Al Gore’s Personal Energy Use Is His Own “Inconvenient Truth”
GoreÂ’s home uses more than 20 times the national average
Last night, Al GoreÂ’s global-warming documentary, An Inconvenient Truth, collected an Oscar for best documentary feature, but the Tennessee Center for Policy Research has found that Gore deserves a gold statue for hypocrisy.
GoreÂ’s mansion, located in the posh Belle Meade area of Nashville, consumes more electricity every month than the average American household uses in an entire year, according to the Nashville Electric Service (NES).
In his documentary, the former Vice President calls on Americans to conserve energy by reducing electricity consumption at home.
The average household in America consumes 10,656 kilowatt-hours (kWh) per year, according to the Department of Energy. In 2006, Gore devoured nearly 221,000 kWh—more than 20 times the national average.
Last August alone, Gore burned through 22,619 kWh—guzzling more than twice the electricity in one month than an average American family uses in an entire year. As a result of his energy consumption, Gore’s average monthly electric bill topped $1,359.
Since the release of An Inconvenient Truth, GoreÂ’s energy consumption has increased from an average of 16,200 kWh per month in 2005, to 18,400 kWh per month in 2006.
GoreÂ’s extravagant energy use does not stop at his electric bill. Natural gas bills for GoreÂ’s mansion and guest house averaged $1,080 per month last year.
“As the spokesman of choice for the global warming movement, Al Gore has to be willing to walk the walk, not just talk the talk, when it comes to home energy use,” said Tennessee Center for Policy Research President Drew Johnson.
In total, Gore paid nearly $30,000 in combined electricity and natural gas bills for his Nashville estate in 2006.

It was emailed to me last night. I see someone put it up in another thread. Everyone should see this. This hypocrite has made millions off of stupid americans who believe in this bull shit. I bet his jet goes through more fuel in a month then our boats and tow vehicle's go through in 3 years.

Fricken Jordy...I ws reading this and you stole the words from my mind....
Gore's film won an Oscar, but it was entered in the wrong catagory. It should have been pitted against the cartoon, "Happy Feet", because it is, after all, a cartoon.....Pure fiction, fantasyland, and his actions, (above), prove it.....MP
I want the to be the Republican Ad producer. My first production would be a Global Warming piece in Upper New York on top of a house with 120 inches of snow covering it!
My second piece would be Al Sharpton and his family reunion with his Grand Daddy, Strom Thurman! (Will dig his Azz up for the photo op!)
Then on to Al Gore sitting at a desk in college inventing the internet! Followed by Love Story, the tale of he and Tipper! Followed by his documentary of his private jet use, flying around to save the world!
Then Rev Jackson (what church again?) pounding one of his employees, who then gets pregnant and moves to LA with the Rainbow coalition and draws a $300K plus salary a year!
Memories of Hillary on the TODAY show claiming a "right wing conspiracy" with Bill lieing his azz off w/o perjury charges!
Yea, I could have some fun with that job! Damn!!

Very well said Jordy!!!
Just saw an article in the paper that 60 countries are going to "jointly" study the effects of greenhouse gasses on the polar caps for two years. 60 countries, $350 MILLION dollar grant to study ICE.......Lets see, 60 countries, 350M, gee, I wonder where that 350 Million is going to come from? I'm sure the oil rich middle east deserts will kick in their share. So the people that say there is a "warming" problem, got 350M to see if there is a "warming" problem?? Kinda makes you wonder where the incentive to cry "the sky is falling" is coming from? Hell, for 350M we could come up with something to study. How about the mussels in the river, how many million is that worth?..........Your hard earned tax dollars at work again............
Even if there really is global warming caused by humans it's too late to stop it now anyway, it would be a World Issue, not an American one, because the worlds largest developing nations like China, and India, who are the biggest polluters, are not going to do anything that will hinder their economy to cut emissions...
Global Warming has become a political scare tactic used to get people into power who actually care about other agendas
