they can always justify their own behavior by pointing

AVERAGE HOUSEHOLD; CONSUMPTION <I>INCREASE</I> AFTER 'TRUTH'<BR>Mon Feb 26
2007 17:16:14 ET <BR><BR>The Tennessee Center for Policy Research, an
independent, nonprofit and nonpartisan research organization committed to
achieving a freer, more prosperous Tennessee through free market policy
solutions, issued a press release late Monday:<BR><BR><BR><BR>Last night, Al
Gore’s global-warming documentary, An Inconvenient Truth, collected an Oscar
for best documentary feature, but the Tennessee Center for Policy Research has
found that Gore deserves a gold statue for hypocrisy. <BR><BR>Gore’s mansion,
[20-room, eight-bathroom] located in the posh Belle Meade area of Nashville,
consumes more electricity every month than the average American household uses
in an entire year, according to the Nashville Electric Service (NES).
<BR><BR>In his documentary, the former Vice President calls on Americans to
conserve energy by reducing electricity consumption at home.<BR><BR>The
average household in America consumes 10,656 kilowatt-hours (kWh) per year,
according to the Department of Energy. In 2006, Gore devoured nearly 221,000
kWh—more than 20 times the national average. <BR><BR>Last August alone, Gore
burned through 22,619 kWh—guzzling more than twice the electricity in one
month than an average American family uses in an entire year. As a result of
his energy consumption, Gore’s average monthly electric bill topped $1,359.
<BR><BR>Since the release of An Inconvenient Truth, Gore’s energy consumption
has increased from an average of 16,200 kWh per month in 2005, to 18,400 kWh
per month in 2006. <BR><BR>Gore’s extravagant energy use does not stop at his
electric bill. Natural gas bills for Gore’s mansion and guest house averaged
$1,080 per month last year. <BR><BR>“As the spokesman of choice for the global
warming movement, Al Gore has to be willing to walk to walk, not just talk the
talk, when it comes to home energy use,” said Tennessee Center for Policy
Research President Drew Johnson.<BR><BR>In total, Gore paid nearly $30,000 in
combined electricity and natural gas bills for his Nashville estate in 2006.
