Where The Fees Come From
In 2007 the former vice president Al Gore's house in the state of Tennessee consumed 213,210 kilowatt-hours of electricity. That volume was big enough to be sufficient for powering 232 average American homes for a quite extended period of 30 days. This interesting background information was released by the Tennessee Center for Policy Research the very next day after in February 2007 a documentary film based on a climate change speech that was delivered by Albert Gore got the known award in the nomination of the best documentary feature. But in the next year 2008 the former vice president's home still kept consuming 17,768 kWh per month – over 1,600 kWh more energy per month than the year before even if Gore had told reporters renovations were made to reduce the electricity consumption. Interesting enough that since the time of leaving the Office, Gore's personal wealth in monetary expression kept growing steadily and finally increased by approximately $100 million, while an essential source of that income groiwth was defined as being formed by speaking fees and investments related to global warming worries in society. The Tennessee Center for Policy Research also told the information about Gore's house energy consumption was obtained through a public records request to the Nashville Electric Service. The Tennessee Center for Policy Research is a nonprofit research organization seeking the achievement of prosperous Tennessee state through the implimentation of the ideas of freedom.
