Well, the facts are that he does, in fact run his business from
offices in his house, as does his wife. Throw in the energy demands
for security requirements, etc. and you have a clearly above-average
electricity demand, even for a quaint little 20-room mansion.
Comparing Gore's electricity usage to an average family house is
nothing short of stupid.

Add to that the fact that Gore buys his energy (it's right there in
that FOIA thing) from "green" producers at elevated prices and buys
carbon offsets for the energy he uses, and you're left with the
inescapable fact that Mr. Gore does indeed "walk the walk" where CO2
emissions are concerned. Those who try have tried to use his utility
bill alone while obfuscating the rest of the story to paint him as
some sort of hypocrite are fundamentally dishonest IMHO.
