  • Almost there!!!!

    For those of you who didn't know, or who have heard something or another, I'm getting married!  And the day is almost here!  I'm counting the last 8 days until November 10, when I'll become a married man!  I'm super stoked and cannot wait any longer.

    The wedding is in Houston, Texas and then we are going to Orlando (by car) for a week before driving up to Vermont. 

    Hope everyone is well, and best wishes!

    Al Gore's Personal Energy Use Is His Own "Inconvenient Truth"
    Gore’s home uses more than 20 times the national average

    26 Feb 07, SOURCE

    Last night, Al Gore’s global-warming documentary, An Inconvenient Truth, collected an Oscar for best documentary feature, but the Tennessee Center for Policy Research has found that Gore deserves a gold statue for hypocrisy.
      
    Gore’s mansion, located in the posh Belle Meade area of Nashville, consumes more electricity every month than the average American household uses in an entire year, according to the Nashville Electric Service (NES).
     
    In his documentary, the former Vice President calls on Americans to conserve energy by reducing electricity consumption at home.
     
    The average household in America consumes 10,656 kilowatt-hours (kWh) per year, according to the Department of Energy. In 2006, Gore devoured nearly 221,000 kWh—more than 20 times the

    Since the release of An Inconvenient Truth, Gore’s energy consumption has increased from an average of 16,200 kWh per month in 2005, to 18,400 kWh per month in 2006.
     
    Gore’s extravagant energy use does not stop at his electric bill. Natural gas bills for Gore’s mansion and guest house averaged $1,080 per month last year.
     
    “As the spokesman of choice for the global warming movement, Al Gore has to be willing to walk the walk, not just talk the talk, when it comes to home energy use,” said Tennessee Center for Policy Research President Drew Johnson.
     
    In total, Gore paid nearly $30,000 in combined electricity and natural gas bills for his Nashville estate in 2006.

    BLOGGERS NOTE: Emphasis mine throughout.  If global warming really is such an issue as Gore pretends on stage, why does he not act like it?  Something smells funny...
