Making the effort and doing exactly what he prescribes is what determines whether or not he's a hypocrite, not the success of his attempts.
It's like if said "I support the war in Afghanistan" (and I do), went off to fight there, and got killed before killing a single Taliban fighter. By this logic I'd be a hypocrite too; unless, as I said, somebody can back this up some empiracle evidence, or at least a little explanation.
I believe the hypocrisy is that he's using 17,768KWh a month and is raving about how we need to make changes to improve the enviornment. Yet here he is using nearly twenty thousand kwh a month when the average american household is using 11k a year.

That is the hypocrisy. Not his energy saving tactics but rather the massive energy sink hole that his home is despite his changes. It shows that Al Gore seems indifferent to how much energy he uses but then suggests that we should all do what we can to use less.

Seems Mr. Gore needs to take some more of his own advice.
