Symbolism > Substance.

I bet there was quite a spike in electrical use once they turned all those lights back on.

Not to be a wet blanket, but this accomplished nothing.

Al Gore snubs Earth Hour

Al Gore Leaves The Light On For Ya



Even during Earth Hour. President of the Tennessee Center For Policy Research Drew Johnson takes a Saturday drive by Al Gore’s during the time most environmentalists went dark:

I pulled up to Al’s house, located in the posh Belle Meade section of Nashville, at 8:48pm – right in the middle of Earth Hour. I found that the main spotlights that usually illuminate his 9,000 square foot mansion were dark, but several of the lights inside the house were on.

In fact, most of the windows were lit by the familiar blue-ish hue indicating that floor lamps and ceiling fixtures were off, but TV screens and computer monitors were hard at work. (In other words, his house looked the way most houses look about 1:45am when their inhabitants are distractedly watching “Cheaters” or “Chelsea Lately” reruns.)

The kicker, though, were the dozen or so floodlights grandly highlighting several trees and illuminating the driveway entrance of Gore’s mansion.

I [kid] you not, my friends, the savior of the environment couldn’t be bothered to turn off the gaudy lights that show off his goofy trees

Wah wah wah, Gore is such a hypocrit! OMG he had lights on! Seriously fuck that guy for having lights on.

Oh wait he's a former vice president with a full Secret Service staff living with him, in addition to his many employees who work out of an office at the aforementioned home. Oh and his wife's employees who also work out of the home.

TCPR has a boner for bashing Gore, so much so they are willing to sit outside of his house at night, which is more than a little creepy. This is the same group (I say group knowing full well that TCRP is run primarily by Mr. Drew Johnson from a PO box, supplemented by 3 secretaries, and five part time researchers) that said Gore uses 20 times the electricity of the average American home, which is wrong. They just happened to release this info the day after an inconvenient truth won an academy award.

Cool idea Earth Hour, too bad it won't mean anything. Raising awareness is nice and all, but we need action.

Very cool pictures too, thanks for sharing them!

It's the hypocrisy, stupid.

It's the hypocrisy, stupid.

It's a ton of people living in one house using a lot of electricty. It's like blaming me for my apartment buildings electricity bill, stupid.

Not to mention Gore flying around the world in a private jet selling carbon credits which he happens to make a profit from.

No hypocrisy there though...

Gore is a hypocrite and a scammer. Sorry you can't see past your own biases to see the obvious.

I want a source for that first claim, and reasons for the last one.
