according to snopes, himself and Tipper work from said house. so that yearly energy consumption is comprised of both at-home and at-work usage. so he uses 1776 kWh per month. thats probably only $200 or so in electric bills every month 😛

AND if the outright lying in the articl weren't bad enough...
This is just propaganda.
Al Gore already explained that he uses his home as his office and does filming and interviews there. He did a major green renovation which reduced the electric consumption to what it is now.
It is unfair to compare a small film studios electric use to that of the average homeowner.

He's wealthy enough, if he did proper upgrades he would use no energy off the grid, home office or not.
Sad but true.
🙁
What I found most alarming is all the "green" efforts used so much more. The original story broke over a year ago about him using so much and he took a lot of flak for it. He didn't try to do things with his home until his hypocrisy was shown. And after all that, he uses MORE!!??
And I wouldn't say brilliant, knows how to sell ice cubes to an eskimo would be more appropriate.
You're right, spidey. I'm using the term 'brilliant' strictly in the business sense.
And why worry? Gore is a lot like Slick; You could have the guy on videotape robbing a bank and we'd have a board full of liberals telling us all the great things Al was going to do with that money.

He's managed to make it fashionable/trendy to go "green." Oh, and those poor polar bears... Very clever marketing. Pick something cute and adorable to rally others to your cause. The polar bears are the least of our problems (Before someone calls me a polar bear hater, I do care about the polar bears). He's managed to convince quite a handful of dilettantes who spread the message that "global warming is real." :roll: Yea? No shit? But of course, with them, comes the other extreme...
Not really, I'm not assuming his usage went up because of said measures. The point is after all these actions his usage still went up, which means his overall consumption went up (when it clearly was supposed to go down after the criticism). That makes him more than a hypocrite, that makes him a tool.
I can understand weather climate to ones energy consumption, what I can't understand nor forgive is USING MORE ENERGY in face of different weather for the year.
It's not that difficult to take note that it's really hot out and to conserve energy you take active measures in your behavior. It is clear that Gore does not believe or practice in that which he preaches.
