Gore has been criticized for advocating his environmental policies. Many conservatives have been telling people that our lives will have to drastically change and warning that we'd have to give up a lot of things. Gore is showing that you can be environmentally friendly AND have fun.

It's the Bio-Solar One Edited on Fri Aug-08-08 09:34 AM by MabusAl Gore's Bio-Solar OneSubmitted by Christian Grantham on August 5, 2008 - 4:59pm.The solar panels for Al Gore's new boat (Bio-Solar One) will be installed at Hurricane Marina tomorrow.It's just a hunch, but I bet you won't find a single one of the following conservatives there taking pictures for their follow-up blog posts.It's likely you won't hear much about the fact that the boat carries enough fuel for a year's use and is called the Toyota Prius of boats by the company that sold it to Gore. Those facts, it seems, have a distinctly liberal bias.***UPDATE 08-06-08 10:42am - Solar panel wiring is underway on Bio-Solar One today, and the solar panels, which are inside the boat, will be mounted tomorrow. News 2's Jerry Barlar is heading down today for a follow up report. You can see his report from yesterday's 6pm newscast here.UPDATE 1:46pm - Jerry Barlar is at the marina now and will have a followup at 6pm. Gore spokesperson Kalee Kreider tells NIT that once the solar panels are completely installed (by weeks end), they will fully power the boat when it's in use. When the boat is not in use, the solar panels will feed renewable energy back into the grid at the marina.Bio-Solar One uses about 4 gallons of biodiesel on a typical weekend, depending on use. This is about 20-25% more fuel efficient than other boats this size. Tennessee is a leader in the production of biodiesel fuels.UPDATE 3:01pm - One of the things you will see in tonight's report is a bank of batteries that store the solar energy. There are 16 of them, each weighing 167 pounds. That's more than a ton of batteries. The power that is not used will be enough to power 4 or 5 other boats at the marina.http://www.nashvilleistalking.com/node/58791 Gore has been criticized for advocating his environmental policies.

OK Yeah, you can be envionmentally friendly and have fun as long as you have the wealth to buy such a toy in the first place and can then afford to have solar panels installed.But wouldn't it use less energy not to even have the boat in the first place?
There's a reason why patriotism is considered a conservative value. Watch a Tea Party rally and you'll see people proudly raising the American flag and showing pride in U.S. heroes such as Thomas Jefferson. Watch an OWS rally and you'll see people burning the American flag while showing pride in communist heroes such as Che Guevera. --Bob, from some news site
Hats off to DangerDave and wtmusic. Now, anyone wanna inform that fool Tarc that they don't SELL Bio-Diesel on the lake? It doesn't run ONLY on Bio-Diesel. It's like my Flex-Fuel E85 Tahoe. I can use E85, 87, 89, or 91 Octane.

Cooley Hurd Donating Member (1000+ posts) Fri Aug-08-08 09:34 AM16. Many houseboats are static (i.e. no engine)... They merely float.That said, I HIGHLY doubt President Gore would buy a huge boat with an equally huge engine to tool around Tennesee lakes. My bet is that, if he DID buy a 100ft houseboat, it's of the static kind.
One Al Gore fart will power the entire Denver Democrat Convention.

You can't move that monster out of dock on two gallons of fuel.
