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).

In his documentary, the former Vice President calls on Americans to conserve energy by reducing electricity consumption at home.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I pretty much ignore that guy. Politicians are great at saying, "Do as I say, not as I do."

Just wanted to thank you for some thought provoking information.

Absolutely hypocrisy, but he's not the first and won't be the last politician to talk out of both sides of his mouth.

The problem though- would it be better if he did nothing at all? It's like people who say that Oprah Winfrey does what she does because it's a tax write-off. Well, even if it is, how many millions of people are benefiting from her philanthropy? Would it be better if she did nothing?

People's actions can always be judged. The question is, are we willing to put those judgments aside if society is ultimately the beneficiary?

this question is the epitome of hypocrisy considering that all of us comprehend the two are project to hypocrisy and you making us chosen one over the different makes anybody that chooses one over the different a hypocrite.

You left out that Al Gore's money comes from a petroleum company that his father started in Tennessee, he flies around on a private jet, and I'm sure his books are printed on recycled paper.
And people wonder why Tennessee didn't vote for him. It's because we know who he really is.

I think Al Gores hypocrisy is right in line with other hypocritical activist liberals.

OK, he's an asshole, does that change the facts about global warming? I don't care what he does. I wish he would do his part, but that doesn't mean I'm going to stop doing my part because of he's not.

You've already asked this question. So Gore has more house than I do...he also has more responsibilities and obligations. At least he's trying to improve life here, not just -itchin!
