Steve Smith, executive director of the Southern Alliance for Clean Energy, appears in this film and will participate in our March 22 panel discussion. He will also present Al Gores slideshow on March 23, she said. Click and scroll down to Mar. 11
I'm so glad the AP found an objective source to evaluate goron's home.
Says it all:
“The Gores decided to take a series of steps over time that might be logistically or financially out of reach for many Americans,” she said. “But they were fortunate enough to have the ability to do so.
Yet AlBore would like to impose these costs on us all.
Thats great. Now when the vast majority of Americans can afford to do the same thing, without breaking into their life savings, then we will talk. Until then Gordo, shut the h#ll up.
It’s all in the first sentence. Gore only made the changes AFTER being criticized about it.
Wonder if he ever got around to fixing his tenant’s plumbing problems...
Think of all that mercury that will end up in the environment. Gore's environmental insensitivity has reached new lows.
“Short of tearing it down and staring anew, I don’t know how it could have been rated any higher,”
You could have just turned off the electricity and moved into a treehouse, Al.
He had a good thing going, laudnering carbon credits to himself, before people noticed his home and demanded energy efficiency on his part.
Figure I'll ride my mule over his way and share some cider and swap some tobacco.
I can return that book he gave me last time. I guess I better dog ear some pages and put a bugger in the Forward.
Lordy, Lordy, pick a little cotton...Lordy, Lordy, bale a little hay...
You mean that he's preventing the natural flow of water into the Mississippi River water table??
He only did what “W” had already done to HIS house without being shamed into it.
It’s easy to do such upgrades when you have $100million in the bank. About 100 fold what he had when he left DC. Follow the money.
He is still using 9110 kilowatts compared to the average homes use of 1300 kilowatts.
AP accolades for 11%? That 11% energy savings just went out the window with his recent trip to Bali. The way the media heralds Gore you’d think they had no idea that Gore’s father voted against the Civil Rights laws in the sixties.
So now Al Gore Junior will be powering his home using his own solar panels. The energy consumption will still be high but it will be privately sourced and the consumption won't be monitored.
IIRC, this sounds like he's updating his home according to the Crawford, TX Bush Family Enviro-Friendly Norm. High time, too, Mr. Gore that you followed the president's lead.
“And all the money spent can be considered a carbon offset.”
The Grand Goreacle of the Church of Global Warmology, selling indulgences, er, carbon credits to assuage the guilt of his brain-dead followers. (And filling his own personal coffers at the same time!)
