Al Gore and Strippers
Okay, so not the sexy lady-type strippers. This is about strip mining (h/t). More importantly, it's about how Al Gore is profiting at the environments expense, while he travels the globe speaking against such "ills".
Two massive white mountains of leftover rock waste are evidence of three decades of mining that earned Gore more than $500,000 in royalty payments for the mineral rights to his property. [...]
In its last year of full operation in 2002, the Gordonsville-Cumberland mines ranked 22nd among all metal mining operations in the U.S., with about 4.1 million pounds of toxic releases. The top releasing mine, Red Dog Mine in Alaska, emitted about 482 million pounds that year.
