Literally!

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.

Shouldn’t the future energy czar have a better track record with his own energy consumption?
I know, I know. He’s done more for global warming than I have. Blah, blah, blah. Heard it before and I agree with it. His carbon footprint is much bigger than mine will ever be 🙂
