Gore isn't quite as green as he's led the world to believe

Al Gore has spoken: The world must embrace a "carbon-neutral lifestyle." To do otherwise, he says, will result in a cataclysmic catastrophe. "Humanity is sitting on a ticking time bomb," warns the website for his film, An Inconvenient Truth. "We have just 10 years to avert a major catastrophe that could send our entire planet into a tailspin."
Graciously, Gore tells consumers how to change their lives to curb their carbon-gobbling ways: Switch to compact fluorescent light bulbs, use a clothesline, drive a hybrid, use renewable energy, dramatically cut back on consumption. Better still, responsible global citizens can follow Gore's example, because, as he readily points out in his speeches, he lives a "carbon-neutral lifestyle." But if Al Gore is the world's role model for ecology, the planet is doomed.
For someone who says the sky is falling, he does very little. He says he recycles and drives a hybrid. And he claims he uses renewable energy credits to offset the pollution he produces when using a private jet to promote his film. (In reality, Paramount Classics, the film's distributor, pays this.)
Public records reveal that as Gore lectures Americans on excessive consumption, he and his wife Tipper live in two properties: a 10,000-square-foot, 20-room, eight-bathroom home in Nashville, and a 4,000-square-foot home in Arlington, Va. (He also has a third home in Carthage, Tenn.) For someone rallying the planet to pursue a path of extreme personal sacrifice, Gore requires little from himself.
Then there is the troubling matter of his energy use. In the Washington, D.C., area, utility companies offer wind energy as an alternative to traditional energy. In Nashville, similar programs exist. Utility customers must simply pay a few extra pennies per kilowatt hour, and they can continue living their carbon-neutral lifestyles knowing that they are supporting wind energy. Plenty of businesses and institutions have signed up. Even the Bush administration is using green energy for some federal office buildings, as are thousands of area residents.
But according to public records, there is no evidence that Gore has signed up to use green energy in either of his large residences. When contacted Wednesday, Gore's office confirmed as much but said the Gores were looking into making the switch at both homes. Talk about inconvenient truths.
Gore is not alone. Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean has said, "Global warming is happening, and it threatens our very existence." The DNC website applauds the fact that Gore has "tried to move people to act." Yet, astoundingly, Gore's persuasive powers have failed to convince his own party: The DNC has not signed up to pay an additional two pennies a kilowatt hour to go green. For that matter, neither has the Republican National Committee.
Maybe our very existence isn't threatened.
Gore has held these apocalyptic views about the environment for some time. So why, then, didn't Gore dump his family's large stock holdings in Occidental (Oxy) Petroleum? As executor of his family's trust, over the years Gore has controlled hundreds of thousands of dollars in Oxy stock. Oxy has been mired in controversy over oil drilling in ecologically sensitive areas.
Living carbon-neutral apparently doesn't mean living oil-stock free. Nor does it necessarily mean giving up a mining royalty either.
Humanity might be "sitting on a ticking time bomb," but Gore's home in Carthage is sitting on a zinc mine. Gore receives $20,000 a year in royalties from Pasminco Zinc, which operates a zinc concession on his property. Tennessee has cited the company for adding large quantities of barium, iron and zinc to the nearby Caney Fork River.
The issue here is not simply Gore's hypocrisy; it's a question of credibility. If he genuinely believes the apocalyptic vision he has put forth and calls for radical changes in the way other people live, why hasn't he made any radical change in his life? Giving up the zinc mine or one of his homes is not asking much, given that he wants the rest of us to radically change our lives.

You need to put a link down from where this came from.
This is a swift boating type of expose just like they did to John Kerry.
On a different site is a great response to this step by step, unfortunately, that site does not allow me on this computer to cut and paste, so I cannot bring it over. (I cannot even cut and paste a link).
(this is not your fault frenchy, it is a very good smear attempt)
The estate they have in Carthage, by the way, has been in the family for fifty years.

That's it!
I guess my question would be...Is this fact or fiction? USA Today isn't exactly an off the wall blog site.
Again- the family has lived on the estate for decades...it is where he grew up.
It has memories in it.
Why should the entire family be forced out (This is not only Al you are talking about, but many others too.) Al Gore's father, the now deceased Senator Al Gore, he lived into his 90s and died not too long ago...are they saying they should have kicked a 90 year old man off his property?
And from what I know, the California place is a recent addition.
Also-Al has been very, very open on his families past on a working tobacco farm, and where they live.
As the article says- I don't see anyone on either side moving, so what is this article trying to say anyhow, but smears?
I would have no idea what my home was built over. Most of New Jersey was a swamp at some point in the past, and alot of bad stuff is under ground.
So the home owner is to blame for that?
That is a new smear by republican swift-boaters- blame home owners for what was in the ground or area hundreds of years ago.
Now, for someone who's family is in the millions, have hundred of thousands of dollars of shares, is actually just a piddling amount. At the most that is about 25,000 shares. (figure at 30 bucks a pop)...probably its more like 8000 or 5000 shares (5000 at 40 each is 200,000).
At the end of the day, that is not much stock, is it?
As for the change in eleectric bill....that is something that probably was announced by a little line in your monthly envelope...as Al has been away most of the last couple of years doing what he has been doing, probably an accountant pays the bill and did not even notice the small print.
Wow.
Bush kills hundreds of thousands of people, Al didn't notice a change in their electric bill.
But who has changed? They would need to write this out for every person in America. I for one never heard of it.
Do they have this option in NJ? If they do, I wouldn't know. Maybe they need to
have a public ad campaign on it, so people know about it. I would think though,
the rich electric companies wouldn't want people to know, so its just in the small print (something a swift boater would know though).
Is this the best they could come up with? With all the rabid attack dogs both the Clintons and the Bushs and the Gas companies have?
As for how these people work-
An article like this was originally published in the normal swift boat places, a book is written, financed, then they get it out there.
And it moves to the op-ed pages by conservative writers (even USA today and the now rightwing NY Times have many conservative writers).
Then the sleeping press just passes things along, at the urging of either a Bush person or a Hillary person, so it gets passed down as important...that is how they work.

Well...It is an opinion piece...I was just looking for someone to refute the information.
read my re-edited answer in post #6. At the bottom.
This smear also neglects a fact that Al has learned about all these things from scientific experts and because of them has taken this.
The headline alone in this is a smear.
Which is what the oil companies want people to think. It is not about Al Gore.
He is only a messenger.
It is about a much bigger picture than that.
I am not a scientist, so I would just say, see the movie. See what the scientists say. It is not about one person.
It is about getting the major corporations to change their ways

Washington Gas Energy Services
May 2006 - The Clean Energy Partnership (CEP), a non-partisan, not-for-profit business group, has teamed with Washington Gas Energy Services (WGES) and Sterling Planet, Inc. to offer businesses a green power purchase option in Maryland's competitive retail electricity market. Through WGES, businesses can buy electricity with 50% or 100% wind energy content at rates below those for standard offer service. The product is supplied by Sterling Planet using renewable energy credits (RECs) sourced from wind projects located across the nation.

So this opened up in May...MAY- just 2 months ago.
and a customer has to install a turbine? What in the world is a turbine?A person is suppose to know how to do that?
during this time Al Gore has not been in Tenn. more than a day or two.
He has been on a constant promo tour for his movie.
As this is a brand new thing, funny how quick these guys pounced.
It would seem like this is a no-blame thing, but a complete SMEAR job.
At least Al Gore never voted to ban the first amendment like Evan Bayh recently did when he voted to ban flag burning.
And at least Al Gore never defiled a girl young enough to be his grand daughter like Bill Clinton did.
At least Al Gore served his time in Vietnam, unlike AWOL Bush and Cheney
At least Al Gore did NOT directly cause the California energy mess like Kenny Boy Lay and Dick Cheney did
At least Al Gore chartered 2 planes to get into New Orleans, while George Bush and Dick Cheney allowed ethnic cleansing worse than in Rwanda happen in New Orleans.
Talk about hypocrites.

Short of living in a cave, sewing new collars on shirts and saving used breadbags... is anyone really as green as they "should" be.
It's human nature to seek comfort; It's a constant battle that most people niegh I say nearly all people are not ready for.
That's why leadership from Government and business is so important in long term planning here. Incentives and dare I say it Taxes to prevent waste, promote new technologies.
Oh but screw conservation our current path is want much spend more... that's what drives the economy!
And there you have it

Gores' green commitment
The (USA Today) op-ed attacking former vice president Al Gore's environmental record was extremely misleading.
Former vice president Gore has worked to implement the recommendations from his movie and book, An Inconvenient Truth, and that includes his personal commitment to live a zero-carbon lifestyle.
He reduces the global-warming pollution for which he is responsible and then, each year, finances additional reductions elsewhere until his net impact on the global climate is reduced to zero.
He has long since switched to a hybrid car and was already in the process of adding solar photovoltaic units to his home before the commentary was published.
In addition, the Gores have donated 100% of all the profits from his movie and book to the fight against global-warming pollution.
The assertion by author Peter Schweizer that the Gores were swimming in Occidental stock is also off base. At Mr. Gore's request, all of his father's stock in Occidental (Oxy) Petroleum was sold almost six years ago as the estate was closed. So, although Mr. Gore has and will continue to call on his fellow Americans to do their part to combat global warming, he isn't asking of them what he isn't willing to do himself.
Rather than vilifying a person who is trying to make a difference, wouldn't it be more fruitful for Schweizer to join the effort to solve the climate crisis?

The Hoover Institution is widely known as a conservative think tank. George Schultz, Jeanne Kirkpatrick and Condi Rice have all taught or been Fellows there.
According to wikipedia:
QUOTE
The Hoover Institution on War, Revolution, and Peace is a public policy think tank and library founded by Herbert Hoover at Stanford University, his alma mater. Some of its fellows have connections to the Bush administration. The Institution was founded in 1919 and over time has amassed a huge archive of documentation related to President Hoover, World War I, and World War II, specifically focusing on the root causes of these wars.
The Hoover Institution is especially influential in the American neoconservative and libertarian movements. Since 2001, Hoover has published Policy Review.

The author of the article may be biased against government solutions to global warming, which Gore likely would advocate. Therefore, discrediting the messenger would be a good tactic.
However, if he is out to reveal hypocrites in public life, as the title of his book seems to indicate, then I definitely think he has a valid concern. But G4A posted the response from the Gore camp to the article.
