energy hog gore - democrat hypocrisy on conspicuous display
“The average household in America consumes 10,656 kilowatt-hours (kWh) per
year, according to the Department of Energy. In 2006, Gore devoured nearly
221,000 kWh- more than 20 times the national average.”
This is just one of four ‘homes’ allegedly owned by Al Gore. Then, of course,
there is his jet and limo lifestyle. Keep in mind that this is being compared to average consumption in a wealthy and profligate economy, therefore half the population will be using less and often much less than a twentieth of Gore’s consumption.
The Democrat shills claim that he is correcting the situation by ‘offsetting’.
Of course that is a ‘market’ that is increasingly being outed as ‘greenwashing’.
The supposed ‘offsets’ are mostly innumerate con games, recently caricatured
as the modern equivalent of the medieval selling of ‘indulgences’.
While this news reflects badly on Gore’s integrity, it does not,
of course, have any bearing whatsoever on anthropogenic global warming.
By contrast, here is Al Gore on the integrity of the fossil media
“Back in Tennessee on Tuesday, Gore told a crowd of about 50 people at
the U.S. Media Ethics Summit II that the presentation's single most provocative slide was one
that contrasts results of two long-term studies. A 10-year University of California study found that
essentially zero percent of peer-reviewed scientific journal articles
disagreed that global warming exists, whereas, another study found
that 53 percent of mainstream newspaper articles disagreed the global
warming premise".”
And here’s the Crawford ranch of that awful, hippy-hating, oil industry tool, George W. Bush:
“The 4,000-square-foot house is a model of environmental rectitude.
“Geothermal heat pumps located in a central closet circulate water through pipes buried 300 feet deep in the ground where the temperature is a constant 67 degrees; the water heats the house in the winter and cools it in the summer. Systems such as the one in this "eco-friendly" dwelling use about 25% of the electricity that traditional heating and cooling systems utilize.
“A 25,000-gallon underground cistern collects rainwater gathered from roof runs; wastewater from sinks, toilets and showers goes into underground purifying tanks and is also funneled into the cistern. The water from the cistern is used to irrigate the landscaping surrounding the four-bedroom home. Plants and flowers native to the high prairie area blend the structure into the surrounding ecosystem.”
Not only is George Bush’s house exceptionally energy efficient, Bush’s house is under half the size of Al Gore’s 10,000 square foot pad.
