Just one more reason that I think the environmental movement is doomed. The message is only being heard from those too rich to practice what they preach.

The thing is that no one is perfect. If you look hard enough at anyone you will find something contradictory.
I'm not excusing Gore's excesive power consumption, but I fully expect people to use this as a reason to ignore any and all of the good things he is doing, and that's wrong.
Just because he's doing one thing wrong, doesn't mean we should ignore what he's doing right. I hope this doesn't turn into a fuel for the "ignore his cause, he's a hypocrit" bunch.
