My thoughts,
We have to understand Gore isn’t like us, he is a multi-millionaire and he’s living like every other m-m. ie in lavish excess

When we talk about his power consumption should we be comparing it to the average? Or to his peers?

When we talk about the Jo average American we don’t compare his consumption to Arpad poor starving person from India.

It’s kinda the same thing, but then again it’s like Jo average ridiculing Arpad for his over consumption.
