Before his film hit theaters, a conservative think tank released a report about energy consumption at his 20-room Nashville, Tenn. home.
“Gore guzzles more electricity in one year than the average American family uses in 21 years,” explained The National Center for Public Policy Research.
And despite Gore spending “an estimated $60,000 to install 33 solar panels,” the green technology only accounted for “5.7% of Gore’s typical monthly energy consumption.”
