In powering his home, Al Gore still greatly outpaces most Americans in energy consumption. The findings were shocking:
• The past year, Gore's home energy use averaged 19,241 kilowatt hours (kWh) every month, compared to the U.S. household average of 901 kWh per month.
• Gore guzzles more electricity in one year than the average American family uses in 21 years.
• In September of 2016, Gore's home consumed 30,993 kWh in just one month – as much energy as a typical American family burns in 34 months.
• During the last 12 months, Gore devoured 66,159 kWh of electricity just heating his pool. That is enough energy to power six average U.S. households for a year.
• From August 2016 through July 2017, Gore spent almost $22,000 on electricity bills
• Gore paid an estimated $60,000 to install 33 solar panels. Those solar panels produce an average of 1,092 kWh per month, only 5.7% of Gore's typical monthly energy consumption.
No matter how the numbers are viewed, Al Gore uses vastly more electricity at his home than the average American – a particularly inconvenient truth given his hypocritical calls for all Americans to reduce their home energy use.
The Data
All information included in this report was acquired through open records requests and phone calls to NES, the public electric utility for the Gore property and much of the Nashville area.
The records supplied by NES provide thorough information about Gore's home energy consumption – including kWh consumed, the amount of energy produced by solar panels on the property, money donated to the Green Power Switch program and the billing charges associated with the property's electricity usage.

Do as I say, not as I do.
Al Gore, the blowhard!
Lock him up and place him in Gitmo’.

Gross lying, criminal hypocrisy. Welcome to the DemocRats. Nothing new here, move along folks...
Lock him up in his lock box.
More proof that “global warming” is a total scam. If the people pushing it really believed it, they wouldn’t live as they do.
Gitmo uses less energy to run the entire complex than that to run Al Gore’s lavish lifestyle.

ManBearPig is an abomination.
0is a maniac.
It would be interesting to find out what his electric Bill is in $$$.
We could then figure out how economical that $60k was for solar panels since it only provides 5.7% of his electricity.
I’ll wager a guess that the rest of his electric bill is probably close to that $60k. So his 5.7% would cost as much as the remaining 94.3%.
Sustainability Ping....
The MSM should be called out, as well, for their hypocrisy in giving Gore credibility and status.
Yes, it may be true, but his leadership on global warming more than makes up for any energy he uses to make himself comfortable and fit to lead this most important movement. Don’t think for a moment that he actually enjoys living in mansions or using jetting around the world to deliver his message. I’m sure he’d much prefer to live in a two-room flat if only it were possible.
Sometimes high energy bills can be due to growing pot in the basement.
Lolol-likely suspicion!!!!!! Lol
Cut the power lines to his house.
Make him live his lies.
