NASHVILLE - In the year since Al Gore took steps to make his home more energy-efficient, the former Vice President’s home energy use surged more than 10%, according to the Tennessee Center for Policy Research.

“A man’s commitment to his beliefs is best measured by what he does behind the closed doors of his own home,” said Drew Johnson, President of the Tennessee Center for Policy Research. “Al Gore is a hypocrite and a fraud when it comes to his commitment to the environment, judging by his home energy consumption.”

In the past year, Gore’s home burned through 213,210 kilowatt-hours (kWh) of electricity, enough to power 232 average American households for a month.

In February 2007, An Inconvenient Truth, a film based on a climate change speech developed by Gore, won an Academy Award for best documentary feature. The next day, the Tennessee Center for Policy Research uncovered that Gore’s Nashville home guzzled 20 times more electricity than the average American household.

He's gotta have something going on in that household, either that or his wife/kids/etc. are retarded. You gotta remember he isn't at his own home half the time; he's out making speeches and endorsing people and such.

I like how the article made the statistic 232 homes for a month instead of 19.3 homes per year.

I also find the quote...
Actions speak louder than words, and Gore’s actions prove that he views climate change not as a serious problem, but as a money-making opportunity
...incredibly sleezy. Whatever the circumstances, he has done a lot against global warming, even if it was just a money making thing for him.

Hell, this entire thing is sleezy.

The only thing he has done is push Ethanol on us. Ethanol is LAME. Bio Diesel man. It is in his interest to be an environmentalist. He has his own agenda, imho.

Global Warming is a scare tactic, it's happened forever, and will continue to happen forever.
It's pushed on by environmentalists to get you to stop polluting.

The most ironic thread and comments ever.. You guys seem to be missing the point, imho.

He does done so much work on climate change that he could pour gasoline down the drain and it wouldn't matter because of the great stuff he's done on global warming, who here in this thread has won a nobel peace prize? How about we talk about how the president and his staff fly in around in 10 billion dollar jets, take money from oil companies, and then GET OUR VOTES. This whole "Al Gore is a hypocrite" thing is so ironic.

Ethanol is a horrible idea, its risen food prices extremely. Although Bio Diesel like used grease does get the work done ;)

Did it ever occur to you guys that maybe, you know, there could be a periodic cycle as well as human attributable warming? Honestly, the idea that humans haven't contributed to global warming "because there is a temperature cycle anyway" isn't just fallacious, but also recklessly ignorant

Is the hype in the American media justified? No. Is Al Gore a 'hypocrite'? Probably. Has human activity contributed to warming? Yes. If it hadn't, would this be an excuse to ignore pollution, ocean acidification and the dependence on fossil fuels? No!

Personally, I don't mind using cleaner fuels and cutting down on pollution from sulphur and the like, but when they start pushing useless wind turbines I start getting annoyed.

Plus, there are so many frickin' taxes based on "Green" issues that it gets to the point where you just want them all to shut the F*** up so we can all go back to living our crappy little lives in peace without extra hindrance from the stupid f****** hippies in the government.

Ethanol is LAME.
For fuel in vehicles maybe, but you can do some neat-ass experiments with it :D

So God didn't come back for judgement day. Mother Nature is going to burn our asses now.

Global Warming is fake and Al Gore is an ass for trying to promote it's existence. There's a little thing called January I remember... global warming was pretty lame then.

Global warming might have some good effects you know.. Maybe our childrens will learn from our mistakes and dont think that they can play with nature and expect that there will be no consequences.

If you mean an Environmentalist... Yes, But I do not worship trees.

Really, I live on the Florida coast. My house wouldn't be suburban when the ice caps all melt away. It won't even be Ocean Front, it will be "Ocean" period. My house is predicted to be 15 feet under water!

You know what I hate about people? How they argue about Global Warming. If we all think its going to happen, should be not react against it? We're already switching to alternate fuels, but not anytime soon. Only because the demand is for Oil. Now as for global warming, its going to happen. Get over it.

Either way I don't like that lifestyle choice. You people took away my fun by shutting down the places I used to go play around in.
