Default Global Warming/Climate Change (was contrails)


More to the point, he has earned tens of millions with his books, movie,
and clean energy investments, and all this money is put into the
nonprofit Alliance for Climate Protection to fight climate change.


*All* the money? *That is impressive. *One might wonder how he pays
his bills.

Just for the sake of accuracy he
The home that the Gores live in (both their home and their offices)
was handed down in the family. Al Gore's father was a senator from TN
for many many years. That is the home where Al Gore grew up. Belle
Meade is a very exclusive enclave suburb outside of Nashville. Al
Gore spent more than the house cost in order to change what he could
to make it more energy efficient. (some failed experiments as well,
like the heated water pipes in the flooring) - solar heating in the
pool house. Also, Al Gore established a new electrical cooperative in
the area. The new cooperative he started purchases alternative energy
to produce electricity. when this was started years ago, few of the
other Nashville residents would purchase electricity from this
cooperative. Al Gore's family spent years spending twice as much as
any other home owner in the area for electricity, because he insisted
on using alternative fuel sources for his electricity. In recent
years, the cost has become more reasonable as more people have joined
the cooperative.
Back to climate control, but until you can make changes to lessen your
carbon footprint and be accurate about the reporting of it....leave
the Gore family out of it. (whether you are democrat or republican, or
green, or independent)
