It would be interesting to see how Al Gore’s house stacks up to other similar houses in terms of energy use.
I believe that Al Gore lives in his old family home. What would you expect him to do? Raze the house and turn the land into a park, then move to a small apartment? Would it not be an even greater waste of resources to destroy what’s already built?
I don’t think that an environmentalist should never drive an SUV or live in a big house. Just like I don’t believe that one who fights hunger should starve himself or deny himself delicious dishes.
The Pope lives in gilded luxury at the Vatican and travels on private jet. Is his message of humility, piety, modesty and charity any less powerful because he doesn’t live in a hut?
