ad hominem
I stumbled across an interesting piece today from The Tennessee Center for Policy Research. From the article:
[Al] Gore’s mansion, located in the posh Belle Meade area of Nashville, consumes more electricity every month than the average American household uses in an entire year, according to the Nashville Electric Service (NES).
The average household in America consumes 10,656 kilowatt-hours (kWh) per year, according to the Department of Energy. In 2006, Gore devoured nearly 221,000 kWh—more than 20 times the national average.
Gore’s extravagant energy use does not stop at his electric bill. Natural gas bills for Gore’s mansion and guest house averaged $1,080 per month last year.
In total, Gore paid nearly $30,000 in combined electricity and natural gas bills for his Nashville estate in 2006.
At least the smelly hippies who are environmentalists actually live in the woods and eat berries. Their arguments and way of life are at least sequitur. These claims about Mr. Gore sound much worse than Pelosi's "10,000 pounds of carbon dioxide an hour" plane. She didn't request the plane; he owns the mansion and consumes the energy.
