Newsmax again. This time about Gore.

I’ve heard the right wing attack Al Gore as a hypocrite because of his big, energy guzzling house since “An Inconvenient Truth” came out, and have to admit I was a little nonplussed that he used so much energy.

Then when I got another Newsmax “expose” about Gore’s energy use INCREASE, I thought I should investigate a little for my own edification. A quick trip to Digg (which showed the 10-day old article to have only 3 diggs) allowed a commenter to reveal that it’s not only obsessive, but inaccurate.

It makes me wonder how non-factual most of the stuff on Newsmax is… but I don’t have the time or energy to find out. As for Gore’s energy consumption, It’s gone down by 40% since he installed many energy saving features into his old house… AND he buys only green power from the grid. Meaning he is consuming only clean and renewable power which doesn’t seem very hypocritical to me.
