an even more inconvenient truth

Today in the news Al Gore is catching some heat about the amount of electricity his house uses.

It's being pointed out that he is using far more energy than the average person.

It also points out that he can afford an increase in utility bills that would be the result of actions taken to stall global warming.

All of this exposes the even more inconvenient truth of all alternate energy ideas.

Everyone here wants to keep using energy at the same rate that they do now.

They just want to do it without the side effects of oil and coal.

People need to wake up and realize that this is a bunch of baloney.

The future will not be saved by turning corn into alcohol and running a car with it. The future will be saved by moving to within walking distance of work and the grocery. The future will be saved by living in condos where half the outside walls are the neighbors and the first floor is mostly below ground.

The future will only be saved when we use less and less energy per person.
