Al Gore has spoken: The world must embrace a “carbon-neutral lifestyle.”
Public records reveal that as Gore lectures Americans on excessive consumption, he and his wife Tipper live in two properties: a 10,000-square-foot, 20-room, eight-bathroom home in Nashville, and a 4,000-square-foot home in Arlington, Va. (He also has a third home in Carthage, Tenn.) For someone rallying the planet to pursue a path of extreme personal sacrifice, Gore requires little from himself. Then there is the troubling matter of his energy use. In the Washington, D.C., area, utility companies offer wind energy as an alternative to traditional energy. In Nashville, similar programs exist. Utility customers must simply pay a few extra pennies per kilowatt hour, and they can continue living their carbon-neutral lifestyles knowing that they are supporting wind energy.According to public records, there is no evidence that Gore has signed up to use green energy in either of his large residences. www.usatoday.com

Inquiring minds want to know.
If so… was Al smoking weed when he wrote an Inconvienent Truth?

Maybe Al Gore can post his sons bail money with his bogus carbon offsets.

I went fishing today and got stuck out in the lake on my johnboat, Tipper Gore. But since I don’t like to stand up in the boat for fear of tipping over, I decided to sit there for a while. But I found that no help had arrived, so I decided to abandon ship, and leave behind my beloved Tipper Gore and my Fishing rod, name Todd in order to save myself from not being able to come home and ask questions on yahoo answers. In the process of swimming to shore I encountered deranged fish who slapped me and people who are about as crazy as I am. Do you think my boat will wash ashore, and if not who do I call to return my stuff to me? You don’t think people would steal it do you? If so, can I claim my boat was stolen for insurance purposes? LOL.
A better question might be what was the point in you answering. If it was so stupid then why bother?

While Tipper was out trying to shut the music industry down with her censorship…young Al Gore the 3rd was getting stoned and selling drugs. That is the inconvienent truth.

This is a very interesting comparison….please read.

House 1:

The four-bedroom home was planned so that “every room has a relationship with something in the landscape that’s different from the room next door. Each of the rooms feels like a slightly different place.” The resulting single-story house is a paragon of environmental planning.

The passive-solar house is built of honey-colored native limestone and positioned to absorb winter sunlight, warming the interior walkways and walls of the 4,000-square-foot residence.

Geothermal heat pumps circulate water through pipes buried 300 feet deep in the ground. These waters pass through a heat exchange system that keeps the home warm in winter and cool in summer. A 25,000-gallon underground cistern collects rainwater gathered from roof urns; wastewater from sinks, toilets, and showers cascades into underground purifying tanks and is also funneled into the cistern. The water from the cistern is then used to irrigate the landscaping around the four-bedroom home, which uses indigenous grasses, shrubs, and flowers to complete the exterior treatment of the home.

In addition to its minimal environmental impact, the look and layout of the house reflect one of the paramount priorities: relaxation. A spacious 10-foot porch wraps completely around the residence and beckons the family outdoors. With few hallways to speak of, family and guests make their way from room to room either directly or by way of the porch. “The house doesn’t hold you in. Where the porch ends there is grass. There is no step-up at all.”

This house consumes 25% of the energy of an average American home.
(Source: Cowboys and Indians Magazine, Oct. 2002 and Chicago Tribune April 2001.)

House 2:

This 20-room, 8-bathroom house consumes more electricity every month than the average American household uses in an entire year. The average household in America consumes 10,656 kilowatt-hours (kWh) per year, according to the Department of Energy. In 2006, this house devoured nearly 221,000 kWh, more than 20 times the national average.

Last August alone, the house burned through 22,619 kWh, guzzling more than twice the electricity in one month than an average American family uses in an entire year. As a result of this energy consumption, the average monthly electric bill topped $1,359.

Also, natural gas bills for this house and guest house averaged $1,080 per month last year. In total, this house had nearly $30,000 in combined electricity and natural gas bills for 2006.

(Source: just about anywhere in the news last month online and on talk radio, but barely on TV.)

House 1 belongs to George and Laura Bush, and is in Crawford, Texas.

House 2 belongs to Al and Tipper Gore, and is in Nashville, Tennessee.
I do not think that one is better than the other. After watching Gore’s movie, yes I was motivated as a person to make my own changes in ways that I can.

The facts still remain, while Gore is making his house more friendly to the enviro, it does not mean that his house is totally solar powered, or uses all green enrg. Can he not down size…

While it would be nice for Bush to push for more envionmentally friendly legislation, why do we not take it upon ourselves to make the change and the difference.

Do we have to have the goverenment, tell us what to do? Can we not act on our own accord to make things right.

I know that she is a Democrat, but she has supported labeling music with parental warnings. I have heard that liberals and conservatives have verbally attacked her.

Remember the last time the Dems were in power, Al Gore and his wife Tipper, wanted to control the music you listened to- Frank Zappa, Synder etc all testified in Congress. Someone said Synder put Tipper in her place. I’m dying to know what he said.
Thanks - you guys are the best.
