[Vision2020] Gore's Electricity Use Criticized

[Sue Hovey]

"I also makes large investments......"  And that's a direct quote?  This
from the articulate man who got elected, not the one currently sitting in 
the White
House?  I don't think so.

> (2007-02-28) — Oscar-winning filmmaker Al Gore today expanded his call
> for Americans to reduce their output of greenhouse gases — the
> so-called carbon-footprint — adding a demand to cut the rate of
> adult-onset obesity, which he termed “your gluteal fatprint.”
>
> Speaking to fellow Oscar winners who flew in to Nashville last night
> for a banquet at his 10,000 square-foot residence, Mr. Gore explained
> that Americans burn too much carbon-rich fuel, and eat too much fatty
> food.
>
> While conservative groups have attacked Mr. Gore’s “hypocrisy” on the
> global-warming issue, since his Tennessee home burns 15 times the
> electricity of the average home and he often flies on corporate jets,
> Mr. Gore maintains that he lives a “carbon-neutral” lifestyle because
> he also invests in solar and wind energy projects to counterbalance his
> own substantial carbon-footprint.
>
> “Many people don’t realize that I also live a fat-neutral lifestyle,”
> Mr. Gore said. “While the inconvenient truth is that I’ve gained a few
> pounds since I beat George Bush at the polls in 2000, I also makes
> large investments in companies that produce bran, sprouts and legumes,
> thereby reducing my “real feel” weight to around 175.”
