cantcu> What part of the question did you not understand?
For the rest of you:
The Gores had been paying a $432 per month premium on their monthly electricity bills in order to obtain some of their electricity from "green" sources (i.e., solar or other renewable energy sources). Other factors (such as the climate in the area where the home is located and its size) make the Gore home's energy usage comparable to that of other homes in the same area.
The former vice-president maintained that comparing raw energy-usage figures is misleading and that he leads what he advocates, a "carbon-neutral lifestyle," by purchasing energy from renewable energy sources such as solar, wind and methane gas to balance out the carbon emissions produced in generating the electricity his home uses.
Kalee Kreider, a spokesperson for the Gores, pointed out that both Al and Tipper Gore work out of their home and she argued that "the bottom line is that every family has a different carbon footprint. And what Vice President Gore has asked is for families to calculate that footprint and take steps to reduce and offset it."
A carbon footprint is a calculation of the CO2 fossil fuel emissions each person is responsible for, either directly because of his or her transportation and energy consumption or indirectly because of the manufacture and eventual breakdown of products he or she uses.
The vice president has done that, Kreider argues, and the family tries to offset that carbon footprint by purchasing their power through the local Green Power Switch program - electricity generated through renewable resources such as solar, wind, and methane gas, which create less waste and pollution. "In addition, they are in the midst of installing solar panels on their home, which will enable them to use less power," Kreider added. "They also use compact fluorescent bulbs and other energy efficiency measures and then they purchase offsets for their carbon emissions to bring their carbon footprint down to zero."
Any of you criticizing Gore, but not doing your part are the true hypocrites.

i think of he'd be a fool to run, because of fact no count if or no longer the final election became rigged, he lost. So what does winning the Nobel Peace Prize have been given to do with winning a presidential election? he's extremely an unusual dude. i won't be in a position to extremely make certain who the guy is. And what I advise via it incredibly is for the period of the 2000 election he got here off as smarmy, and that i wasn't quite delighted approximately casting my vote for him. He hasn't been appearing smarmy on account that then. no longer something 's going to ensue to Hillary if he did run, because of fact I actually have a feeling he'd screw up back. i think of this is great that he's added worldwide warming to the attention of the standard public. and that i think of he does a extra suitable activity staying interior the historical past, engaged on public coverage matters. He seems to be a good adequate guy, yet he isn't presidential fabric.

Absolutely not.
Good guy, won the election in 2000, but he only cares about one issue now.
I agree with him mostly, but do not think he would be a good president now.
It might be good for him to run to take votes away from Hillary. But who knows.

He would win the nomination polls show, however he isn't running, and unless he does, I am not wasting a vote on someone who doesn't want to be president!

Not a chance. Then he would have to use his private jet to fly around and campaign. That would not be good for the environment.
It is an "inconvenient truth" that he is a hypocrite and would be a poor choice for president.

i couldn't vote for someone who says one thing and does another...like most politicians, sadly. if he is going to castigate people, he should clean his own house/s first. it would give him some credibility. IMO
