But the TCPR branded him a "hypocrite" in February 2007 after discovering that his eight-bathroom house in the Tennessee city consumed nearly 221,000 kilowatt-hours of electricity in the previous year – more than 20 times the national average.
It says the figures show the Gore residence uses an average of 17,768 kWh per month
By comparison, the average American household consumes 11,040 kWh in an entire year, according to the Energy Information Administration.

Keep up the good work Mr. Gore.  |
2006: Energy use
221,000 kWh per year
2007: 17,768 kWh per month *12 =
213,216 kWh per year.
Al Gore's electriciy use fell 4% from 2006 to 2007.
Basically the title of thread should change to Al Gore marginally reduces his electricity consumption.
