I do find his massive energy usage really hypocritical considering what he has taken up as his main cause, but the actual fact that his energy went up doesn't mean that his changes didn't work.. it just means that the friggin idiot went and started using more electricity.

My electric bill changed from month to month. Here's an example on a less grand scale than Gores:

I replaced all the lighting in my house with CFLs. Being the moron I am.. I was always conscious of the fact that I had replaced my bulbs.. and as such I did not really reach to turn them off right away as I did with my standard incandescent bulbs. The result.. my bill was about $15-20 higher the next month from leaving lights on.

Yes I did take measures to save power, but it was my own stupidity that made the bill go up.

So for all people that are looking to go green or save money/energy... don't let this article deter you from making some changes.

For all those people that looked up to gore and thought he was great for what he was trying to do for the enviorment.. please take a gander and look at what an idiot the guy is. Actually I can't call him an idiot as I'm sure he is intelligent. We'll just say that he lacks common sense/goes against his own goals and it has proven itself here.
