Gore still guzzling energy like a maniac
July 2, 2008
We really are for people using as much energy as they need. Afterall, it’s a free country. But what about if that person is someone who is preaching conservation? Isn’t that a little hypocritical? It’s like saying, “You conserve your energy so I have more to use.” Though this story is only slightly related to the gasoline crisis, it does point to some of the people who are part of the problem, not part of the solution.
Al Gore [clueless] has been one of the leading faces on the man-made global warming crisis telling us to conserve and save the planet. But what is he doing? Newsmax broke this story today:
Former Vice President Al Gore is warning you and every other American we must drastically change our lifestyles and reduce our energy consumption. But Gore continues to fly private jets wasting thousands of gallons of carbon fuels — and a recent study of his home energy use found that Gore’s Tennessee home burned through 213,210 kilowatt-hours (kWh) of electricity, enough to power 232 average American households for a month.

Like we said, if people want to use energy and pay for it, that’s their business. But when they tell us we are using too much, and we need to cut down because we are heating the planet, and then continue to ignore their own warnings and use limitless amounts of energy, something needs to be said. It is hypocritical. My guess is he’s covering himself by purchasing carbon credits. But as most intelligent people can figure out, those are a scam. NewsBusters eloguently explains it.
