that is your opinion. but, as to the question at hand...what, if anything, do YOU know about what green power means in today's electricity market?
Gore helped found Generation Investment Management, through which he and others pay for offsets. The firm invests the money in solar, wind and other projects that reduce energy consumption around the globe, she said.
Johnson, whose group usually focuses on government spending issues, said he "doesn't differ much from Al Gore on his environmental concerns."
"We went into this just asking the question, 'Is the leader of the environmental movement basically living up to his word?' Given that he's a Tennessean, I thought it's a question we should ask."
What they found is someone whose home uses as much power in a month as an average family would use in a year, he said.
In addition to the electric bill, the natural gas bill for Gore's home and guesthouse ran $1,080 per month last year, Johnson said.
"For someone in his position not to take steps to reduce his own energy consumption is disingenuous," he said. "He's simply not taking all the steps he can take and should take as the leader of the environmental movement."
Rather than attacking one man — Gore — Johnson and his group should be taking a larger view and trying to make a difference to reduce global warming, Krider said.
That should include helping to get government and corporations, which are big energy users, on board to reduce energy and move to renewable resources, she said.
"They're trying to single out one person rather than look at the big picture," Krider said.

This reminds me of Al's lame "controlling legal authority" excuse or his weak bladder reason
