I think Gore actually believes in what he was peddling in that movie. Does it make sense from a business standpoint to make money off of it in this way? Absolutely. Is it ethical? About as ethical as a weatherman predicting rain on a sunny day and standing on the street corner selling umbrellas...
That metaphor blew my mind.
Who. Cares. He's got to keep a household 10 times larger than your average American home, too. Guess they don't consider that? Yes he HAS to keep a large household- if former presidents lives in penury the portrait of the country would certainly start to run.
You are way off the mark here. If Al Gore is serious about what he feels then he could easily convert his home into a green home that actually would not cost him or the environment one red cent. There is technology that can turn any home into a power producer instead of an energy drain. Especially with his position and his money, he could easily do it, but he doesnt and that tells me he does not even believe or care about his own agenda unless it is about money.
Anyone with extra cash can build a green home or convert a home to green that literally uses no power from a power company and in fact, in some cases, produce enough of its own power to sell it back to the power companies. There is absolutely no excuse for this man not to be doing it unless he really doesn't care and that is what I believe, he doesnt care and the only thing he is in this for is a fat paycheck.
Simply put, he is a giant hypocrite and this stuff is not about tinfoil hats and crazy talk. He has the options, the ability to follow his own advice and agenda and he fails miserably and is just another money hungry, fear mongering idiot out to fill his own pockets.
