Al Gore: The 22,619 Kilowatt-Hour Per Year Fraud
February 27, 2007
Former Vice President (and global warming aficionado) Al Gore deserves
an award for hypocrisy, says the Tennessee Center for Policy Research.
The group, which studied Gore's electric and natural gas consumption,
says his mansion in Belle Meade area of Nashville "consumes more
electricity every month than the average American household uses in an
entire year."
In his documentary, An Inconvenient Truth, Gore urges Americans to
conserve energy by reducing electricity consumption at home, the group
noted.
"The average household in America consumes 10,656 kilowatt-hours (kWh)
a year, according to the Department of Energy. In 2006, Gore devoured
nearly 221,000 kWh-more than 20 times the national average," the
Tennessee Center for Policy Research said in a news release.
Last August alone, Gore burned through 22,619 kWh -- consuming more
than twice as much electricity in one month as the average American
family uses in an entire year. Gore's average monthly electric bill
topped $1,359, the research group said.
Likewise, the natural gas bills for Gore's mansion and guest house
averaged $1,080 a 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, the Tennessee Center for
Policy Research said.
Tired of democrat hypocrisy when it comes to ethics, war, the
environment and racial tolerance?
