    I was wondering, did you just say that to yourself, in the mirror, and magic happened, and it typed itself into the text box? Because it sure seems like you said this to yourself. The facts are the facts. Mr Gore's appetite for energy is only slightly overshadowed by his appetite for which he has quite the reputation. The man expends more than 21Xs the energy in a years as the average family in Nashville. That isn't easy to do, mind you. His hypocrisy is as boundless as your willful denial. Fun to watch, for sure.

    It's amazing that Al Gore gets all his energy from renewables, considering the fact that his family mansion was built in 1805. It is a historical site, and is open to visitors. Perhaps if you visited, you might change your extremely biased opinion.

    So amazing!

    • The past year, Gore's home energy use averaged 19,241 kilowatt hours (kWh) every month, compared to the U.S. household average of 901 kWh per month.3,4
    • Gore guzzles more electricity in one year than the average American family uses in 21 years.5
    • In September of 2016, Gore's home consumed 30,993 kWh in just one month – as much energy as a typical American family burns in 34 months.
    • During the last 12 months, Gore devoured 66,159 kWh of electricity just heating his pool. That is enough energy to power six average U.S. households for a year.
    • From August 2016 through July 2017, Gore spent almost $22,000 on electricity bills.6
    • Gore paid an estimated $60,000 to install 33 solar panels. Those solar panels produce an average of 1,092 kWh per month, only 5.7% of Gore's typical monthly energy consumption.

    :roflol:Did it ever occur to you that the house you googled doesn't belong to the ex vice president? Or that it's in the wrong state? or, well.... let's just call this one of the best pieces of humor today and call it a day.

    Just think, miners as young as 4 are working in a living hell on cobalt mines in the Congo so the world saviors can drive their electric cars.
