Al Gore says, “I don’t claim to be perfect”. I claim he’s a Hypocrite!
Al Gore has responded to his 10% jump in electricity usage from 2006 to 2007. And, it’s classic…..
“I don’t claim to be perfect, and all of us who care about this issue are, are trying to do our part, but I, I will say this. We buy green energy. The issue is carbon. The issue is carbon, and we have, essentially, a carbon-free home.”
So the rich folks can continue to live their life however they want…as long as they pay a premium for green electricity, and buy carbon credits from their own company? This guy is no leader. If he were, he wouldn’t have to hide behind the carbon credit scheme.
In 2006, Gore’s Tennesse home used enough electricity for 20 average American homes…and $15k in natural gas. (He also owns a 4,000 sf home in VA, and a third home in Carthage, Tenn. so his total consumption isn’t known)
Gore receives $20,000 a year in royalties from Pasminco Zinc, which operates a zinc concession on his property. Tennessee has cited the company for adding large quantities of barium, iron and zinc to the nearby Caney Fork River.
In 2007, after extensive “green” remodeling, Gore’s home usage INCREASED by 10%!!!!!
In 2007, Al’s son, Al Gore III, was busted for driving 100 mph (in a Prius, lol). So, Al’s daughter went to pick him up from jail…..in a Maserati that gets 11 mpg…
The Carbon offsets he buys are FROM HIS OWN COMPANY!!!
He flies in a private charter jet to speeches, and investments, around the world (to the tune of $98 Million in income over the last 8 years).
This is the best part….earlier this week, Gore challenged America to generate 100% of electricity by carbon-free methods within 10 years. How did he get to the conference? Hybrid? No way. Walk? Naw. Bike? Hell naw. He had 2 Lincolns and an SUV. One of the Lincolns was left running the whole time so the AC would be nice and chilly for Tipper when the event was over.
This guy is the definition of Horse’s Ass, and I’d like to make a nomination as such.
p.s. CO2 is not causing global warming.
