Gore simply stated that he went "down to Texas" at the time the fires broke out -- not to the site of the actual fires, as Cohen implied.

Wow, that's parsing at its best.

Poor Al, born on a mountain top in Tennessee,
Went to live in DC when he was only three.
And never came back, no sirree.

Modeled for Love story, invented the Internet..and now has decided that he will save the world while jetting around dumping tons of CO2 in the atmosphere he claims to love...

Wants to be Pres i dent, but never will be
So he dresses in Black like Johnnnnnyy..
Cash that. Movie stars.

Algore, algore... king of the Global Warming Frontier..

No matter how you cut it, he is using 20 times what the average person uses. Now, let's look at a few facts.

TVA has a green program where you can "pretend" that you are using green power. Actually, whatever "green" power that is produced is just put into the grid, and used by everyone. And when the wind stops, you use "regular" power like everyone. To do that you pay an additional 2.6 cents per KWH that you designate.

Did Keith O say how many "green" KWH's the algore actually purchased?

Actually, as I have noted before, wind power, because it can not be depended on, requires a 100% back up of the regular system. This overbuild is very costly, and the use of various resources and destruction of the environment when the wind power is built, may actually cause more harm than good.

So it is all smoke and mirrors, Che. Have another koolaid and enjoy the ride.

BTW - Remember the Snail Darter? The fish that the was supposed to be living in this just one river....and new dams to generate power would kill them?....turns out it lives all over.. in the meantime the dams were replaced with coal and oil power plants, the environment was damaged and the cost doubled.

Yesssir, these smart environmental wackos are just so smart... Guess you have to destroy the environment to save it...

It was the Great Grand Daddy of the endangered species act, and the legal fight was so expensive that building dams ceased.

BTW - How do you see me inferring Algore is stupid? On the contrary, I think he is very snmart, and is using this as an issue to get back in front of the public.

My question as to how many KWH's he had purchased is because you buy them in 150 KWH blocks at $4.00 a block. So, how many did Algore buy???

I do maintain that some researchers have an agenda because it keeps money flowing to them. I hope you won't be surprised by that concept.

But since you want me to explain something I never said, I don't feel obliged.

Let's see a link.

Google didn't work? Here's one that took me less than ten seconds. Maybe you need some instructions on how to work a computer.

BTW - It proves my point, so your typical insulting manner just redefines you. In otherwords, you are flat out wrong.

From a common sense point of view, despite the tactics that may have been employed by the TVA, it was simply impossible for many people to accept that a three-inch fish that nobody had ever heard of, and few people cared about, would stop a project that had displaced hundreds of families and cost the American public over $100 million--especially since the dam was basically finished.

The snail darter litigation was one of several legal maneuvers showing the efficacy of this approach to environmental activism; a slightly later dam project of the TVA was halted by this approach using a different endangered species and eventually dismantled.

Now, the coup de grace:

Before the closure of the gates of Tellico Dam, numerous snail darters were transplanted into the Hiwassee River. These may have survived; in any event, the snail darter has been found in other locations. The Little Tennessee River was never the sole environment in which these fish lived as had been alleged in the suit.

The snail darter was taken off the endangered species list in the 1980s.

And because of this the Left has a tendancy to try and reduce complex subjects into one liners. (Makes it easier for the "stars" to remember their lines.)

For instance, no where have I said that I think protection of the envornment is wrong. Matter of fact, if you had read my comment, you might note where I point out that the construction of wind power might do more damage than the good it provides because it also requires a backup construction to carry the power when the wind stops. And it is a given that it will.

That's all I said. Stop and think these things through. The simplest solutions often carry hidden costs and penalties.

But instead of that, the environmental wackos jump on the wrong conclusions and do the wrong thing.
And rather than having science lead the way, they choose movie stars and politicans. That by itself should make you suspicious.

As for Global Warming, when you start looking at the temperature ups and downs, nothing makes sense. And yet you are willing to believe Algore..

Link to reality.

Gore's credibility is damaged early in the film when he tells the audience that, by simply looking at Antarctic ice cores with the naked eye, one can see when the American Clean Air Act was passed. Dr. Ian Clark, professor of Earth Sciences at the University of Ottawa (U of O) responds, "This is pure fantasy unless the reporter is able to detect parts per billion changes to chemicals in ice." Air over the United States doesn't even circulate to the Antarctic before mixing with most of the northern, then the southern, hemisphere air, and this process takes decades. Clark explains that even far more significant events, such as the settling of dust arising from the scouring of continental shelves at the end of ice ages, are undetectable in ice cores by an untrained eye.

Let's face it. Algore just can't keep from making things up.

And he's your leader??
