Al Gore has paid for the renewable energy infrastructure to provide his entire home with electricity.
How can I make this more clear?
I've done the same thing with Greenmax from Enmax.
Infact, my electricity use is so low because I have a small place that I pay for more renewable energy infrastructure than I use. That means some of you chumps are getting wind power thanks to me. That is what we call NEGATIVE carbon dioxide output.
Of course I make up for that by burning natural gas and driving my car among other things.

Considering my home is the size of his bathroom, I'm not sure that comes anywhere close to offsetting the energy he burns in limos and entourages alone. Unless our household electricty consumption is 99% of our CO2 output. Don't think thats the case though.
What of the energy needed to make the furniture to fill a 10,000 sq ft house? Truck it to Al's place? Heat the hottubs? Mow the lawns? (forget watering them, whole other issue).
