A family of,say,6 can live *quite* comfortably in a house of,say.2,300 square feet.
Somehow,I see algore and his wide bodied bride living in three houses of 8,000 sq ft each....which would certainly leave a huge "carbon footprint".
Al seems to show up just about everywhere on the planet lately, so he can't be spending much time at home. It must be the the hired help burning all those kws and btus in Nashville.
(When I see the guy on tv, I swear somebody has put a tire valve in his belly button and inflated him to 120 psi)
