1. My boss was positively orgasmic about this news
Emailed me the article and put a copy on my desk. I can't wait to hear what Keith has to say about it -- and return the favor tomorrow.

Cheney's Electric Bill 11 Times Gore's Bill

Gore Responds to Drudge's Latest Hysteria - Vice President Gore’s office told ThinkProgress:

1) Gore’s family has taken numerous steps to reduce the carbon footprint of their private residence, including signing up for 100 percent green power through Green Power Switch, installing solar panels, and using compact fluorescent bulbs and other energy saving technology.

2) Gore has had a consistent position of purchasing carbon offsets to offset the family’s carbon footprint — a concept the right-wing fails to understand. Gore’s office explains:

What Mr. Gore has asked is that every family calculate their carbon footprint and try to reduce it as much as possible. Once they have done so, he then advocates that they purchase offsets, as the Gore’s do, to bring their footprint down to zero.

8. Further Response from Al Gore's Offices -
Vice President Gore's office also wanted everyone to know:

100 percent of the power the Gores use in their home (and in all their homes though I wouldn't bring this up) is green power.

Both the Vice President and Mrs Gore have home offices and conduct business at the house so obviously they use more power than someone who is just a homeowner

The Gores drive a hybrid, use compact fluorescents, et cetera

And the Gores live a carbon neutral life which means that for every ton of carbon they emit, they also purchase offsets.

6. That guy from "Tennessee" can't even be original
(of course, what can you expect from a conservative, Right-Wingnut Repuke fellater, an original thought?)

From August, 2006:
