Inconvenient Hypocrasies
The Tennessee Center for Policy Research reports that Al Gore’s personal carbon footprint has increased 10%, at least in terms of the electrical usage in his home:
Since taking steps to make his home more environmentally-friendly last June, Gore devours an average of 17,768 kWh per month –1,638 kWh more energy per month than before the renovations – at a cost of $16,533. By comparison, the average American household consumes 11,040 kWh in an entire year, according to the Energy Information Administration.
What gives Al Gore the right to pontificate about global warming and other environmental issues when he himself causes more damage to the environment than the average American? Shouldn’t Al Gore take a cue from someone like Ed Begley Jr. who walks the walk while talking the talk.
