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:</span></font></b></strong><br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<strong><b><font face="Courier New"><span style='font-family:"Courier New"'>Last
night, Al Gores global-warming documentary, An Inconvenient Truth,
collected an Oscar for best documentary feature, but the <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:PlaceName
w:st="on">Tennessee</st1:PlaceName> <st1:PlaceType w:st="on">Center</st1:PlaceType></st1:place>
for Policy Research has found that Gore deserves a gold statue for hypocrisy. </span></font></b></strong><br>
<br>
<strong><b><font face="Courier New"><span style='font-family:"Courier New"'>Gores
mansion, [20-room, eight-bathroom] located in the posh Belle Meade area of <st1:City
w:st="on">Nashville</st1:City>, consumes more electricity every month than the
average American household uses in an entire year, according to the <st1:City
w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Nashville</st1:place></st1:City> Electric
Service (NES). </span></font></b></strong><br>
<br>
<strong><b><font face="Courier New"><span style='font-family:"Courier New"'>In
his documentary, the former Vice President calls on Americans to conserve
energy by reducing electricity consumption at home.</span></font></b></strong><br>
<br>
<strong><b><font face="Courier New"><span style='font-family:"Courier New"'>The
average household in <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">America</st1:place></st1:country-region>
consumes 10,656 kilowatt-hours (kWh) per year, according to the Department of
Energy. In 2006, Gore devoured nearly 221,000 kWhmore than 20 times the
national average. </span></font></b></strong><br>
<br>
<strong><b><font face="Courier New"><span style='font-family:"Courier New"'>Last
August alone, Gore burned through 22,619 kWhguzzling 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, Gores average monthly
electric bill topped $1,359. </span></font></b></strong><br>
<br>
<strong><b><font face="Courier New"><span style='font-family:"Courier New"'>Since
the release of An Inconvenient Truth, Gores energy consumption has
increased from an average of 16,200 kWh per month in 2005, to 18,400 kWh per
month in 2006. </span></font></b></strong><br>
<br>
<strong><b><font face="Courier New"><span style='font-family:"Courier New"'>Gores
extravagant energy use does not stop at his electric bill. Natural gas bills
for Gores mansion and guest house averaged $1,080 per month last year. </span></font></b></strong><br>

use, said Tennessee Center for Policy Research President Drew Johnson.</span></font></b></strong><br>
