When posting a "news story" one ought to have a "news source" idiot.
However, if you want a laugh, one of your fellow conservatrons posted a
"news story" to back up your lame attacks. Here's some of the contents!

"If this were any other person with $30,000-a-year in utility bills, I
wouldn't care," says the Center's 27-year-old president, Drew Johnson. "But
he tells other people how to live and he's not following his own rules."

Scoffed a former Gore adviser in response: "I think what you're seeing here
is the last gasp of the global warming skeptics. They've completely lost the
debate on the issue so now they're just attacking their most effective
opponent."

Kalee Kreider, a spokesperson for the Gores, did not dispute the Center's
figures, taken as they were from public records. But she pointed out that
both Al and Tipper Gore work out of their home and she argued that "the
bottom line is that every family has a different carbon footprint. And what
Vice President Gore has asked is for families to calculate that footprint
and take steps to reduce and offset it."

A carbon footprint is a calculation of the CO2 fossil fuel emissions each
person is responsible for, either directly because of his or her
transportation and energy consumption or indirectly because of the
manufacture and eventual breakdown of products he or she uses. (You can
calculate your own carbon footprint on the website
http://www.carbonfootprint.com/)

The vice president has done that, Kreider argues, and the family tries to
offset that carbon footprint by purchasing their power through the local
Green Power Switch program - electricity generated through renewable
resources such as solar, wind, and methane gas, which create less waste and
pollution. "In addition, they are in the midst of installing solar panels on
their home, which will enable them to use less power," Kreider added. "They
also use compact fluorescent bulbs and other energy efficiency measures and
then they purchase offsets for their carbon emissions to bring their carbon
footprint down to zero."



As usual you're full of ****!
LOL

And all this proves is even Al Gore has a lot to do to clean up his
act. He has a partial excuse that he has not even been in his
mansion. He has been spending every waking moment looking after the
planet as a whole.

It was a wise use of time. Had he focused say 20% of his time on
fixing up his mansion he would have had far less impact on the much
much bigger impact of global warming of the planet.

Unfortunately, folks such as you focus on the trivial and ignore the
big picture.
