Said no such thing.. find where I said that.. it is you sir, who are quoting out of context. If you had bothered to check the link, you would have found that the person kept the original house, and built the solar array near the house. He also went way overboard. Kenneth Adelman generates more than 45kWh per day, Gore only needs to do half of that per month. There are simple rooftop installations that can cut ones usage down significantly!!

and yet you use that guy as the standard of measure. even building out half the capacity is a tremendous effort, certainly one not out of question for a man of wealth, but a tremedous effort all the same. (what is gore worth? 500 mil? 500 mil is an awful lot.) still, you don’t even know if it’s even feasible given the location; tenn’s sunlight days compared to california? weather conditions such as tornados, hail, wind?

and how do you know that he’s not buying his electricity from mr solarwarrior? offset accounts are bullshit to you, but if the end result is the same, what’s the big deal? i suppose you expect proponents of conservation have to produce all of their own food and energy before they get to have a voice. again, how magnanimous of you.

and for a guy who said this:

“I am bothered that the ‘debate’ here is on the two websites as opposed to the underlying references. If the underlying references are used, then the quality of the discussion improves because we are dealing direct with research papers (though it is harder and slower to do).”

i find it ever increasingly hard to take what you say as being sincere.
