Here is a good editorial by Steven Malloy about Al Gore's hypocritical views on using energy...which are that because he is rich he can use all he wants, but the rest of us should tighten our belts and ride our bikes.
"While Gore relaxes in his posh pool house and heated pool, you should be taking shorter and colder showers, and hanging your laundry outside to dry. As Gore jets around the world in first-class comfort to hob-nob with society’s elites about his self-declared “moral imperative”, you should travel less and bike to work. You should use less electricity while Al and his wife, Tipper, use 20 times the national average. Now that’s a real carbon offset."
I already hang my laundry outside to dry, heat with wood, (which is pretty darned renewable), and drive as little as possible. However, I am not willing to give a pass on pollution to countries like China or India and $300 men like Gore.

All of Al's friends in Hollywood also live in oil hungry mansions and drive gas guzzling cars.
Hi Dan, I also read somewhere else that he has at least three other homes! I would suspect that they up the power bill ante considerably.
The Gore Mansion in Tennessee consumes more energy in 1 month than most homes consume in 1 year.
Now PETA (who I can't stand BTW) says you can save a lot more CO2 by becoming a vegan. Hello, Al, comment please????
Flo, that cracks me right up. You are right of course.
AMEN!!
Good editorial. I wonder how long we will have to live with the hypocrisy of the former VP and his new career before the country catches on.
Hi Loubob, Couldn't agree more. Thanks for visiting and taking time to comment!
Jan, it amazes me how much hypocrisy people find acceptably if someone is popular or powerful
My bill was $190 last month and that was an incovenient truth to me.
I was shooting for $175.
