The Electric Al Gore

National Review

 Since taking steps to make
his home more environmentally-friendly last June, Gore devours an average of
17,768 kWh per month – 1,638 kWh more energy per month than the year before the
renovations. By comparison, the average American household consumes 11,040 kWh
in an entire year, according to the Energy Information Administration. The cost
of Gore’s electric bills over the past year topped $16,533.

Today's Washington Post notes, "As people filed
out of the hall, three black cars waited for Gore and his entourage. A young
woman walked up to the first one, a Lincoln Town Car, and stuck a handwritten
note on the windshield: 'I wish I were a Prius.'"

A 2008 Lincoln Town Car gets 15 miles per gallon in
the city, 22 on the highway.
