ymarkovУ Эллочки была нешуточная война с Вандербильдихой. А у меня - нечто похожее с бывшим вицеь-президентом США Альбертом Гором-младшим. Поставив себе солнечные батареи, он обогнал меня в плане принятия мер экономии энергии... и всё-таки я впереди!
Energy Guzzled by Al Gore’s Home in Past Year Could Power 232 U.S. Homes for a Month
Gore’s personal electricity consumption up 10%, despite “energy-efficient” home renovations
NASHVILLE - In the year since Al Gore took steps to make his home more energy-efficient, the former Vice President’s home energy use surged more than 10%, according to the Tennessee Center for Policy Research.
“A man’s commitment to his beliefs is best measured by what he does behind the closed doors of his own home,” said Drew Johnson, President of the Tennessee Center for Policy Research. “Al Gore is a hypocrite and a fraud when it comes to his commitment to the environment, judging by his home energy consumption.”
In the past year, Gore’s home burned through 213,210 kilowatt-hours (kWh) of electricity, enough to power 232 average American households for a month.

Date: 2008-06-18 11:52 pm (UTC)I too think that the comparison should be with a compatible house (in a similar geographic area preferably) and the month-to-year part actually makes it look like dirty tactics. and this while I tend to agree with the conclusions ;)
On the other hand CBS does claim that Gore uses more in a month than his average neighbors in a year. While an order of magnitude difference, it is not clear that this comparison is completely fair and accurate either, but it is not quite as bad. Of course being such a leader on energy issues he could try to do better (at least as well as his renegade opponent, or better).
