This is what I am talking about doing what you say. Gore has a message and I
believe in that message, but he also has a real problem living up to what he
says and it's rather embarassing.

POWER: GORE MANSION USES 20X AVERAGE HOUSEHOLD; CONSUMPTION INCREASE AFTER
'TRUTH'
Mon Feb 26 2007 17:16:14 ET
The Tennessee Center for Policy Research, an independent, nonprofit and
nonpartisan research organization committed to achieving a freer, more
prosperous Tennessee through free market policy solutions, issued a press
release late Monday:
Last night, Al Gore'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.
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 to 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.
