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. per month. In >natural gas alone, this property consumes more than 20 times the >national average for an American ho me. 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 #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 personal residence of the President of the > United States , George W. Bush. > >What an 'inconvenient truth'. Love them environmentalist note key word in middle "mental". Who is Mathew G or Julio the spic?

- Actually, I dont give a crap about either politician. Because thats what they are, (You too, Al Bore). A politican - not an environmentalist. Am I supposed to believe that fraud Gore has the best interest of the environment in mind when he will use his political influence to impose soft-marxism on my American freedoms? BS I say!
- gore does not care about the environment, he just wants to be hip. Most leftist that i know that preach we need to save the environment just slap environmental stickers on their suv's
- So who is really trying to save the planet? The Pope
