You brought up the "majority" I was merely pointing out hat the majority is no all ways right.

The UCC is a real Christian org fully recognized by the US Government. Something you see as a a qualification for a marriage to be valid in your opinion.

Also it is about time the US Episcopal Church threw off the chains of Colonialism.

Here is a quote from TVA's website:

"How much does it cost? You can buy green power in 150-kilowatt-hour blocks (about 12 percent of a typical household's monthly energy use). Each block will add $4 to your monthly power bill. Green power cost more because the technology used to capture these renewable resources is more expensive than traditional power generation methods."

Nashville Electric Service

In other words, Gore pays extra for this power in order to fund the facilities used to produce it.

I call that walking the walk.

You don't understand how the electrical grid works.

ALL electricity comes from the same places. They don't run special electrical lines to Gores how, providing him with electricity that was produced with wind generators and solar power.

Couldn't he save energy by living someplace smaller? Who needs 20 rooms? Seriously... lets see him put his money where his mouth is...
