GROUP: New Video Exposes Behind-the-Scenes Story of Gore?s Own Energy Use
Wed May 24 2006 17:59:00 ET

As former Vice President Al Gore?s documentary on global warming fears debuts today, a new video from the Competitive Enterprise Institute tracks Gore?s own ?carbon footprint.? CEI?s 70-second video points out that Gore himself is a big user of the hydrocarbon fuels that produce carbon dioxide when combusted.

Gore?s ?An Inconvenient Truth? asks, "Are you willing to change the way you live?" The Gore documentary and new book of the same name go on to suggest ways that people can reduce their carbon footprint, yet Mr. Gore has clearly not taken his own message to heart. He even says in the documentary that he has given his global warming Power Point slide show more than 1,000 times all around the world.

The CEI video, which may be viewed at: http://streams.cei.org/, includes footage of Gore and his constant air travel with two CO2 meters running at the bottom of the page that compare Gore?s carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions with those of an average person.

"All the evidence suggests that Mr. Gore is an elitist who passionately believes that the people of the world must drastically reduce their energy use but that it doesn't apply to him,? said Myron Ebell, CEI's director of energy and global warming policy and the creator of the video.

the one consistent theme applies to leftists:

whether its your money, your business, your gasoline expenditure, etc. etc. -- they think they should be able to control your behavior through the government

but of course the rules do not apply to them as they scrap and claw for every last cent and guys like Gore use all the gasoline they want when flying cross country

Next time he speaks wish someone would ask him why he's dogging this admin when they spent twice as much on alternate fuel research and development than when he and Bill were in charge?

P.S. best example I've seen of pot calling kettle black is last 2 liberal hopefuls of Kerry/Edwards and their harping on 2 Americas--while Kerry stiffs charities for zilch--and Edwards personally stiffs medicare for bout 1/2 million--gota love em.
