#2I get the obvious analogy here, but this isn't productive. This is tantamount to two people calling one another hypocrites in church while the townsfolk are starving to death. The battle will be helped in suburbia, but won on highways, reducing factory farming, and solving industrial transport.

Regardless of its veracity, I'd rather not have ExxonMobil-funded propaganda on HN.

That is low man. It's like saying: "I don't care if you're right. I don't like you so I'm not listening."
But if that's how you feel, I think there is reason to like Exxon.
ExxonMobile has done an unbelievable amount of good for the modern world, which li was built on and runs on oil. Everything you have, from the food you eat at the grocery store, to the house you live in, was produced or transported using oil. Even tesla cars are built with materials that are shipped with oil. There is just no other energy store we have that is as abundant and efficient and versatile as oil at this point. Yes it's caused a bunch of pollution but I think the world is still better for it.

No, it's saying "this source is known for biased corporate propaganda so take that into account when evaluating the content".

#7"the day after his panicky global warming film"
This is a really amateurish attempt to smear Gore and the renewable energy movement in general.
I realize that different groups have different opinions and agendas, but this kind of hit piece is really only going to appeal to those that are already true believers - who will then go on to repeat it. (This is true on both the left and the right - but this article just dripped with unnecessary sneers.)

It's missing some click bait title tho, may I suggest:
"You WONT BELIEVE Whose home is using THIRTY FOUR TIMES the energy of a regular home!!"

#9This could have been summed up with one sentence, "Just like most people on earth today, former VP Al Gore does not always practice what he preaches."

#10Everyone seems totally ok with this, I can't really understand why though?
Back in 2007 he was called on his absurd energy consumption and pledged he was going to do something about it. That right there, in isolation, is fine - he got busted doing (literally) the exact thing he was telling everyone else not to do and said he was going to fix it. Cool no worries, nice one Al.
Since then, not only is it still happening but it's gotten an order of magnitude worse AFTER he's taken fairly drastic steps to make his house 'green'.
I mean at the very least, shouldn't we be just a little pissed at him for this?
