The call is for different technology, not an appeal for an ascetic lifestyle.

You don't "call" for different technology. You invent different technology and you use different technology. What you do call for is fear, or power. And that's why I don't trust Al Gore any farther than I can throw him using the renewable energy in my own body.

If you don't have the technical know how, you ask those who do. A "call."

Hehe...I don't hear Al Gore telling anyone what they should do. I hear Al Gore telling people what they shouldn't do.

Those with the technical "know how" don't need Al Gore or his blathering. They're already hard at work:

tell us, mrs. green-living expert, what should Al be doing....?

anyway, perhaps you should practice what you preach...on one hand you bitch about how gore is living, then go on to say "I have no problem with Al using as the oil he can. It's his house. It's his power."...


hypocrite...

My God Corky. Re-read the post. Process it. Then understand why I have no problem with the way he's currently living and have every problem with his rhetoric.

No, it's pretty much the same. Practice what you preach, dude.

So if I sign up later today, I'm still right about Al Gore?

See that lightbulb beside my post? It's incandescent.

How can Gore tell American families to "reduce their carbon emissions as much as possible" while he hasn't done that himself? Are you telling me that Al Gore simply cannot consume less than 221,000 kWh of energy? Simply handing money over to green groups doesn't absolve yourself of the original actions.

simple really, because even he doesn't believe all the BS he is shoveling. there are alot of eco nuts looking for a leader, people who choose environmentalism as their religion. and he was looking for someone to lead. a match made in heaven, don't you think?

The spin/smear campaign is on. As soon as Al gets some momentum going, BAM ! The right comes out with both barrels blazing. Is it true? Probably.

I am guessing he is also doing things to make up for it along the way. Just as Pearl Jam uses jets,buses,vans, and mega watts of electricity, they also do things to neutralize their consumption. I am guessing Gore uses some sort of "Carbon Portfolio Strategy" as well.

Let's give him a chance to respond. I don't think it is surprising to him that having many large energy consuming homes is somewhat hypocritical to his crusade. I am sure he is prepared for this day.

Oh, I'm not disputing that. But my question is: Is there any way for a wealthy rockstar or politician or actor or anyone to be 'green' while owning a large home? For example, what should have he done to avoid fuel consumption during his travels?

I was told in a prior thread that Al Gore was the leading voice in climatology because he had listened to several lectures by one of the leading climatologist in the world.

That being the case, I'm almost certain he should know what he needs to do to satisfy his own 'green' requirements.

Baraka posted his response above. If that's "prepared", Al Gore is dumber than I thought.

lol 32?

Well I'm convinced. I've got my protest idea all ready. Tonight, I dine on cabbage, bran, and jalapenoes. Tomorrow, I run bottomless from my apartment, squat on the neutral ground, and drop a huge, molten deuce while shaking my fist in the air screaming " 'cause Al Gore owns a mansion!!"

hmmm...the old "if you support it, you must do it" argument...

funny, when I use this argument in discussions about the war and telling others if they support it they should sign up, for some reason it doesn't fly....

as for Al, I would think those who support big business and big oil would be happy that Al is using these resources...

I just think many are blinded by hatred when it comes to Al...

Or maybe many are blinded by hatred for those who support the war, but don't actually serve in the military…???

I agree with both of you.

When we have a mass collective humanity 'generating' the idea that a new technology is necessary, we will open ourselves to the mindsets that will ultimately create and support the new technology.

I happen to be shopping for a new car. I was looking at a Honda Civic Hybrid. But this invalidates everything. I am now leaning toward a Ford Expedition.

The Civic Hybrid kicks ass. A fried of mine just got one. Very nice machine.

Unless of course you exchange that idea for another one that says technology is the cause of your problems. And then you get something very different.
