I'll go ahead and say that I wish California would adopt him, so I don't have to hear it mentioned that he's from this great state.
Al Gore uses 20x more electricity than the average American household. He has a private jet which I am sure doesn't run off of Bio-Diesel. He was posed a question up there on the hill which basically said, "Will you change your ways so it goes with what you are teaching??". He said in his response, "My family and I live a carbon-neutral lifestyle.". Basically he buys these "carbon credits" from a company that he co-founded so he can pollute all he wants too and help the environment at the same time. What a crackhead. Al Gore is a money grubbing slimebag that is a parasite to Tennessee. Not only that, but in Smith County he has a Zinc Mine that is stripping away all kinds of land and trees and also has alot of runoff that contains toxic materials. Al Gore practice what you preach, or shut the HELL up.
I know that he doubles his energy bill by buying "green energy" for him electrical provider. And, the carbon credits issue you bring up is legitimate IMO. I have problems with him jetting around the country all the time, though. When it comes to global warming and GHGs ...that's a big no-no. I guess he could sell his estate...but let's face it...it's about 20 times bigger than the average american home....so the 20 times more electricity isn't extroidnary in that regard...but it does call into question whether it is responsible to own such a large home given his beliefs about global warming. At least he does offset it with credits
About the zinc mine...that issue is crazy to me...I would like to learn more about it (I've only heard tidbits here and there)
Even though, given all this, I'm fine with him being from tennessee...it takes all kinds, we've got all kinds.
