I did find it funny that Al Gore did not participate in this. http://www.worldnetdaily.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=93315

Isn't his house powered by geothermal power and solar energy?

I wonder if that is enough to power his whole mansion.

If one has the address one can find the average electric bill on line.

Apparently 100% of his power comes from renewable sources.

Source?

Not really, according to a spokesman of his:

A spokeswoman for Gore said the former vice president invests in enough renewable energy to make up for the home's power consumption. The spokeswoman said Gore purchases enough "green power" — renewable energy sources such as solar, wind and methane gas — to balance 100 percent of his electricity costs.

Gore participates in a utility program that sells blocks of "green power" for an extra $4 a month. Gore purchases 108 such blocks every month, covering 16,200 kilowatt-hours and helping subsidize renewable energy sources.

So in a way he is paying his way out of it. Guess it makes him feel better.

He pays someone to produce power through renewable fuel equal to the amount of power used to run his house and then that is added to the grid.

What else is he supposed to do? Build a dam on his lawn?

@zodiac:

i'm not stating any opinion of myself, but since you wondered:

they call it climate change now because parts of the earth won't exactly warm but disastrously cool down, i guess

He is doing what he's supposed to do. Using renewable power sources.
