Lying right wing crap.



All my environmental choices are generally made on the basis of 2
cost/ benefit calculations:

1) Will I live long enough and will the new equipment live long enough
to recoup the cost and then some (in energy savings) of my purchase?
If there is no big payoff, or risk too high, then I'll keep my
existing equipment or buy standard equipment.

2) Will the new equipment make my life drastically more comfortable
making the expense worth it even if the recoup time doesnt work out as
well? If not, then I'll keep my existing equipment.

So far a hybrid car over a good-mileage 4 cylinder has not passed the
above test, neither has solar panels on my house, another 8 inches of
insulation, etc. But weatherstripping my doors had a good cost to
payoff to comfort ratio.


Sounds very reasonable.

These hollywood stars are on a different
planet alltogether,


Can't argue with that. lol

as is Al Gore who has made around 100 million so
far selling the global warming lie.


1. There is no global warming lie, except perhaps the many different
cockamamie stories denialists come up with to explain why we should believe
oil company employees instead of our own lying satellites, and

2. Al Gore started his AGW work over a decade before his commercial
venture.
