I think #84 said it better than I could have.

Not really pertinent. In terms of absolute energy usage, Gore outstrips most of the populace.

Glad to hear that he’s made improvements, but his personal energy consumption is way above average.

He’s a rich guy. He’s got a big house. So the hell what? I live in a small (1200 sq ft) house in the Santa Cruz mountains…single pane glass, non-insulated walls, but a gorgeous view. I probably use more propane and wood keeping my place warm in the winter than most mcmansions down in the valley do. If I had Al’s money, I’d probably have another three or four thousand square feet…and I’d go solar, insulated, etc. to keep the costs and the footprint as small as possible.

People act like Al Gore should live in a yurt.
