Bush%26#039;s Texas ranch more environmentally friendly than Gore%26#039;s Mansion? It bothered me that Al Gore drove a full-sized Cadillac when he filmed An Inconvenient Truth a couple of years ago, but it really bothers me that his mansion uses more than 20 times the energy that a typical American home. Snopes.com goes as far as stating that President Bush%26#039;s ranch is more environmentally friendly (http://www.snopes.com/politics/business/... Looking past the Cadillac in the film, and the insane amount of fuel he burns while using his private jet, do you find it ubsurd that he uses our precious rescources the way that he does?

***Please no Bush bashing comments please, I%26#039;m curious about Gore, not the president. Thanks***

Certainly I wish he would set a better example by having a smaller carbon footprint, but frankly I don%26#039;t particularly care about Al Gore%26#039;s lifestyle. I take responsibility for my own actions without needing to compare them to other people%26#039;s.

Yes it does seem hypocritical. What about the people who come on here and tell us it is not their job to tell Gore what to do. They came on YA to tell all of us what to do, though. Why is Gore off limits, but everyone else is free game? I could accept the Gore thing, if they would also leave me alone.

Precisely why his whole campaign is ripe garbage.
Let%26#039;s all follow his lead and live his extravagant, wasteful, carbon rich lifestyle. The snake oil king (Nobel laureate)

I%26#039;ve heard the same things.

Neither one of those two occupies a big space in my consciousness. To 7/8ths of humanity this is just local politics.

The home gore bought was energy ineffecient. Solar panels have been added since.
