| A Tale of Two Houses-An 'inconvenient truth'?? House #1 A 20 room mansion (including 8 bathrooms) heated by natural gas. Add on a pool (and a pool house) and a separate guest house, all heated by gas. In one month this residence consumes more energy than the average American household does in a year. The average bill for electricity and natural gas runs over $2400. In natural gas alone, this property consumes more than 12 times the national average for an American home. This house is not situated in the Northern or Midwestern 'Snow Belt' area. It is in the South. House # 2 Designed by an architecture professor at a leading national university. This house incorporates every 'green' feature current home construction can provide.. The house is 4,000 square feet (4 bedrooms) and is nestled on a high prairie in the American southwest. A central closet in the house holds geothermal heat-pumps drawing ground water through pipes sunk 300 feet into the ground. The water (usually 67 degrees F.) heats the house in the winter and cools it in the summer. The system uses no fossil fuels such as oil or natural gas and it consumes one-quarter of the electricity required for a conventional heating/cooling system. Rainwater from the roof is collected and funneled into a 25,000 gallon underground cistern. Wastewater from showers, sinks and toilets goes into underground purifying tanks and then into the cistern. The collected water then irrigates the land surrounding the house. Surrounding flowers and shrubs native to the area enable the property to blend into the surrounding rural landscape. ... Now the 'good' part ... House #1 is outside of Nashville, TN; it is the 'humble' abode of the infamous 'environmentalist', Al Gore .. HOUSE # 2 is on a ranch near Crawford, TX; it is the residence of the President of the United States, George W. Bush. An 'inconvenient truth'?? I sure hope this gets passed to everyone!

| Wow, that is crazy. What a freaking hypocrite! If he wants us to follow along with the green movement that he helped create, shouldn't he be setting an example? Thanks for checking it out on snopes. Kudos to W. As for the michelle malkin link, I didn't know that witch was still around. I was kind of wishing she would just go away after she was to psycho to even appear on the O'Reilly show. |
