Nothing's what it seems. There's more "dirt" in the article on Gore, I recommend reading it.

I just saw on clipmarks several days ago that dirt is actually good for you.

She called Nashville Electric Service (NES), from whom the think tank claimed to have got its numbers. "But electric company spokeswoman Laurie Parker said the utility never got a request from the policy center and never provided them with any information."</DIV></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.newscientist.com/blog/environment/2007/02/gore-v-think-tank-power-consumption-dig.html"><DIV>- The think tank claims that the Gore household used 221,000 kWh in 2006, but the electricity service says that number should be 191,000 kWh.</DIV></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.newscientist.com/blog/environment/2007/02/gore-v-think-tank-power-consumption-dig.html"><DIV>- More to the point, Gore participates in the <A href="http://www.tva.com/greenpowerswitch/green_mainfaq.htm">Green Power Switch</A> programme, which offers clients the possibility of paying a premium to allow the Tennesse power supplier to include renewable energies in its power mix. The programme costs an additional $4 per 150 kilowatt hours and Gore has been purchasing the "green power" for $432 a month since November 2006. So I calculate he is buying 16,200 kWh of green power per month and using, according to NES's 2006 figures, 15,917 kWh.</DIV></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/EB362E92-F46E-4086-ACCE-66CAF7FBDB88/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
