Now you know why I don’t post much when comments get to this stage.. too much name calling (on both sides of the camp).
That Gore is using green power from a power company, that needs to be checked. Looking at his bill, I would say that he is not because the charges are too low per kilowatt ($1359/18414 = $0.0738/kWh). Check your SDG&E bill and see what you pay per kWh (sum it up w/ all the charges)..
That he is using solar power, considering the bill, I would find that highly unlikely. The link to solarwarrior I posted earlier, shows his net use and the solar array he is using. ‘Solarwarrior’ is a net generator (puts more into the grid than he takes out). That guy is also considered rich (Net worth in excess of $500Mil when I last looked).
I don’t see why Gore, who is holding himself up as an example to follow, is not really walking the walk. The ‘offset’ accounts is a lot of bull crap(where is the money going in the end?? financing Gore’s push on AGW?). (I am not pointing to the anti-AGW crowd because they don’t believe it.. so why should they be expected to act as if they do?) On the other hand, Gore is very strong proponent of AGW, so why can’t he conduct himself accordingly? There are others with fewer resources that have done considerably better than he (most power supplied directly by renewable means). Seems pretty hypocritical to me.
