB has not tried to use his house for good PR? Not that the press would give him any credit anyway of course. He just went and did what he thought was the right thing to do personally where Algore wants everybody else to do it but doesn't himself.

BTW - Algore took so much flack when the stats came out on his mansion he is now adding geothermal heat and some other stuff to make it look better.

It was from L&F but great comparison at any rate...



yeah yeah yeah.,.. gotta buy those carbon credits!

Yep, an empty barrel makes a lot of noise!
