Al Gore for VP?
Now, what's really hard to believe is somebody preaching conservation is USING 10% MORE ENERGY than the year before, and 20 times the average home.
That's what is hard to believe. I believe it however and that's what makes anything he says hogwash. You are defined by your actions, and Gore's actions are what defines him and nothing else.
The average person also doesn't do the typical things Al Gore does out of his home. I'm not saying it's right, but to compare him to the average household is unfair. And who's to say that after he installed all of the new equipment that he didn't move more things to his home for work reasons.
You have really got to be kidding me. I'm super cereal.
To compare him to the average household is completely fair. Because the fact remains that if he would share his work related energy consumption with others he would be more efficient and use less.
But he doesn't. Do as I say, not as I do.

My guess is that Al Gore just SLI'd two of the new Nvidia GTX280's. 😛
You're absolutely right, I have no problem what so ever with him using all that power because he probably has a lot of money and can afford it. What I have a problem with is him using all that power and telling me and every other Joe Q. Public average American that we need to cut down on our energy consumption and do more for the environment.

the article didn't need to exaggerate, that was unnecessary. if the average american consumption and emissions is at least a couple earths amount if all people on earth followed the same lifestyle, gores is 20x worse. thats all u need to know. its the little hypocrisies...
if you drive a prius and fly around the globe its pretty much nullified your efforts a couple times over...and at that point theres little ground to stand on pointing fingers at suv driving soccer moms.

Snopes says he works at home, I wonder how much travel he actually does in his daily life.
Might be more fair to compare the average American's energy usage at work and at home, plus add in approximate values based on car fuel consumption.
How many people live in his home? It's a big home with probably large cooling/heating bills.
You can only make an old style house like that so efficient before tearing the whole thing down and starting fresh.
Not saying his energy usage is high, but how high is it compared to other people in his neighbourhood?
