[LawMan018]

He uses 20x what an average american household uses? Well wow, I may be a little off but the average american household isn't a mansion... Not to mention I bet his mansion is 20x as big as mine =o

Are you saying that justifies his usage?

Why not?

You either say that rich people get to use more energy than poor folks, or else you end up saying that each person gets a ration (their fair share) of energy, and can't use more than what they've been allocated.

I'm not supporting any governmental interference in personal energy usage.

He's a hypocrite, he's preaching one thing, and living another.

The large house small house analogy is the same as gas guzzling automobiles, verses hybrids.

If this was a Republican and not a Democrat we were talking about Tock and the other Neo-leftists would be smearing his name all over this board...
Another example of their lack of Integrity.

The issue isnt rich people and there mansions, but the hypocrisy of the those who wage a pseudo war in the name of the earth, for personal agenda. The blatant use of a cause that appeals to all people, and in most cases a political goal.
Its like the Emperors new cloths, no one would dare to deny the issue of Global warming, pollution, or natural resources. And Gore is riding high on it as the conquering hero, who did nothing but scream fire in a world wide theater.

There's also another form of hypocrisy -- that of the people who know there's a problem, but don't do anything about it. Like people who won't turn down their air conditioning, or cut back on their gasoline use . . .

Seems to me that a good method to figure out how much fossil fuels folks should use, is to take the maximum amount of burned fossil fuel the earth can safely process per year, divide by the number of people on the planet, and voila! that's what each person gets to use. How much electricity/fuel oil/diesel/etc that is, I haven't a clue, but I'm sure someone somewhere has that information. The way things are now, though, rich folks get to use as much fossil fuel as they like, poor folks don't. It's an economic thing, I guess.
It's odd that that bit of information (how much fossil fuel the planet can process) isn't already commonly known . . . hmmmm . . .
I'd bet that whatever that number is, it's substantially less that what the average American has been using for the last few decades. And that means that Americans simply have to figure out some way to use less fossil fuel. Same thing will probably apply to the Chinese, too.
