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.

Not defending Algore in the least, but this sentence pointed out the author's agenda; 'twould be more accurate to just say ".....10 average homes for the same annual period".

[Alas Babylon!]

Thanks, great post!

I’m cross posting this to today’s Sunday Talk Show Thread (Algore was on Meet the Press today, and told Tom Brokaw that he “was walking the walk” on being environmentally green.

“Al Gore is a hypocrite and a fraud when it comes to his commitment to the environment, judging by his home energy consumption.”

And a liar and a whale.

Heaven only knows how many Megawatts are consumed keeping the Gore kitchen’s vats of sausage gravy and bacon griddles running, feeding the bitter human dirigible.

The Goracle may have a massive “carbon footprint” but all those “carbon credits” he has makes him feel a hell of a lot better about it.

Come on AL, Get with the program you hypocrite

I got my electric bill yesterday and used 20 kwt per day less than last year.

Get on the stick, raise you thermostat to 80'instead of 76' like I did, install ceiling fans, turn down your water heater 15 degrees, turned down my pool filter down 30 minutes less per day, changed most of my light bulbs to the weird shaped ones, and most importantly charged my teenager .50 cents EVERY TIME he leaves a light or fan on

Actually it would be 19.3 homes.
213,210 kWh / 11,040 kWh.

What does one except from an “Elmer Gantry style snakeoil show”?

“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.”

Among the many things we pointed out to our kids while making it through “the inconvenient truth”, was how he was being flown around in near empty jets. How he was driven around in cabs, sometimes with police escort. This hypocrisy being only one thing among all the distortions, emotionalism, drama, politicization, and CONVENIENTLY left out truths in the movie. Notice how all the GW theorists are distancing themselves from Al now, where before he was their brave hero. Poor Al.

Not to worry Reverend algore wrote himself a check for the carbon credits.
If you like $5/gal, Thank Congress.

Al Gore is much like the pope telling people not to seek riches, when he is surrounded by great riches, with poor people in need all around him. Al Gore thinks nothing about conserving power in his own home.
