7. Al Gore
We’re all aware how much the environment means to us and that we should be extremely careful about our natural resources. No one seemed more committed to environmentalism than former Vice President Al Gore. Reducing the carbon footprint and offsetting global warming was his mission. How is it then that in 2007 reports we have the information that Gore’s 20-room home received nearly a $30,000-a-year energy bill, and used more than 20 times the average kilowatt hours of the national household average? In his defense, the house was both a home and an office, and he was using lots of “green” sources, too. But then again, $30,000?
