And Jsarno, you are confused about what we are discussing. This isn't about Gore reducing his home's dependence on fossil fuels - which means nothing more than the symbolic - it's about America completely changing its infrastructure, for both security and environmental reasons. So when you question whether or not Gore has done "it" yet, I question if you understand what we are talking about here, because that response makes no sense to me.

Maybe Jsarno is not in love with Al Gore like you are ? Why should a man worht 100 million $$$'s have the life of luxary ,,, $2,500 worth of electricity each month , ride in a limo , fly in jets that burn 5,000 gallons per hour of flight , tell us to cut back when he sits back and does more harm to our environment than all of us in the warpath combined ? I agree with conserving , I walk , bike ect. I also use the Flourecent bulbs ,,, note , if you drop one ,,,, leave the room for ten minutes and clean the area < the have Mercury inside > . But Al Gore preaching to us about the environment is like having an alcoholic preaching " Don't drink and Drive " .
