Al Gore: It's Not Easy Being Green
Public records reveal that as Gore lectures Americans on excessive consumption, he and his wife Tipper live in two properties: a 10,000-square-foot, 20-room, eight-bathroom home in Nashville, and a 4,000-square-foot home in Arlington, Va.
...according to public records, there is no evidence that Gore has signed up to use green energy in either of his large residences.
Gore receives $20,000 a year in royalties from Pasminco Zinc, which operates a zinc concession on his property. Tennessee has cited the company for adding large quantities of barium, iron and zinc to the nearby Caney Fork River.
Isn't "Mr. Internet" a fine role model for practicing what you preach?
