Al Gore: I'm not as Hypocritical as I Used to Be

According to Fox News, Algore has responded to charges that he uses vastly more energy than the little people do:

Al Gore responded to charges that his house consumes more electricity every month than the average American household uses in an entire year, with the new Oscar winner saying he has taken many steps to reduce the carbon footprint in his home.

The former vice president and former presidential candidate told Thinkprogress.org that he has signed up for 100 percent green power through Green Power Switch, installed solar panels and uses compact fluorescent bulbs and other energy-saving technology. He said he also buys carbon offsets — a service that tries to reduce the net carbon emissions of individuals or organizations indirectly, through proxies that reduce their emissions and/or increase their absorption of greenhouse gases.


So what's the explanation? I'm not as hypocritical as I used to be, so gimme an Oscar?
