Gore films conservation piece for Oprah Monday, 04 December 2006
(Nashville Tennessean) - Al Gore was at the Lowe's Home Improvement store in Franklin Sunday shooting a spot on energy saving appliances for the Oprah Winfrey talk show.
The former vice president and Tennessee senator led a camera crew through the store, making note of how people can save money on their energy bills and help conserve the planet's natural resources in the process.
With winter approaching, Gore focused on alternative means of heating. He also suggested purchasing a programmable thermostat that can automatically conserve energy when no one is home.
Other products noted include: new gas grills which are more efficient, compact fluorescent lights that can save $40 to $50 in energy costs annually, and Energy Star washing machines that conserve 8,000 gallons of water over the machine's lifetime.
"It's exciting to have Mr. Gore at our store," said Jeff Willis, Lowe's store manager. "And it's good that he's helping people save on their energy bills."
The piece is scheduled to air Dec. 11.
