Al Gore’s darkest hour?

Millions of homes around the world went black as clean coal last night to commemorate Earth Hour, but local enviro-hypocrisy watchdog Drew Johnson reports that Nobel laureate Al Gore’s sprawling manse wasn’t one of them.
A peep into the eminent ecological enlightenment guru’s opulent Nashville pad on Saturday night revealed a globe-warming glow of electric incandescence, wrote Tennessee Center for Policy Research president Johnson:
I pulled up to Al’s house, located in the posh Belle Meade section of Nashville, at 8:48pm – right in the middle of Earth Hour. I found that the main spotlights that usually illuminate his 9,000 square foot mansion were dark, but several of the lights inside the house were on.
In fact, most of the windows were lit by the familiar blue-ish hue indicating that floor lamps and ceiling fixtures were off, but TV screens and computer monitors were hard at work. (In other words, his house looked the way most houses look about 1:45am when their inhabitants are distractedly watching “Cheaters” or “Chelsea Lately” reruns.)
The kicker, though, were the dozen or so floodlights grandly highlighting several trees and illuminating the driveway entrance of Gore’s mansion.

Johnson’s TCPR is the group that reported Gore’s rather jolting level of energy use just after the former vice president won an Oscar for his film “An Inconvenient Truth” in 2007.
Last summer the free-market think tank lit him up again with a release alleging that “since Al Gore took steps to make his home more energy-efficient… (his) home energy use surged more than 10 percent.”
