Look if you want to make a legitimate and constructive argument against his hypocrisy, there needs to be more than just a big energy bill. Energy usage skyrockets as the size of an edifice increases, so it shouldn't be a surprise that he has a big energy bill. My church has a higher energy bill than Gore's house and it is a smaller building. The way to analyze this and create a constructive argument against his energy use would be to find the ratio of kilowatt hours used to the square-footage of his house; to see if he uses energy-efficient applicances, insulation, etc. and to compare those figures with similar-size homes. Until then, this "discovery" is basically meaningless.

Here is an analysis. My 12 roommates and I occupy a house that is a fraction of Al Gore's mansion. Our energy bills each month total roughly 150 Dollars. Lets say that Al Gore's family is your basic family of four. That means each family member spends roughly 500 to 700 dollars a month powering their house compared to our 14 to 15 dollars a person.

Comparing square footage in mansions? Did you read the article? His small family burns more energy in a month than most do in an ENTRIE YEAR. What we should do is compare the amount of persons living in a home and their individual energy usage. If Al Gore had 150 people living in house then yes, this "discovery" would be meaningless. Since he does not, I find it pretty hypocritical.

My point is that no matter how he lives, it doesn't make his argument any more or less true (ie: tu quoque fallacy). You can't attack one's position by attacking them because the position does not equal the person.

While a nice idea in principle, it is not a strong statistical measurement. The amount of electricity used in a building is more dependent on the size of the building than the number of inhabitants.

Based on what senatorlamb has said, he isn't adding to the cause. We had assumed that his energy use was standard and not focused on limiting carbon emissions, which makes a huge difference. So now all that we've established here is that he spends a fuckload of money on being energy efficient, which makes this article pointless.

GORE RESPONDS (http:/http://thinkprogress.org/2007/02/26/gore-responds-to-drudge), HEY-O!

Gore Responds To Drudge’s Latest Hysterics

The right-wing is angry that Al Gore has won so much public attention and goodwill for his work on global warming. Determined to smear his efforts, Drudge writes in a screaming headline:
http://thinkprogress.org/wp-content/uploads/2007/02/gore21.JPG

Responding to Drudge’s attack, Vice President Gore’s office told ThinkProgress:
1) Gore’s family has taken numerous steps to reduce the carbon footprint of their private residence, including signing up for 100 percent green power through Green Power Switch (http://www.tva.gov/greenpowerswitch/), installing solar panels, and using compact fluorescent bulbs and other energy saving technology.
2) Gore has had a consistent position of purchasing carbon offsets to offset the family’s carbon footprint — a concept the right-wing fails to understand (http://thinkprogress.org/2007/02/18/hannity-pathetic/). Gore’s office explains:
What Mr. Gore has asked is that every family calculate their carbon footprint (http://www.climatecrisis.net/takeaction/carboncalculator/) and try to reduce it as much as possible. Once they have done so, he then advocates that they purchase offsets, as the Gore’s do, to bring their footprint down to zero.
It’s the latest in a series of desperate attacks by Drudge to paint Gore as a hypocrite. Some other examples:
http://thinkprogress.org/wp-content/uploads/2007/02/gore4.JPG (http://thinkprogress.org/2006/11/27/drudge-gore-global-warming/)

http://thinkprogress.org/wp-content/uploads/2007/02/gore1.JPG

These are the lengths that climate skeptics must go to suppress action on global warming. There is no meaningful debate within the scientific community, so the right-wing busies itself with talk about how much electricity Al Gore’s house uses — and even then they distort the truth.

Considering how Gore has been instrumental in bringing public attention to Global Warming, a growing threat that endangers our very existance, I don't see why he qualifies as a douche.

I'd like to know who your other 4 douches of America are. Michael Jordan? Tiger Woods? Oprah?

Id like to see opinion polls to back up that claim. Gore hasnt done anything but make people who already care about it, care about it more. I cant say I know anyone who has suddenly said "you know, that global warming thing is a pretty big deal, maybe I should do something about it.

Thanks to Al Gore: global warming is now a major issue constantly talked about in the news, has become apart of the regular vernacular of Americans, forced President Bush to allude to it in his State of the Union, and has it made it a major focus of the 08 presidential campaign. Al Gore is doing something positive not only for America, but for the world. This isn't some wacky environmental theory. It is scientific proof agreed upon by 99% of the the legitimate scientific community. The only reason I emphasize "legitimate" is because little study groups and organizations spring up to cast doubt on global warming, only to be later learned that they have ties to the oil and gas lobby. Its a strategy right out of the cigarette company's handbook when they used to run ads bragging about how their cigarette is approved by 9 out of 10 doctors. Yet, when history is written, doubters and opponents of solving the global warming crisis will have been shown to be fools.

This should end it.

DailyKos (http://www.dailykos.com/storyonly/2007/2/27/164154/282):
Vice President Gore's office also wanted everyone to know:


100 percent of the power the Gores use in their home (and in all their homes though I wouldn't bring this up) is green power.


Both the Vice President and Mrs Gore have home offices and conduct business at the house so obviously they use more power than someone who is just a homeowner


The Gores drive a hybrid, use compact fluorescents, et cetera


And the Gores live a carbon neutral life which means that for every ton of carbon they emit, they also purchase offsets.

No, they are black and that would be racism.

Ps. Global Warming doesn't exist. Nor will.

where exactly did you learn that fact? You are 20 correct? Where do you go to school?

Actually, that's not true. I'm one of those people. I care about global warming now more than I have before. Maybe that has something to do with age, but I know it's because I've learned more about it in the recent year(s).

You live in Arizona. If you read t he Arizona Republic (a conservative paper) they have printed articles throughout the past year highlighting Global Warming and its effects as well as its higher visibility following the release of "An Inconvenient Truth."

They only printed about 15 letters to the editor regarding Global Warming and how people have swapped in their old car for a hybrid or how people have began donating to the fund to save Arizona's local environment.

There we go folks. That settles it. NOR WILL. THANKS. After that bit of startling info could you go ahead and pass in whatever documentation proves YOU an authority on global warming, cancelling out the educated opinion of over 98% of the worldwide scientific community?

(PS you dont have any and sorry to break it to you but it exists. Now. and will get worse.)

Practicing what you preach is very important. I realize that every fucks up, including me, a lot. However Gore is preaching at a national level. For anyone to take him seriously he should lead by example. His mansion isnt doing anything for climate change. If anything, it is adding to the cause.

exactly, good to see someone who gets it.

Right, because no one else thinks that, just the two of you.
