If Gore was really that concerned, he could easily have geothermal, combined with solar energy, and possible a wind tower.
He is adding solar panels, BTW, according to a spokesperson.
An Inconveniently Easy Headline: Gore's Electric Bills Spark Debate - The New York Times
For their part, Mr. Gore’s representatives do not deny that the house is exactly that. They simply argue that energy conservation is about establishing life balances. From The A.P. today:
Gore spokeswoman Kalee Kreider said: “Sometimes when people don’t like the message, in this case that global warming is real, it’s convenient to attack the messenger.”
Kreider said Gore purchases enough energy from renewable energy sources such as solar, wind and methane gas to balance 100 percent of his electricity use.
Gore, who owns homes in Carthage, Tenn., and in the Washington area, has said he leads a “carbon-neutral lifestyle.” To balance out other carbon emissions, the Gores invest money in projects to reduce energy consumption, Kreider said.
Also, here is Kieth Olberman's short explanation of Gore's energy bill:

The story only appears ironic when one doesn't have all the facts.

Re: A few facts, whether you like 'em or not
Don't forget, it's more expensive for the Gore's to purchase their power from "green" sources.
