Al Gore's message of protecting the environment and preventing global warming will always come under fire from conservative and right-wing crackpots who wish to preserve the status quo and destroy Mother Nature as it's their God-given right to do so. So when it surfaced Al Gore has a $30,000 a year utility bill, well, that man is a hypocrite isn't he?

Gore can talk about the fact he uses solar energy, compact fluorescent light bulbs and other items that reduce carbon emissions. But that is a moot point, because the press concentrates solely on that $30,000 he doles out for juice. He's a rich man living a life of excess.

I would view Al Gore as a hypocrite except I can see right through this smear campaign and see what the press is trying to do: Destroy Al Gore's reputation and in turn, destroy his message of being more environmentally conscience and have a livable planet to leave to the next generation.

The message makes too much sense, so if that can't be discredited, the logical step is to attack the messenger. Unfortunately for Exxon executives, I think the majority of the world is too smart to buy into it and feels there is a strong need to have environmental issues addressed at the highest level.

Regardless if Al Gore is heating a 20-room mansion.
