Name Al Gore’s hugetastic boat!
Barack Obama wants us all to turn down our thermostats, get rid of our SUVs, and monitor each other’s tire pressure to conserve energy and rescue the planet. How about going after the lavish consumption of his fellow purported eco-warriors?
Let’s start with Green Messiah Al Gore’s massive boat outside Nashville. It’s docked at Hurricane Marina on Center Hill Lake in Smithville, about an hour east of Nashville.
Steve Gill has the goods on Gore’s “Bio-Solar One”–which is supposed to be environmentally acceptable because it’s biodiesel-fueled and solar-powered.
Only, it didn’t have the solar panels until local whistleblowers called attention to it (his spokespeople now say the panels will be installed today) and has instead been plugged in, “sucking a lot of energy from the ‘evil’ energy companies,” as Gill points out:
How many conscience-easing carbon offsets do you think this behemoth will need?
I hear there’s a bumper sticker on the back of it that says “My other boat is a sailboat. Trust me.”
Contest time: Name Gore’s boat.
My suggestion: H.M.S. Eco-hypocrisy.
All aboard.

Commenter lawbwrs: “It’s official name is ‘Bio-Solar One’..yes.. he named his boat “BS1″! We CAN[']T do better than that!”

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.

“The Earth is Flat”
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??
S.S. Hypo Crit
Stubby:
The point is that YOU do not go around the world preaching to others & crying to heaven that the sky is falling and we must “all do our part”…. less the world be doomed.
Al Gore is… and his hypocrisy is the point. He wants us all to cut back, use less, bike to work, walk, etc… while he goes on living a lie.
Biejing Ka-Ching!
No Carbon Credits For You!
F-GW! (works a couple of ways)

The “SS Shoehorn” – any foot that can leave a carbon footprint that large requires well-fitting shoes.

Also – let us not forget that the ‘carbon offsets’ he wants us all to invest in are part of a business which HE invests in…
In other words… invest to save the planet, and line Al Gore’s pockets…
gore’s carbon footprint would cover rhode island.
The Inconvenient Proof
Paid for by carbon offsets.
#53 stubby said:
You do realize that that is exactly what AlGore is asking you to do?
Stubby
the boat is called ‘bio-solar one’
The reason why he can afford a boat like that is because Algore has spread a ton of ‘number 2′ around about global warming..
Stubby..
do you keep your air conditioner at 72 still?

If a rich man has a yacht the size of a small planet, good for him. I don’t want to hear from said rich man that I need to turn down my thermostat because he thinks he understands climatology.

lgm’s boat name:
Stink hole for a think hole
Al Gore’s behomith boat:
“The Carbon Footprint Ministry of Truth”
1) He claims to believe in the hoax of global warming.
2) He wants all of us to live in tiny houses or apartments with those flourescent lights that emit a creepy glow
3) He wants us to keep our thermostat at 90 in the summer and 55 in the winter.
4) He wants to have a gigantic mansion, 10 vacation homes, a private jet, and a behomith boat. But he deserves it!
5) If anyone has the audacity to complain, just invent the concept of “carbon credits.” The dumb liberals will go along with it.
I christen it the S.S. Caca de Toro (which I totally ripped from my Cuban neighbor’s boat).
Gabe with due respect it is not the liberals I worry about most.
It is the wobbly-knee’ed republicans falling for this tripe.
Liberals, I expect to back whatever power-grap comes down the pike.
S.S. Carbon Debit
Drat. I was gonna post “ManBoatPig”, but you sorta beat me to it.
“Switch Hitter” since he seems to go both ways on the energy problem.
lgm, do you even bother to nudge a neuron into Thought Mode before writing?
It is not a “distortion” or “strawman” to paraphrase, as long as the basic meaning is retained.
The ONE has publicly said
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:

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!!!
Quelle buffoon!
HA! Vicki, I knew what ya meant the first time , thanks,
Lay off on Gore! He got the boat so the polar bears will have somewhere to sit when all the ice is gone.
Sheeesh.
