More Gore Hypocrisy

Jefferson · 03-22-2007, 08:20 AM

Once again, Al Gore proves what a liar he is by refusing to take the Personal Energy Ethics Pledge!

- It's okay for Al Gore to fly all over the country, burning up over 65,000 gallons of jet fuel, but it's NOT okay for YOU to do so.
- It's okay for Al Gore to use 20 times the normal amount of electricity and natural gas in his mansion, but it's NOT okay for you to do so.

And yet again, Al Gore Jr has proven that he's an environmental liar and hypocrite!

.: U.S. Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works :: Minority Page :.

So which of you Flaming Liberals here on DTT (the newest Internet Gay Chat Room) will be the first to step up to the plate and defend Gore? Who will be the first out of the chutes?

Is Gore a hypocrite? No. Gore is not saying that we should live joyless lives. He is not saying we shouldn’t have any of the good things in life. He is saying that we need to find a way to make the good things in life compatible with a healthy planet. If he uses a lot of energy in the constant pursuit of expounding his message, in work, and, yes, in enjoying the good life and then, through the purchase of green power and offsets, reduces the net impact of his life and life style, I say fine. I say he is doing exactly what he is asking others to do. He uses twenty times more energy than the average American, fine. Now if the average American would start doing one twentieth the amount of work he does everyday in pursuit of a cleaner, healthier, cooler world, then we would be getting somewhere.

I happen to agree with Jefferson and jaaaman here. . . Gore is definitely a hypocrite.

How so? Does he not attempt to limit his enviromental foot print given the cards he was dealt?

I haven't heard Gore say that people shouldn't use 65,000 gallons of jet fuel, nor that people shouldn't use 20 times more energy than the average household. Gore has, as far as I know, said that people should purhcase green power in place of normal power, and purchase carbon offsets to offset any emissions you are creating.

Was the 65,000 gallons of jet fuel he burned up GREEN fuel?
Is the 10x the normal amount of natural gas used per household GREEN natural gas?
