Back in February of ’07, we posted a piece reporting that the AlGore mansion in Nashville consumed over twenty times the electricity of the average American household– using in a month more than most homes use in a whole year. The original author of the report, which appeared on Drudge at the time, Drew Johnson of the Tennessee Center for Public Policy, even appeared on MTNP radio to discuss this little bit of hypocrisy revealed the day after the global warming profiteer collected an Oscar for his famed propaganda film, An Inconvenient Truth, which perfectly described what we learned about his personal committment to the cause that makes him rich…
Well, it seems that AlGore finds himself once again the object of a little iconvenient truth: while he would have the rest of us shivering in the dark, there’ll be no such thing for him. Once again, Drew Johnson was on the case and, via Mathew Hurtt’s blog, we find out that Gore’s name is, indeed, hypocrisy:
As most of you know, just over two years ago, my organization, the Tennessee Center for Policy Research, found that the knuckleheaded leader of the global warming alarmism movement, Al Gore, consumes 20 times more electricity in his home than the average American household.
Since Earth Hour was recognized today, Saturday, March 28 from 8:30-9:30pm, I thought I’d see how the hypocritical, fear-mongering former Veep was celebrating at his home.
I pulled up to Al’s house, located in the posh Belle Meade section of Nashville, at 8:48pm – right in the middle of Earth Hour. I found that the main spotlights that usually illuminate his 9,000 square foot mansion were dark, but several of the lights inside the house were on.
In fact, most of the windows were lit by the familiar blue-ish hue indicating that floor lamps and ceiling fixtures were off, but TV screens and computer monitors were hard at work. (In other words, his house looked the way most houses look about 1:45am when their inhabitants are distractedly watching “Cheaters” or “Chelsea Lately” reruns.)
The kicker, though, were the dozen or so floodlights grandly highlighting several trees and illuminating the driveway entrance of Gore’s mansion.
I [kid] you not, my friends, the savior of the environment couldn’t be bothered to turn off the gaudy lights that show off his goofy trees.
The picture above is an example of the floodlights that were burning through Earth Hour, which is supposedly “lights off” time for those who get their rocks off by telling children that they will be burned alive because of the use of ventilators, refrigerators and cars. (The “312” is his address – 312 Lynnwood Blvd.)
If you’re unfamiliar, Earth Hour is where socialists and patchouli-dabbing tree-hugging hippies unite to dismiss electricity, fossil fuels and the modern conveniences that allow for historically unrivaled prosperity, longevity, health and quality of life throughout the world.
Perhaps Al thought that participating in Human Achievement Hour would be more fun, and more suitable to his sophisticated tastes.
Why this guy continues to get a pass from the masses is beyond me…
Really, when you consider the phoniness of Al Gore up front and on full display for all to see, it’s a sad commentary on America in general.
