Nobel Peace Prize
Nashville Electric Service
This is a link that I found concerning the type of Gore's energy in TN.
While most power companies probably burn coal or whatever, many are using alternatives. I'm in seattle, and we don't burn coal for power. Our power comes from hydroelectric generators and windmills mostly. Many power companies are giving the option of cleaner energy, despite its higher cost. Guys like Gore can and do buy more expensive energy and then to outsiders like us it seems like the high electric bill makes him a hypocrit (sp?).
It all stems from the innate desire we all have to see global warming as a falsehood. If it's false, then the world is safe, if we can make gore look like a hypocrit, then we feel good that maybe he's wrong.
I hope this tendency will be curbed soon. If people just want to live out their days in oblivion, always finding something they can use to reinforce their comfortable ignorant security, they will. They'll always find some rationale to excuse themselves from feeling the burden of this scary reality. I'd rather participate in what is obviously a real cause. I'd feel too guilty about future generations if i did nothing.
