As an MBA, I'm always interested in new and creative ways to increase income, protect investments, and minimize expenses. However, I never ever thought I'd learn anything about that from Al Gore.
To recap: First, one of these Learjet Liberals has the gall to tell us all that we're all ruining the environment. Then we find out that he's actually one of the top offenders, gobbling up over 220,000kWh a year; about 20 times the national average. Such usage is defended by the claim that he purchases carbon offsets to counter the damaging effects of the coal burning plants that supply his power.
Well check this shit out, via Ecotality:
Frickin' genius! So not only does he get to run his fucking mouth about how we should all use less while he uses a metric shit ton more than average; but he gets to justify his position by boosting his investments, and maybe even garnering a wage as co-founder and chairman. The mind reels.
I guess I shouldn't be surprised at the discovery that a politician turned out to be an utter prick; but it just burns me up. Here I am using compact flourescents, burning approximately 30 gallons of gas (in total, for both of my automobiles) a month, keeping my thermostat at 68 degrees; right? Just cruising along, being mindful of what I use; and my efforts are completely negated by one person: the dicksmack who made a movie about how much I was consuming.
Al Gore can kiss my red state ass.
"Finish him!"
"Fatality!"
I only drive about 500 miles a months and I'm burning about 40 gallons and loving every minute of it. Thanks for saving all that gas! Can I call you my carbon offset? :-)
Well, you could do that if you "purchased" my services. Apparently, that's the way carbon offsets work, they're bought and sold.
So, shall we start the bidding at, say...$50?
Thanks Shank. I've thought about all of this some more. I've realized that I could be driving 1200 miles a month, but I've voluntarily decided not to (to save the planet - of course), so therefore I am already providing a 700 mile a month offset (almost 60 gallons) for myself of which I only really need 40 gallons worth. Subsequently, I actually have a 20 gallon a month offset I could sell.
Nice site!
