Al Gore's House Boat

[ericire12]

Here it is, his 100ft house boat:




Michelle Malkin is playing a "Name that Boat" game at her website:

My entry is the S.S. Do as I say, not as I do.

The official name is “Bio-Solar One,”. Yes, he named his boat "BS-1"

Pajamas Media reports:

They claim the engines are bio-diesel fueled and Gore can expect to use about two gallons an hour to cruise Center Hill Lake. With a 500 gallon capacity Gore won’t need a refill for “two or three years” though he admits having “no clue” about where he could get bio-diesel at the lake.The Hurricane Marina dock doesn’t sell it.

Mr. Hypocrisy claims “This boat is going to be the Toyota Prius of the houseboat business,”  “It is the most eco-friendly houseboat anywhere in the country and is going to revolutionize the houseboat industry. People are increasingly worried about high gas prices and this is the answer." “Bio-Solar One” will create 40-50% less carbon emission and use half the fuel of other similar houseboats. “Gore will consume a lot more fuel driving to and from the lake than he will ever use cruising on this houseboat,””

Exit Question: Is the jet ski on the back "bio-fueled" as well?

Just more of the status-quo "the rules don't apply to me because I'm special" BS.....

I thought it was illegal to dump garbage into bodies of water. What's with the slide off the stern?

What's with the slide off the stern?

That's the 'eco-friendly-personal-safety evacuation chute'....in case of fire or frontal assault.

I'm glad we have places like DRTV, so that we can stay informed of the BS we're constantly being fed! My whole day is made.

I don't know if made-up names can beat the BS-1.

ANY diesel engine will use 'bio diesel' (french fry grease) BUT it burns at the same or GREATER rate that regular diesel so how he is going to double fuel hours per gallon is a mystery to me.

Gore fans deserve everything they get.  What I would like to know is if he understands the hypocrisy he spews or if he is really as lame as his followers:

1.  Green Tags to allow him to polute as much as he can afford and still be a "greenie";
2.  Buring bio is still burning a fuel and it still polutes;
3.  High price "green" bulbs that require more energy to produce and put mercury in every light socket in the home;
4.  Clean nuclear is bad and dangerous, but inefficient natural gas turbines that produce both high priced electricity and polution;

The list goes on and on and on ...

Absolutely.
I have a friend that makes and runs bio-diesel in his trucks and farm equipment. His words were that he gets about 10 to 20 percent less mpg than with regular diesel, depending on the vehicle and how it is driven. The savings is only in the cost per gallon area (which I'll admit is a considerable savings, until fast-food chains wise up and start selling the oil instead of giving it away).

Plus, all the tree-hugging celebrities that tell us what we 'ought' to do pollute more air on their constant airline trips than we do driving.
I bet Al Gore burns more fuel on one cross-country tree-hugging book tour than my Chevy burns all year.

What Mr Bore always leaves out in his carbon footprint calculations is the contingent of Secret Service agents that we the taxpayers are funding. There are probably 5 other boats around the houseboat when he is onboard.

Gore's new boat....................."The S. S. Hypocrite".............it runs on 100% bull$hit.
