Big Gay Al Gore- Hypocrite!

Is Al Gore the world's biggest hypocrite? Gore has a right to use the energy he deems necessary. But he doesn't have the right to make his dire claims of global warming and the need to reduce energy use, yet fail to live up to, in any manner at all, his own prescription to "save mankind"! He not only uses enough energy to power 20 homes but actually increased his usage over the last year. Big Gay Al is in an hypocrisy league all his own.

Al Gore’s Personal Energy Use Is His Own “Inconvenient Truth”
Gore’s home uses more than 20 times the national average

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.

Gore’s mansion, 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.

“As the spokesman of choice for the global warming movement, Al Gore has to be willing to walk the walk, not just talk the talk, when it comes to home energy use,” said Tennessee Center for Policy Research President Drew Johnson.

In total, Gore paid nearly $30,000 in combined electricity and natural gas bills for his Nashville estate in 2006.
Personally, I have no problem with Big Gay AL and his massive Carbon footprint - I am not a climate alarmist. But his biggest fans all seem to be mum on the subject. I wonder why?

Al Gore's Energy Use

Sure, he uses a lot of energy, but he also gets them from green sources and buys carbon credits to offset his carbon footprint.

Another non-issue. Try again please.

Re: Big Gay Al Gore- Hypocrite!

I'm not disputing any of this story, but this is pretty old news (Feb. 2007). Any reason to bring it up now? Is Al running for office or something?

Re: Big Gay Al Gore- Hypocrite!

Probably to do with his endorsement of Obama where he spoke about solving climate problems.

It is an issue, he's a hypocrite pure and simple. He's one of those elitest who believes he's entitled to more and that its ok as long as you buy your credits. But that does nothing to reduce emissions which is what he's clamouring for.

Reminds of the days when people would buy indulgences from the church for sin. It doesn't work that way and neither does it work that way where the environment and one's carbon footprint is concerned.

Who is selling those carbon credits that Gore supposedly is buying (don't see any mention of his purchasing carbon credits in your link, BTW)?

A Carbon Credit company Big Al owns.....



Carbon Credits are a farse.

The best thing is to control your use, and do everything you can not to pollute. Carbon Credits are not a replacement for a clean environment.

Re: Big Gay Al Gore- Hypocrite!

So now anyone you don't like is a faggot homo too?

The dictionary called, they want to take your picture for the 'right-wing bigot' entry.

Also, Al Gore has about 20 people in his home and full Secret Service protection. He also runs a pretty large business out of it. His energy bill is actually pretty low considering all that.

Al Gore is Gay.

He lives around this area and the word is out even though he hasn't come out.

Now that he's moved to San Francisco he's pretty much confirmed all of the rumors.

Speaking of Secret Service, one of them spilt the beans privately about Al Gore to somebody I used to work for.

Re: Big Gay Al Gore- Hypocrite!

Umm, ok? But that still doesn't justify the bigoted way in which Alex used the word gay.

Re: Big Gay Al Gore- Hypocrite!

Just like before, I am still wondering how anyone knew how many kwh he uses...unless they intercepted his mail - afterall it is not public knowledge...therefore it is probably what someone "projected" it is.

Sure, right...and wasn't that you outside Plato's on Saturday?

I love how the Secret Service are all carrying tales to every blogger that exists nowadays. We all know how they're notorious for violating their oaths to make points with their right wing girlfriends

I heard about it before I owned a PC.

The agent I'm talking about is married to my former bosses daughter.

I guess he must have been trying to impress her.


By the way, what is Plato's and why do you know were it is?

Are you Gay?

Can't you tell that Al is Gay? Whenever he talks it sounds like air escaping. He has this strange way of exaggerating his THs and Ss.

Yes Al has a penchant for buggery but when he was a Senator he and Tipper made sure Tennessee couldn't carry XXX Satellite broadcasts.

What hypocrisy.
