The BS-1Not content with jet setting around the globe or cooling a 10,000 square foot house in Tennessee, the Goracle has taken some of the folding cash that comes with being a climate change profit prophet and plunked it down on an “environmentally friendly” 100-foot houseboat. PJ media’s Steve Gill has more on the “Bio-Solar One.”
What is it they say? “It’d be a lot easier believing in the climate change crisis if those folks running around warning about the crisis started acting like they believed in it.” 17 comments to The BS-1 |

He’ll solve the no-bio-fuel-distribution problem by trucking in his own. That’ll be eco-friendly, right?
2 GPH for a 100-foot boat? Does that sound right to the nautical experts at this site?
One assumes he’ll be drifting very slowly…. I’d be surprised if that thing had so much as a 300hp motor in it.
What is the boat called? The Bloviator?

Sounds like he took a standard enormous houseboat and tacked on some solar panels and a different engine. Way to make a statement there Al.
I wonder if he also made sure that all the parts were produced from recycled materials, using only renewable energy. In fact, the solar panels are coming all the way from Nevada. Wonder if they were sent on biodiesel trucks…
Proof positive that hosssh!t and bullsh!t can easily float when mixed with massive amounts of personal lipid cells and hot air.
Ken & Brian R:
It isn’t even necessarily a bio-diesel only engine. A standard diesel can run off veggie oil/bio-diesel. So he could have just bought a boat with a standard engine, but just called it a bio-diesel engine for PR purposes.
Nice.
@PBS – nice. I guess that’s the power of marketing.
Incidentally, someone in the comments pointed out that AlGore has bought a condo near the San Francisco waterfront. Mighty odd move for someone who really believes that the oceans will start rising Any Day Now.
Well, as long as he keeps the tires properly inflated, he should be saving plenty of energy.
If you look at the photos of that houseboat, its currently plugged into two separate 30 amp recpticles on the dock. No way will the solar panels you could tack on that boat generate that much juice.
One may wonder how many Carbon Credits he’ll need to buy to off-set the footprint his 100′ floating house will call for. Of course, he’ll be buttering his own toast as he’s president of his own Carbon Credit company. BTW, Tipper’s an officer too.
Gulfstream, mansion in Tennnessee, condo in SF (seems appropriate, doesn’t it?) and now 100′ of floating live-aboard. Carbon footprints gone wild, I think!
Two gallons per hour running his genset.
My Marine Trader has twin 210’s and burn 10 gph at 2K rpm. I could use french fry drippings if they were available. We travel at a low sub-orbital speed of 11 kts. So I call BS on the Goreacle houseboat’s burn rate.
This is a classic case of gratuitous consumption in the manner of “do as I say not as I do”. He wants everyone else to make the sacrifices to save the enviroment. Think of the Puppies!!!!111!!! But he’s clearly unwilling to make any sacrifices in his own life.
I’m all for living the lifestyle you want – and if he can afford the TN mansion, the waterfront condo and the big-ass boat – more power to him. But if he’s going to spout off about the sacrifices he expects me to make without even attempting to make his private life look somewhat close to what he believes – he needs to STFU.
Note also, when politicians talk about the superiority of “public service” to private-sector work, that “public service” can bring somebody a pretty affluent lifestyle.
the *moral* superiority of “public service”, I meant to say…
Grew up close to Centerhill…been on that water thousands of times…saw my first and only UFO at 3:00 am while boating 6-8 pound Smallmouths…no way Goreboy can get bio-diesel fuel out there…maybe some moonshine…maybe. The folks in his home state just plain don’t care for his arrogance. He’s not even good at being a hypocrite.
Sam,
Agree 100% with the sentiment re Big Al as Big H, but, cmon brother, an 8lb smallmouth?
Hell, I’ve got more chance of seeing a UFO than catching one that big!
