Al Gore’s Personal Energy Use Is His Own Inconvenient Truth.
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.
Gore’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, Gore’s energy consumption has increased from an average of 16,200 kWh per month in 2005, to 18,400 kWh per month in 2006.
Gore’s extravagant energy use does not stop at his electric bill. Natural gas bills for Gore’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.

So are you just now figuring out he is a hypocrite?
This pissed you off, and you decided to post about it?
Of course it is not limited to liberals!! In general politicians are hypocrites.
How can you tell when a politician is lying? His lips are moving!!
This should be a huge red flag to everyone that global warming is a scam!!
Oh It’s real, and caused by the sun, with minimal effect from mankind!!
But if we make documentaries, blame it on man’s pollution, we can get the american people to accept a new tax on how many miles we drive, and how much electricity we consume!! Except of course politicians and the wealthy!!
Pay that new tax, that will stop the planet from heating up!!!
(from South Park) Thank you Al Gore!!
Don’t you know, conserving energy and accepting limitations on our lifestyle is for us the masses to accept, he is a former VP he doesn’t have to accept such trivial constraints on his life!!
Do as he says not as he does!!!
Fuck Al Gore and fuck Cheney and Bush too!! Bunch of lying assholes!!
