18 turbines near Oak Ridge. I don't know about the nodes. I assume so, because it's gets from the power company to Al's house

I just gotta laugh at the excuse making for this obvious conman.

Please show me this obvious con. You've been saying this without backing it up.

The logic, or lack of it, from the left is laughable. Using Al Gore's logic regarding paying for his own emissions, I can beat my wife because I give to the Women's Shelter.

No, that would be buying a women's shelter and paying them not to beat your wife.
I really don't think this is a right/left issue. There's a lot of misuse of those terms, same as socialist/ism.

I don't know why lefties can't see that these people never put their money where their mouth is.

Well....if global warming really is a conspiracy of power-hungry scientists, then Gore is up a non-melting glacier without a paddle, isn't he? His livelihood depends on climate change being the threat that it is. That, to me, is putting money in mouth.

These people can tell you all day they're buying "green energy units", and you don't have no knowledge of how it works, what it is, and it's distribution. Nobody else seems to either.

I posted this earlier, this is the scheme Gore is using. Have a look through it. It won't bite.

Oh wait, "dont have no knowledge". I see what you did there. It's nice to agree.

No, but they have paid him over $300,000. I said nothing about investment.

Algore is vested in GIM and is pushing hard for policy change which will enrich him while
he happily uses all the energy he wishes while asking everyone else to conserve.

he does conserve. Also, most of his power comes from renewable sources.
I've been over (and over) this.

His behavior is but one example of the hypocracy which is mentioned inthe OP.

And this one.

That's why he is not a hypocrite. If he sat on his ass all day and did nothing but request less well-off people to make sacrifices that he wasn't, then yes, he'd be a gold-plated hypocrite. But that is not the case, and I think you know it.
