He owns multiple enormous homes that are not any more energy efficient than basic energystar appliances . When I saw him speak , in town , he took a limousine instead of walkingbikingtaking a prius . Delivered a speech I had watched on video word for word and left . Al Gore was nicer , stuck around , and shook hands . Suzuki owns four properties including two vacation homes within an hour of each other here and people . regularly see him around town just casually eating out of disposable fast food .
