Hah, geothermal.   You know what's funny?  George W Bush's house if run by Geothermal energy.  Despite is anti-green polcies, he's actually quite possible the most personally green president we've had. That was always a funny thing about the Bush V Gore campaign... and Gore in general.  He's a HUGE pollutor.  Like one of the worst personal pollutors in the country.

I always judge by effective policy. The cult of personality around individual politicians stops people from seeing whether their ideas are good/bad for the country. From both the liberal and conservative sides. As an outsider, it's absurd that limited government reach, and basic social liberties, are on opposite sides of the US spectrum and cannot be combined on the same person whilst remaining electable.

I wish Gore's stamp wasn't on the debate. He's so politically and personally charged that conservatives find it easy to dismiss climate change on his image alone, without actually thinking.
