He is a business man, a capitalist, what do you expect? Current TV just had a great short documentary about that machine gun rally in Kentucky. Current TV in my opinion is one of the most interesting channels available in addition to NasaTV and Ovation TV. CurrentTV has addressed some serious issues and is fueled by viewer submissions. I congratulate Gore on this and ask him to remember the planet when he is spending his money.

"Is he actually paying more care to his wallet than to the planet?"

One can't know the answer to this without asking the man himself. What do you think motivates him? If he is capable of earning a buck then why not? A forward thinking network concept like Current TV will bring voices that aren't heard into the living rooms of millions of people.

Do you want to know what I think motivates him or what I would hope motivates him? What I think motivates him is money and greed. What I would hope motivates him is the truth...

I think that it is a politically motivated drive. Could not become president one way, why not use "in-fashion" trend. If he did it for the cause - his "palace" would not get such an electricity bills. And i do not see how money are to be made of this. He is not producing "green" commodities, just "green" politics.
Anyway, if pollution will decrease, i will thank him.

Gore is motivated by money, power and prestige - not necessarily in that order, hence the 3 palatial homes, staffed all year round, and the private jet he hires to travel the world on promotional tours for his books.

He is a fake, a charlatan and a money grubber who cares nothing for the environment and everything for his bank balance.

It is my view that he will, at some point, use the whole fake GW scam he'sbeen instrumental in perpetrating as a springboard to re-enter politics, which remains his ultimate goal.

If you were to assume that I don't like him, you would be correct in that assumption - the lousy hypocrite.

Wealth and environmental concern are not necessarily incompatible concepts.



My $0.02.

The pursuit of wealth using environmental concerns as a vehicle is a horrible hypocrisy.
As are the 3 homes and the private jet.

He has the "carbon footprint" of a large town.

anothe ridiculous term coined by al bore - carbon footprint.

BAH

I remember arthur c clarke saying that he worried about moving away from oil to free energy devices, as he said they could be just as bad. Who do you beleive arthur c clarke or al gore.

Just a joke seeing him get a nobel prize this last year, and now we have the coldest winter for decades in most of the northern hemisphere.
