Al Gore's Personal Electric Use Up 10% 06-17-2008
In the year since Al Gore took steps to make his home more energy-efficient, the former Vice President"s home energy use surged more than 10%, according to the Tennessee Center for Policy Research.
"A man"s commitment to his beliefs is best measured by what he does behind the closed doors of his own home," said Drew Johnson, President of the Tennessee Center for Policy Research. "Al Gore is a hypocrite and a fraud when it comes to his commitment to the environment, judging by his home energy consumption."
In the past year, Gore"s home burned through 213,210 kilowatt-hours (kWh) of electricity, enough to power 232 average American households for a month.
In February 2007, An Inconvenient Truth, a film based on a climate change speech developed by Gore, won an Academy Award for best documentary feature. The next day, the Tennessee Center for Policy Research uncovered that Gore"s Nashville home guzzled 20 times more electricity than the average American household.
After the Tennessee Center for Policy Research exposed Gore"s massive home energy use, the former Vice President scurried to make his home more energy-efficient. Despite adding solar panels, installing a geothermal system, replacing existing light bulbs with more efficient models, and overhauling the home"s windows and ductwork, Gore now consumes more electricity than before the "green" overhaul.
Since taking steps to make his home more environmentally-friendly last June, Gore devours an average of 17,768 kWh per month "1,638 kWh more energy per month than before the renovations " at a cost of $16,533. By comparison, the average American household consumes 11,040 kWh in an entire year, according to the Energy Information Administration.
In the wake of becoming the most well-known global warming alarmist, Gore won an Oscar, a Grammy and the Nobel Peace Prize. In addition, Gore saw his personal wealth increase by an estimated $100 million thanks largely to speaking fees and investments related to global warming hysteria.
"Actions speak louder than words, and Gore"s actions prove that he views climate change not as a serious problem, but as a money-making opportunity," Johnson said. "Gore is exploiting the public"s concern about the environment to line his pockets and enhance his profile."
The Tennessee Center for Policy Research, a Nashville-based free market think tank and watchdog organization, obtained information about Gore"s home energy use through a public records request to the Nashville Electric Service.

Seems that Algore's idea of "going green" is adding $100 million bucks to his bank account via
ignorance of the general public.

When this guy left his VP post he was worth in the neighborhood of 1.5 million and now he is worth 100 million. How much of that is he donating to charity? My guess Zilch Nada Zip..biggest farce ,hypocrite on Gods Green earth.

I really think he doesn't believe the garbage he's pedalling. Therefore, why should he reduce his carbon footprint if humans don't cause global warming. He's getting rich off the BS, and that is ALL that matters to him! Otherwise, he'd lead by example!!
I really don't like pop figureheads who aren't even expert in the field that they discuss. His handlers won't let actual climatologists who disagree with him anywhere near him because they could have him on the ropes in a matter of seconds.

They're all just a bunch of flat-Earthers anyway. There's nothing they could tell him that would add to the debate. All the REAL scientists are already on-board his gravy train... I mean ... All the real scientists already agree with him.
Algore's Actions Speak...
