Al Gore Gets Approval To Install Solar Panels at His Tennessee Home

I know a lot of people think that Gore is only making changes now that he got "caught." I never saw the original article about the energy use at his home, but I did see some responses and I don't think I buy what was said in the original article. Anyone out there have a link to it?

Anyway, Gore finally got it approved to install solar panels in his home, and he'll be doing other renovations along with this:

He is also upgrading the furnace, windows, and light switches, as well as installing new floor radiant heat and solar vents, to improve the home's energy standards, said Kalee Kreider, a Gore spokeswoman.

What bothers me the most about that article calling Gore a hypocrite is that is just gives people a reason to disregard the real issue, and then they can feel satisfied not doing anything about pollution in their daily lives. People are just looking for distractions so that they don't have to make a change.
