The AP DID contact AG's utility company and they DID prove the original story wrong. It wasn't 221,000 KWH/year. It was only 219,000...oops.
And AG buys green offsets, so there.
Never mind that he buys them from a company that HE OWNS. At which HE is the CEO and his Chief of staff is the President...oops.
It seems that The Gas Bag, Al Gore, is not only porking out at the dinner table, bulking up for the warm weather, but is porking out at the electrical meter as well while waving his stinky finger at us. At just his Nashville mansion he use as much electricity as 15 average Nashville homes. He is not sure how fast the meter is twirling at his DC mansion as he has been too busy burning up jet fuel, flying here and there, to take a look. I am sure the Boy means well though.
Look how he fucked up the "Internets"....What a clown for caring about his fellow man. A real hero would join the Carlye Group and make a ton of "buku dinero" selling death and destruction to a voracious militarized world. Or he could have become CEO of a Haliburton, which has benefited mankind since the LBJ days.
I wouldn't go so far as to label him an "asshole" as you did. He may be an asshole all right but I do know he is a hypocrite about energy and everything else he preaches about. Does being a pseudo-lib allow limitless hypocricy? Was Haliburton part of LBJ's (Lying Bastard Johnson's) Great Society?
That LBJ's political career was funded by a pre-cursor to Haliburton. Ironic that LBJ was owned by a "Haliburton" and lied us into a war(Vietnam).
And Cheney was CEO of Haliburton and also lied us into a war(Iraq).
Move along....nothing to see here.
When she was shooting off her fuckin' mouth about how calli people needed to hang their cloths outside to dry, while her Malibu-mansion was sucking down $10,000 of electricity PER MONTH!!
Oprah is another faux-green hag... her studio sucks down $64,000 per month!
THESE PEOPLE ARE BILLIONAIRES!! They could afford solar or any other form of onsite self-sustained renewable energy source, but they DON'T!!
They just expect all the "little people" to go without, live more responsible and make up the diffence as the "ubber-elites" lavash all things anto themselves!!
FUCK THESE PHONIES!! If they don't live it first themselves, then they should shut the fuck up about what others do!!! (I have the right to say that, considering I've put my money where my mouth is years before "green-living" was trendy!)
Vice President Gore's office also wanted everyone to know:
100 percent of the power the Gores use in their home (and in all their homes) is green power.
Both the Vice President and Mrs Gore have home offices and conduct business at the house so obviously they use more power than someone who is just a homeowner
The Gores drive a hybrid, use compact fluorescents, et cetera
And the Gores live a carbon neutral life which means that for every ton of carbon they emit, they also purchase offsets.
Do the Gores buy energy from the jolly green giant??
We have a utility co. scam in minnesota which lets a person pay 2% more on their electric bill and thus buy "green power"... which of course is a crock of shit, because exactly the same wires run to everyones home... there's now way to steer wind or solar power to some homes and not others over an inter-connected grid, but a fool [like Gore] is born every minute!
However "gas-bag Gore" is letting a precious evergy source go untapped! He could out-gas his opinions into a turbine-generator and power several homes! Too bad that the social-polution content of his speeches is so toxic, American's get a little bit stupider everytime Gore gives a speech or appears on TV!
"An Incoherent Truth" has caused irrepairabe brain damage to million's!!
He flys around in that private jet that causes more pollution. He's tearing up the ozone layer and such.
And that statement about him offsetting all his pollution is bogus! No way.
This global warming crap is a scam. The lefties just want to control everything. All the factors of production.
So you're saying jets cause pollution???? Or just jets of political figures you don't like?
...Gore's air travels don't trouble me as much as Hillary, Obama, or Nancy P.
That's where the REAL irreparable damage will be the fabric of America!
We as a nation can survive Gore, infact he might even "help" America refocus inward, but the other Dem offered candidates will bring us to ruin in one term!!
Also it turns hout Gore uses only green power in his Tennessee home and pays $4.00 per 150 kwh MORE for the energy.
That's why his bill is so high.
The Gore utility bill story is just another right wing lie.
Too bad you fell for it before checking the facts.
...For the same electricity that everyone else buys?? There is no such thing as "green power" available on the grid!!
This for-profit ruse is a shell-game that preys on weak minded technology-illiterates! (I see you've fallen for it too!)
That extra 4 dollars per x-amount of Kw used in a given period is EXTRA PROFIT! The power company gleens a percent of those dollars in sheer profit, then justifies the up-charge by using the rest to build some windmills! IT'S A SCAM!
All power from the energized grid is the same and travels on the same wires to all the same houses... In a practical sense, every house in America that has an electric meter screwed to the wall is getting the vast majority of it's electricity from coal, a smaller percent from natural gas, a tiny percent from wind, and an even smaller amount from methane fired turbines running on turkey-shit out-gassing! NOBODY drawing their power from the grid is getting a higher percent of "green electricity" than anyone else, they are just PAYING MORE for the same electricity that everyone else gets! FOOLS!
It's all a for-profit lie until those wires from the house to the grid are CUT!
(I not only checked the facts, I also understood the truth behind them... two-up on you!)
De-regulation.
I've often thought that utility should be Gov-owned or at least non-profit... Like roads...
(How "liberal" of me... Shhhh, don't let the word get out, lol!)
...and price-cap!
I guess my desire to see Electric and natural-gas become Gov-owned like Sewer and water make me a little bit "commie", lol!
But doesn't it just seem logical that a basic-need service would be better off as a non-profit...
But I can also think of 100,000 ways that the gov is involved in our lives in ways that's NONE OF THEIR FUCKING BUSINESS!! So, I guess I'm a little bit "libertarian" also, lol!
(Maybe I'm mormon?? "A little bit country, a little bit rock-n-roll"... hahaha!)
Never mind that the power company said no one ever contacted them about his bill, never mind what the charges on his bill really are for, never mind everything green he does, never mind shooting the messenger and ignoring the point (which I think a certain someone said was a liberal tactic recently), never mind that the power companies charge more for green because of the cost of production, harvesting and R&D on green power compared to normal electric...never mind any of that. Just Swiftboat him.
Oh, just can't wait for another election year.
The energy companies HAD to build windmills and solar-arrays ANYWAY, due to clean-air mandates, they NEED THEM to off set their polution statistic in their particals per Kilowatt ratio SO THEY CAN BUILD MORE COAL PLANTS!!! It's a card-game and you're falling for it! And the green-power buying fools are funding it!
Again I say, ALL ELECRTICITY IS THE SAME! And it all energizes the grid at it's various percentages, and all people get the same electrons to their houses, reguardless of if they "pay for" green power or not!
Why don't the energy company just build wind-farms the same way they build coal-plants?? With profit money! They NEED them to continue to build cheap-running coal, so why not just build them as any business builds infastructure that it NEEDS... PAY FOR IT WITH ALL THE FUCKING MONEY THEY RAPE THE PUBLIC FOR NOW!! Why further rape a few green-fools that fall for the scam! (Absolute crock of shit and it prooves how emotional our country thinks! WE ARE FUCKED!)
But anyone who buys into the "green power" bullshit must be both high and drunk!
Where's the special "green wires" that brings the special green electricity exclusively to the homes of those who sign up to pay a few extra cents per Kw to have the feel-good rights of claiming to be "green" while using mostly coal-generated power.... WHAT A RUSE!
Gore's "outward appearances" of carbon-neutrality are just that, a ruse to his cause... Just like green-power... a ruse to more profits and coal plants...
The AP DID contact AG's utility company and they DID prove the original story wrong. It wasn't 221,000 KWH/year. It was only 219,000...oops.
