If you watched the Oscars Sunday then you saw, of all people, Al Gore win one of the shiney statues. His documentary film "An Inconvenient Truth," chronicles his campaign against global warming; something he has been very passionate about for years. The next day, the Tennessee Center for Policy Research issued a statement saying Gore was not doing enough to reduce his own electricity consumption. The group disputes that global warming is a serious problem.
"We wanted to see if he was living by his own recommendations and walking the walk," said think tank president Drew Johnson.
Utility records show the Gore family paid an average monthly electric bill of about $1,200 last year for its 10,000-square-foot home.
The Gores used about 191,000 kilowatt hours in 2006, according to bills reviewed by The Associated Press. The typical Nashville household uses about 15,600 kilowatt-hours per year.
The group said that Gore used nearly 221,000 kilowatt hours last year and that his average monthly electric bill was $1,359. Johnson said his group got its figures from Nashville Electric Service. - time.com
Now that sounds pretty inconvenient to me Mr. Gore

Right on target. By his logic, it's up to all of the evil corporations and non-millionaires out there to change the environment, not the privileged few. Al Gore is an absolute joke, and only in Hollywood's self-gratuitous spotlight could he shine.
