Gore has been criticized for excessive home energy usage at his residence in
Tennessee. His electricity usage is reportedly 20 times higher than the average
American household.

Senator Inhofe told Gore at the hearing. There are hundreds of thousands of
people who adore you and would follow your example by reducing their energy
usage if you did. Dont give us the run-around on carbon offsets or the
gimmicks the wealthy do.
It has been reported that many of these so-called carbon offset projects would have
been done anyway. Also, carbon offset projects such as planting trees can take
decades or even a century to sequester the carbon emitted today. So energy usage
today results in greenhouse gases remaining in the atmosphere for decades, even with
the purchase of so-called carbon offsets.Senator Inhofe asked Gore, Are you willing to make a commitment here today
by taking this pledge to consume no more energy for use in your residence
than the average American household by one year from today?
Senator Inhofe then presented Vice President Gore with the following "Personal
Energy Ethics Pledge":
As a believer:
-that human-caused global warming is a moral, ethical, and spiritual issue
affecting our survival;
-that home energy use is a key component of overall energy use;
-that reducing my fossil fuel-based home energy usage will lead to lower
greenhouse gas emissions; and
-that leaders on moral issues should lead by example;
I pledge to consume no more energy for use in my residence than the average
American household by March 21, 2008.
