One thing that P&%^$sses me off is that these guys who are "warning" us about global warming are still living in huge houses that usurps large quantities of energy, and still ride their private jets instead of taking commercial flights. If you truly believe that this phenomenon is a real threat, wouldnt you change your lifestyle first before we tell others to do so? But wait: these guys are RICH and can "offset" their pollution by buying "carbon credits"! That's the solution to global warming! BUY CARBON CREDITS to offset your 15mpg SUV!!!  |
Yeah, the X is my wifes ride. It was her choice. I tried to talk her into a car. Don't get me wrong, I do love the X now that we have it, but I was very anti-SUV before she bought it. I never even considered owning an SUV as my personal car. I also didn't throw too much of a fit because the X5 was so safe. Knowing she was going to be driving it daily made me feel good. That outweighed the environmental factor.
Besides her X5, we are pretty good about using CFL's, recycling everything possible, HVAC, not buying plastic water bottles, etc.
I agree though that Gore and others were/are huge wasters of resources as they preach conservation.
