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).

Let's not forget that a large part of that 10,000 square feet is made up of two offices, complete with staff, computers, and so on. I'm not saying it isn't excessive, but let's not get out of control with the furniture and hot-tubs speculation.
This attack came from a right wing think tank that is trying to attack Gore's message. They're doing it by attacking him. That shows how weak their message really is. For me, that's enough to dismiss this stuff entirely, especially given that they presented it in a highly misleading way.
