House #1
A 20 room mansion (not 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 $2,400. In natural gas alone, this property consumes more� than 20 times the national average for an American home. This house is not situated in a Northern or Midwestern "snow belt" area. It's 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 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.

House #2 George Bush's house.....People had better wake up to the fact the Algore does NOT intend to live by the same standards that he wants to make US live by....I don't like using the word hypocrite but Algore is the definition of it.

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 an arid, 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 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.

HOUSE #1 is outside of Nashville, Tennessee; it is the abode of the "environmentalist" Al Gore.

HOUSE #2 is on a ranch near Crawford, Texas; it is the residence the of the President of the United States, George W. Bush.

An "inconvenient truth" about Al Gore, or what?
Noah, come on, man. Gore just won a Nobel Prize for something he doesn't practice. How does "shooting the messenger" fit here? He shot himself.

And as far as wind power, California tried to put some more windmills in besides the ones in Indio, and the locals shot 'em down because of the lubricant dropping from the propellers and the noise pollution from them. Speaking of lubricant, how does wind power make us less dependent on oil? Machines have to be oiled.

I won't charge you the dollars, but I like my donuts glazed, by the way.

Shooting the messenger doesn't address the problem. The Bush administration still backs the use of unlimited fossil fuel and is even willing to invade other countries to get it. (Yeah..it's not about oil and other fables.) Gore has led a movement to free ourselves from what is essentially a 19th century technology...oil and coal. The Bush administration doesn't want the use of oil and coal to diminish...that would be bad for the oil and coal mafias. Gore is in favor of new industries such as wind and solar and I'll bet a dollar to a donut that most people, given a choice, would prefer clean power sources to polluting power sources. The Bush administration has fought against raising the CAFE standards to increase miles per gallon in the auto industry. Gore has pointedly suggested that raising the CAFE standards would go a long way toward reducing greenhouse gases. He's also on the record as being in favor of alternate fuels to keep the wheels on the road. The Bush administration spent most of the its time in office backing the idea that human activity has nothing to do with climate change...even in the face of overwhelming scientific evidence. Gore began to question using our onion skin thin atmosphere as a dumping ground for pollution and greenhose gases over twenty years ago. The list goes on. The point here being while Gore can get a slap on the side of the head for the home he's owned in for two decades and Bush should get his @ss kissed for being personally 'mo green, that doesn't alter the fact that Gore is right on the issues of pollution and climate change and the Bush Junta and his polluting pals are wrong. I'll give you credit for a darn good smear..at least it's original, but as I said....it doesn't address the issue!

In natural gas alone, this property consumes more than 20 times the national average for an American home.

An "inconvenient truth".

Yes, it is true. I think that we need to stand up for America. Hypocrisy is not a way to prove anything.

An "inconvenient truth".
For those of you asking "what?"

Al Gore won the Nobel Peace Prize for his, well, basically "Environmental Work"
By the looks of his house, do you really think he is concerned about the environment?
Bob, he needs to PRACTICE WHAT HE PREACHES

BOTTOM LINE

exactly! I think this time around, they ran out of people to choose from, either that, or he bribed people to get it. Or maybe its a publicity stunt. I REALLY am pissed off that he won the prize. I was like WTF?! How the hell did he win?! Seriously though, he made NO contributions to society, he's a self-centered egotistical ass****... its all about the money, not about people benefitting. Peace?! What is that anymore?! If anything, he's caused great debates and arguments! 20 times more wasteful than the average american and 20 times more of a douchbag.

An "inconvenient truth".
Shelly: I am not being hateful, I am just putting the truth out there.
Why don't you wake up, go have a cup of coffee.
I didn't go search for this info, it was sent to me in an e-mail.
Putting the truth out there is not being hateful and if you think it is then sounds like you have a little problem.

I didn't know that about Bush's house in Crawford. It just proves how big a hypocrite Gore really is. And he's making money by selling his "credit" to lessen your "carbon footprint" what a joke. You have to admit though he has done a good job of marketing himself.
