because he has large houses he isn't "green"?
and because there is no "record" of him using "wind energy" he doesn't?
i dont think that what people pay for utilities is public record.... the article doesn't even state that he DOESN'T use wind energy it just states there is no proof that he DOESNT
sounds like some republican jargon

If it's true, it does irritate me that people don't do what they talk about. Gore speaks of population control, yet he has 4 kids. Maybe he does have these two houses, and yes, 14,000sq feet of combined living space does sound quite excessive. My parents raised two kids in a house with a total of 2,000sq feet - one floor and a basement. I don't think I'm scarred for life as a result.
While I do applaud his efforts to get people on the right track to keep humanity from screwing itself over by wrecking what amounts to our habitat, it'd be nice if he'd take his own advice.

Dubya spouts off about needing to wean ourselves off foreign oil, but wastes vast sums of jet fuel and regular fuel just doing his job. As do many politicians. So what?
I wonder when that 40 years starts.
In the mid30s he was a radio sportscaster . . . fighting those Commies.
He spent the next 30 years making over 50 movies . . . fighting those Commies. According to Warner Bros only Errol Flynn got more fan mail . . . keeping those Commies busy writing.
During WWII, he narrated training films for the military. What a hero.
After the war, he worked the nightclub circuit. I guess Commies only come out at night.
He divorced Jane Wyman in 1948 . . . I guess she was a Commie. Nevermind she dumped him.
His most significant achievement in the 1960s was having the Guard fire on hippies in Berkeley.
Does it matter? Even if Gore isn't as green as he leads people to believe, does it really matter? What is the point of this thread anyways? Because Gore doesn't do what he says everybody else should do, does that mean that ALL of us don't have to do what he says? Or, shouldn't do what he says? I agree that it's hypocritical of him, however, the point is relatively moot in this matter.

If it weren't for the fact that the guy who wrote the article thinks GW sh1ts gold, I might wonder. But the simple fact of the matter is, there are absolutely no records kept, in any state that I'm aware of, as to who has solar and/or wind power at their house. I can guarantee you people that Al Gore has been a politician long enough to realize that even if he didn't believe it, he would have alternative energy installed at at least his primary residence, before he even started filming this movie.
You don't have to pay more for your electricity to be able to use solar/wind power, you can have the local electric company send you a check every month, for the electricity you put back into the grid over and above what you've used.

If the care for the Vice President's Mansion is any indication of how Al Gore treats the environment
I would bet that his 'other' homes are done as well and incorporate much 'green friendly' conveeniences.
The Vice President's Residence at the Naval Observatory
This is now the housing project for the Cheney creature, and it would not supprise me if all the trees
have been chopped down for firewood, to allow access to heavy equipment for strip mining.

I never read any such article. This is about the movie, not the 08 election.
For the record, I haven't done anything for global warming Harvey, as I don't give a sh!t.

Uh no... Lieberman's loss sent a clear message that the new internet blogger-based Democratic party will not tolerate any deviance from their extremist party agenda. In other words, the Democratic centrists just got booted from the party.
As to the war, I'm a pacifist who was strongly against it while most of the so-called Democrats here still believed in the WMDs. The ONLY reason we're there is so that the defense industry has jobs. That's what it's all about. Haven't you people figured that out yet?

Right, and in typical Democrat fashion..
"WE MUST CHANGE!! WE'LL ALL DIE IF WE DONT!! *whisper* I mean....YOU all must change, but I will continue on"
Typical Democratic bullsh1t. Everyone ELSE needs to make sacrafices and make changes, but *I* dont have to, only you.
I'm sorry, but if your trying to be the champion of the cause it looks pretty frickin bad to not adopt the changes you call for.
It would be like me being anti-gun.
Al Gore made a movie about being green?
No.
Again you defend your boys by pointing to other politicians.

Wow, you even found a quote that didn't back up your point and conflicts with your OP, grats!
Yes, he wants government to pressure corporations via regulations. Did he say live in a small house and sell your cars? He has done more to help global warming by spreading the message than 10,000 individuals who go 100% green. He has pushed the global warming discussion into the mainstream and soon back into politics, that was his goal.
Have you seen the movie? I have.
His purpose is to draw attention to the subject, he isn't mandating from on high that we all start riding our bicycles 20 miles to work and making our own electricity through a human hamster wheel. He wants to crack down on the big polluters who are the major cause of this problem.
He said to "dramatically cut back on consumption". Going from 14000 sq ft to 3000 might do a decent job at that. How much does it cost to heat those homes?
Oh, and guess who owns hundreds of thousands of dollars of stock in those corporations and profits off non-greenery?
