Maybe a geosynchronous orbit over his Montecito mansion? And another one over the Nashville one?

We get data continuously from 300 existing satellites, more than 11,000 ground-based, air-based, sea-based sensors, multiple Internet data streams and, using artificial intelligence, all that information is combined—visible light, infrared, all of the other information that is brought in, and we can now accurately determine where the greenhouse gas emissions are coming from.
And next year we'll have it down to the level of every single power plant, refinery, every large ship, every plane, every waste dump, and we'll have the identities of the people who are responsible for each of those greenhouse gas emission streams.
And if investors, or governments, or civil society activists want to hold them responsible, they will have the information upon which to base their action in holding them responsible.
Obviously the scary thing about Gore’s private spy satellite network is that it’s just one of many assaults on citizens by governments and private billionaires alike, but just for fun, let’s look at this post from Mateen Ellas: “An Inconvenient Truth” to see what sort of person is leading this latest attack:
Back in 2007, Mr. Gore’s main 20 room mansion in Nashville suburbia with its heated swimming pool and attendant pool house, electric gates and natural gas lampposts was consuming energy like there was no tomorrow. According to an investigation by the Tennessee Center for Policy Research, the Gore’s consumed almost 221,000 kWh (kilowatt-hours) at this property in 2006, more than 20 times that of the average household in America. This of course doesn’t include the two other properties owned by Mr. Gore, a penthouse in San Francisco and a farmhouse in Carthage, TN. [to be joined by his Montecito mansion in 2010 - Ed]. When this inconvenient news came to light in 2007, Mr. Gore vowed to change his ways. His spokesperson, Kalee Kreider, was quick to reassure the public that the Gores’ energy use would decline:
“They bought an older home and they’re in the process of upgrading the home. Unfortunately that means an increase in energy use in order to have an overall decrease in energy use down the road.”
Now, after having spent a quarter of a million dollars to make the house more energy-efficient, the verdict is in for 2016. A decade after his consumption of 220,000 kWh, Mr. Gore’s total energy usage for his Nashville mansion in 2016 was 230,899 kWh, roughly the equivalent of 23 average U.S. households. Add to that the unknown consumption of energy at his other two (at least) properties, his use of a private jet to whisk him around the world, his predilection for ground travel by SUV, and we are left with the portrait of an energy superhog.
