    BTW I HATE with a passion to say this but, that boat is actually economical for its size. It is a light weight cruiser designed to skim the surface not plow it. It is mostly light weight aluminum construction. A motor yacht that size would be a fuel sucker to the extreme. His choice for fuel economy per size is a very good one.

    I have lived on a sailboat around the downtown NYC region for 10 years now.

    I’m not a big A/C guy, so my dock power bill has been averaging only $300-$400 per year.

    The guy next to me, who is hardly ever there, owns a powerboat that perpetually runs its AC in the warmer months and heater in the colder months. His bill runs over $300 per month = $3600 per year.

    Gore’s boat seems to be running two 120 volt lines – one for standard plug-in appliances, and one dedicated for heating, A/C and refrigeration.

    Power usage can be measured at the public utility box, usually located right in the gatehouse that leads down to the dock.

    My guess is that a guy like Al Gore will constantly run his AC and heat to combat moisture build up inside the boat.

    As much as I detest Al Gore, I don’t think we should condemn him for living comparably to others who enjoy similar income and wealth. This boat is no different that many boats owned by thousands of boat owners across the country. It is certainly not extravagant. Success allows one to access the finer things in life. All Al Gore needs to do is cut back on his energy consumption, which I’m certain he has. You can’t expect him to live like a person on welfare.

    I am a 65 year old retired middle-class male. After years of saving and investing, I have two boats, personal watercraft, two Suburbans, an F-150, a Towncar, and several off-road vehicles. I vacation less, drive less, and use substantially less energy than I used just a few years ago. I am doing my part. I even make sure that my tires are inflated properly and that the engines are properly tuned. However, I am not going to get rid of everything and change my life. It’s not appropriate to pick on Al Gore when guys like John Travolta and Tiger Woods put him to shame is it??

    It is not a “distortion” or “strawman” to paraphrase, as long as the basic meaning is retained.

    The ONE has publicly said
    

    “We can’t drive our SUVs and eat as much as we want and keep our homes on 72 degrees at all times … and then just expect that other countries are going to say OK.”

    IOW he thinks we should curtail SUV use, eat less (!!!) and adjust our thermostats to less comfortable settings, so as to avoid the wrath of “other countries”. Sentient beings would argue that’s close to what the earlier poster claimed.

    No, His Holiness didn’t say we should monitor each others tire pressures, but what he DID say was that we could save as much oil and gas as is contained in the offshore sites if we adjusted our tire pressures.

    Which is a crock. See THIS, from PowerLine, posted today:

    http://www.powerlineblog.com/

    scroll down to the title:

    Time Tries to Salvage Obama’s Gaffe

    He further argued for “tune ups” — even though cars built since 1986 or so began phasing them out (electronic ignitions ) and by 1995 or thereabouts none require them.

    So I guess you’re saying WE are distorting NONSENSICAL suggestions. sorry about that!!!
