I am no Gore supporter, but what would you have him do? Go live in a cardboard box on the street. You criticize his energy usage but how much energy do you waste on a given day. Could you or I downsize? Besides Lentinman who lives in an icebox, how much do the rest of us waste?
Did Gore just go out and buy this grand sized house? I could cut the size of my house by 75% and still be ok, of course the kids would drive me to kill myself... but that is the price I would pay.
Most people in the USA waste tons of energy, food, water, etc. The Gore film is getting a generation of people thinking about the problem. These are people who did not pay attention before. Maybe he is a modern "Rachel Carson".
Every time I hear his name I think how much better off we might be if he had won in 2000.
Signatures are so yesterday!
