"Using Gore's fresh win as a backdrop, the new report said Gore's energy consumption jumped by about 14 percent in a year. The Gore household averaged 16,200 kWh per month in 2005, and 18,400 kWh per month in 2006.

"The report also said that the Gores' natural gas bills for his mansion and guest house averaged $1,080 per month last year."

What a hypocrite.

This fool uses more ELECTRICITY per MONTH than I've used in the last two YEARS!!!

In addition, it is certain that his jetting around from coast to coast to country to country burns more fuel than I've used in the past TEN years... indeed, possibly more than I've burned in my car for my whole lifetime! In addition, if you included the fuel for his entourage and the puppydog reporters who follow him around, it is likely that it totals more than my whole community requires per year.

Of course there's this wonderful line from his "spokesman" (who burns even more fuel, no doubt): "... the 60- to 70-year-old house is undergoing renovations to add solar panels to reduce consumption off the power grid, and energy-efficient windows have been installed. The home also uses "compact" fluorescent light bulbs and other energy-saving technology,..." ... Johnny come lately to this !!!??? Why, if he is so concerned about "the environment" and his "carbon footprint" did he WAIT SO LONG before doing this?

I'll tell you something else: If you looked down at his mansion in the evenings, I'd bet anybody REAL money that he's got a whole load more lighting in use than I do... in fact, if he's even got ONE FLOODLIGHT on his property, he's probably using more electric for light than I do.

Hypocrite.
