A look at current events from the point of a view of a Conservative Evangelical Christian who stands firmly on the Word of God (that's the Bible for those of you at Berkley) and stands behind the Constitution of the United States of America. So grab yourself a big cup of java, kick back in your chair and enjoy another member of the "vast right wing conspiracy" making his voice heard.

An Inconvenient - Inconvenient Truth



And that truth is, if Algore spent as much time trying to curb his own "abuse" of the environment as he does telling us we need too...we may actually see some improvement.

You see not only is the former VP flying private planes and driving in big SUV's and limo's to his numerous speaking engagements that i'm sure he is paid way too much for...he is also using about 20 times the amount of energy for his home in TN that the average home uses. In fact, reports show that his energy consumption has risen since the release of his Oscar winning comedy...what? really? It was a documentary? No way!
Anyway reports show that Algore's home energy usage has increased since the release of his mocumentary "An Inconvenient Truth". Notice the following stats:

Nashville Electric Service/Gore House

2006 .............................................................2005
High 22619 kWh Aug – Sept ..................High 20532 kWh Sept-October
Low 12541 kWh Jan - Feb .......................Low 12955 kWh Feb-Mar
Average: 18,414 kWh per month ..........Average: 16200 kWh per month

Bill amounts
2006 ............................................................2005
$895.60 (low) ............................................$853.91 (low)
$1738.52 (high) ........................................$1461 (high)
$1359 (average) .......................................$1157 (average)

Nashville Gas Company
Main House 2006 ...................................2005
$990 (high) ..............................................$1080 (high)
$170 (low) ................................................$200 (low)
$536 (average) ........................................$640 (average)

Guest House/Pool House
2006 .........................................................2005
$820 (high) .............................................$1025 (high)
$70 (low) .................................................$25 (low)
$544 (average) .......................................$525 (average)

So that is roughly about $1200 a month for utilities for the above 10000 square foot home. Most people can't even afford to pay $1200 a month for a house and can only dream of a house over 2000 square feet...and he pays that each month just in utilities!

According to the Tennessee Center for Policy Research, "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." What an example Mr. VP...you truly are a pillar!
Of course, his claim is that it is "Carbon Neutral"...but even that doesn't compensate for the amount of wasted energy he uses to heat/cool a house that i'm sure is fit for someone who thinks he should have been President.

Kalee Kreider, a chief liar...i mean spokes person for Algore told Fox News in a phone interview, in response, "You can't just look at a month's utility bills, or a year's utility bills and understand a man's life." She also said that Gore's message is consistent with his lifestyle. He has said that families and organizations are going to use different amounts of energy, and they should first determine their carbon footprint — the overall energy usage in terms of carbon emissions — and do their best to reduce it.
And she is right, Algore's message is and has always been one of hypocrisy...which is the norm for the liberal left. I wouldn't expect anything less from the Gore camp, or anyone affiliated with them, to say one thing and do another.
