Add to that the fact that he uses natural gas for his heating also, so it's not like the electricity use is so high due to using it for heat.

And this is the guy selling everyone "carbon offsets". You know, those somewhat ethereal things that are the current way to make the average american feel better about themselves.

Best scam artist EVAR!
