How does HE get electric for 6 cents per KwH ?? What type of "sweetheart deal" is that? This should be investigated also; using his power to get power at half price. My last bill was $0.13/KwH (in Dallas TX, and that is cheaper than what most people get it for). Is power so cheap where he is at? Why don't they put it on the open grid w/ options trading and drive the price up 4x!

Who is "Bush Jr."?

A non-sequitur does not a valid argument make.

Gore’s average monthly electric bill topped $1,359. Unconscionable? No. For some reason that doesn't seem like a lot. Let me define "unconscionable" for you: if you were to spend $40,000,000 on a party during wartime, that would be unconscionable. Kind of like Bush Jr. did awhile back.

Wow talk about hypocrisy and idiocy in just forty-seven words.

$1,359/mo. IS astronomical. To believe that it isn't proves either you are an idiot or a bald-face liar. That electric bill is more than the average American mortgage. Gore has a right to use the energy he deems necessary but the right he doesn't have is to make his dire claims of global warming and the need to reduce energy use but fails to live up to, in any manner at all, his prescription to save mankind. He not only uses enough energy to power a couple blocks worth of homes but actually increased his useage over the last year. He is in a hypocrisy league all his own.

And the canard about "Bush Jr." holding a $40,000,000 party convention during the midst of a war? A majority of that money is raised through individual contributions and corporate sponsorship. You know, the same sources the Democrats used when they held their bash in Boston in 2004 in the middle of a war. And if per chance you are referring to inauguration festivities held in January of 2005 the cost was not $40 million and again the vast majority is money raised through individual/corporate resources. If Obama wins are you and your ilk going to cancel inauguration festivities or will you justify the expense by beating a quick retreat from Iraq?

Your logic/beliefs are comfortably in the realm of pathetic moonbat-ism.

That argument makes no sense because if he was trying to lower his usage, it would still have gone down, wouldn't it? Or, at the very least, stayed level from last year? After all, Tennessee isn't the Arctic Circle! His winter COULDN'T have been so bad that usage went up on TOP of all the green improvements!

and I thought it was the increased air conditioning costs to cool the increasing hot air (CO2?) inside the house.

BTW- Gore doesn't buy carbon credits, it's part of his benefits package from GIM, they pay it for him on top of his salary.  

So basically Gore sucked up power from an additional 20+ American homes just to keep the lights on.  And everyone wonders why fuel prices are going up?  The energy hog is slurping up as much as possible creating a shortage in the process.  Does anyone at this point now disagree that the rich represented by Al Gore use half of the residential electricity of the US??????  GET OFF THE ELECTRIC GRID AL GORE.  

This is on top of air carriers having to cut back flights and stop service to cities because energy hogs like Al Gore flying in their private jets are driving up the price of energy by their frivolous usage.  Something has to give and I'm not reducing my standard of living just so Al Gore can consume more than twenty times I do!!  The Democrats want a tax, we will give them a tax, The Excess Energy Consumption Tax designed specifically to cut Al Gore's consumption down to OUR level of consumption.

 Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid, starving the poor one gallon of ethanol at a time. Fill your tank with E85 and cull a village.  

That's what I was wondering. I could cool my home with my refrigerator and leave every single light on 24/7, and I wouldn't come anywhere near 17,768 kWh a month. That's 113 times what I used last month.

With that kind of usage the local authorities should look into the possibility of Al growing lot's of  weed. Grow lights would use that kind of energy, but not much else (at least what would make any sense).

Do you actually read the AGW articles on this site, or do you just know someone who knows someone that just says they do.

Yep IPCC is the child of the UN. That wonderful group that gave us food for oil.

BTW Science is about facts. Not spin.

How could the IPCC possibly be wrong? Glad you asked.

rc - You are correct to use the word, opinion. I hope you read the article linked below.

From John Coleman's June 14th article:

On May 20th, a list of the names of over thirty-one thousand scientists who refute global warming was released.  Thirty-one thousand of which 9,000 are Ph.ds.  Think about that.  Thirty-one thousand.  That dwarfs the supposed 2,500 scientists on the UN panel.

It has already been answered. In Tennesee, utility bills are public record.

[TCA 10-7-301(6)]

3 ...
In accordance with state law, the following is an example of utility records
subject to public inspection:

CUSTOMER RECORDS:

a)
Customer bills and usage records;

b)
Customer mailing lists;

c)
Customer payment delinquencies, cut-offs and payment histories.

 

Let's see, I think that would be a lag load, right?

 Never heard of them, but then I doubt they know me either. The link asked for $, I lost interest almost as fast

I don't know about grassfire.org, but the Media Research Center is the parent of a popular media bias site called....

NEWSBUSTERS!

D'oh!

Just a fancy way of saying "I can use more because I can pay for it!"

A couple weeks ago Barbara Boxer said (paraphrasing) we wouldn't leave our kids locked in a hot car, so why would we leave them locked in a hot world?

Good grief...if you take Gore's carbon offets solution...it's OK to leave your kid in a hot car, as long as you pay someone else to not leave their kid in a hot car, to "make up for it."

OMG, what will they think of me?
