What do you think about this comparison?

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 $2400. 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 hol ds 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 of the President of the United States , George W. Bush.. An 'inconvenient truth'. So much for MR Global warming Protector of the environment!!!

Al Gore is a shyster. His "carbon footprint" is huge. When Gore flies his in his jet he produces as much carbon as 30 cars. So when he flies from the east coast to the westcoast it's the same as a caravan of 30 cars flying the same distance. He say's he offsets his footprint by puchasing carbon shares however he is profiting from the same shares because he purchases them from himself. Gore buys his carbon off-sets from himself--the Generation Investment Management LLP, "an independent, private, owner-managed partnership established in 2004 with offices in London and Washington, D.C." of which he is both chairman and founding partner. Al Gore has placed himself as the pope of a new religion which has its basis in old fashioned pagan earth worship.
I got that sent to me this am as well, it just goes to show how way of base the liberals are and how one sided the liberal media is like CNN,
So?
Not only is Gore a hypocrite; but, he's also stupid enough to be hypocritical about a myth.
wow i am shocked i would think he would at least spend a bunch of his nobel peace prize on solar panels to negate some of his power use
Algorythym is a phony baloney, a typical liberal Democrat who has a "do as I say, not as I do mentality". They live as monarchies do, the people suffer while they live in luxury, yet are told they have to share with their fellow man.
go to factcheck.org and find out the real comparison instead of doing a fix news feature
and your home? And where did you get your info Fox news the unfair and unbalanced news source?
It's old news,but that doesn't change that it's also a fact. Al Gore(ManBearPig/The Goracle) is a Hypocrite of the highest order. But I ask,when has any idea from the left been based on rationality and facts? Answer,Never. So why should all the Global Warming hype be any different? Just as Gun Control was never about stopping crime,but was about control,so too is all the Global Warming BS. Gore knows that as well,he knows his home and cars aren't heating up the Earth,just as he knows yours aren't. The difference is he has no intention of changing his habits,just yours,in a word Control. YTP
Sad, but true, mostly.
I REALLY LIKE IT !!!! . Democrats / Blamers ... I have not seen even one attempt for anyone to ... TRY to explain this ... 04/13/08 - President Bush Job Approval RCP Average Approve 31.0% Disapprove 65.5% Spread -34.5% Congressional Job Approval (DEMOCRATICALLY CONTROLLED) ********** RCP Average Approve 22.0% DISAPPROVE 70.0% ********** Spread -48.0% . Democrats have to recognize that since the 73rd Congress in 1933, ... for a MAJORITY of THE LAST 65 YEARS, ... Democratic Houses of Representatives and Democratic Senates have CONTROLLED the nation and the President. A TOTAL of 38 Sessions with Democrats in CONTROL for 28 of those! WE need to inform/TELL our political representatives that WE NEED TO PASS a Constitutional Amendment for the LINE ITEM VETO. This will keep the SPECIAL INTEREST GARBAGE from being attached to valuable legislation. If Congress wants to give the president that power, they will have to pass a constitutional amendment, Supreme Justice John Paul Stevens said. "If there is to be a new procedure in which the president will play a different role in determining the text of what may become a law, such change must come not by legislation but through the amendment procedures set forth in Article V of the Constitution," Stevens said, on June 25th, 1998. IF your special interest is SO valuable, why do you have to HIDE it in valuable legislation? So, with them REFUSING to PASS the Line Item Veto, in reality, the House and Senate have REALLY been controlling the country!! AND, with the CURRENT Senate and Congress having the WORST approval rating in HISTORY, hopefully we will see a LOT of changes after the general elections. A recent Reuters poll is out and Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid have pulled an upset: They have managed to make George Walker Bush twice as popular as CONGRESS. RECENTLY - - JUST 13% of Likely Voters now say the DEMOCRATICALLY CONTROLLED Congress is doing a good or excellent job. A recent Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey found that 43% give Congress a poor rating. Those results represent a slight decrease from the previous month, when 15% gave Congress a good or excellent rating. Democrats generally believe in heavy fines for honest work, while rewarding sloth and indulgence. Do YOU think that people should be able to do absolutely nothing productive and get government hand-outs for sloth and indulgence - healthcare, tobacco, alcohol, drugs, STDs, etc. ?? Do YOU want to have YOUR MONEY TAKEN from YOU and YOUR FAMILY to FINANCE these people ??? . JUNIOR U. S. Senator Obama did NOT complete his FIRST term in office !! ... with just 143 days of ACTUAL experience ... HE decided ... that he DESERVED to be THE President of THE United States of America !!! . TAXES ... TAXES ... AND ... MORE TAXES ... are what is driving American corporations to downsize in America and expand in "friendlier" countries !!! .
i love it.
