Usage per square foot? I'll certainly concede that he's got above
average consumption (being an ex-VP), but trying to claim he's
average because he lives in a huge house is disingenuous.
On a per sq foot basis, I bet he's much more efficient than a trailer
home. On an energy consumption per person basis he's off
the charts no matter how you count it.

The 100x guess was comparing it to the average world citizen.
And I'm sure plenty of them live in hot humid places....possibly
even worse than Tennessee. ;-)

Lastly, I expect you would concede the point that the Gores are not an
"average" family.


Absolutely.
