A Tale of Two Houses


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 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 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.  The heating/cooling system is so efficient that initial plans to install solar panels were cancelled.

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 former President of the United States , George W. Bush.



Yes, it's "An inconvenient truth.."

Like I said... 'Don't know if it's true, but... 'wouldn't be surprised it it was.

Al Gore is full of shit

This has been around for a long time.

I have no reason to doubt it being truthful.

my understanding is it is the truth, I do know Bush, in building Camp Crawford did go as green as possible and has a small footprint in its relationship to flaura an fauna..I was covered quite a bit during an interview early in his second term.
I have no problem beleiving Gore being a power sucking tick and his Arrogance is aimed at making YOU live in a cave, NOT HIM and His....he is better than us..remember that, it is the mantra of the Progressive,,they know and are better than us working class morons

 

Algore also drives 4 different Clincoln Navigators that help heat the planet, if you believe that BS. His complete forte'  is to push for greener technologies (that he's heavily invested in) by crying out how we're killing the planet. That's convenient...

Al Gore cannot afford to pave his driveway?

It actually looks like my house. Complete with fences.

That is an another disgusting example of the Libtards' and their "Do as I say, not as I do" politics. I am sure they explain it away in their own minds as "their leadership warrants it" though. Their own realities an "inconvenient truth". Fucking hypocrites... All I can say openly is that I wish an bad "case of the clap" on all of them.

Camp Crawford is awesome.  That sounds like my dream home.  I had no idea about any of this.  Thanks for posting.

For what it's worth, Al Gore supposedly offsets carbon emissions by purchasing carbon credits - he essentially pays others to emit less, so that his net impact is zero. That's the justification given, anyway.



The similarities to the practice of selling Indulgences is so funny, that I almost can't believe it wasn't conceived in the mind of a fiction author.

In before the Al Gore pic with shit coming out of his mouth!

That's stretching it a bit.  Geothermal is fairly widespread and is affordable if built in.  Water collection is nothing new.  Didn't see any mention of PV but that would probably cost the most out of all the components.

I intend to build many of those items into my next house.

Ha, what a tool Al Gore is.  Thats putting it nicely...

I've heard this before. Pretty sure its true.

algore's pathetic response.  Goddam he sure is confident that there's nothing wrong with his house:

***
Kalee Kreider, a spokesperson for the Gores, did not dispute the Center's figures, taken as they were from public records. But she pointed out that both Al and Tipper Gore work out of their home and she argued that "the bottom line is that every family has a different carbon footprint. And what Vice President Gore has asked is for families to calculate that footprint and take steps to reduce and offset it."

A carbon footprint is a calculation of the CO2 fossil fuel emissions each person is responsible for, either directly because of his or her transportation and energy consumption or indirectly because of the manufacture and eventual breakdown of products he or she uses. (You can calculate your own carbon footprint on the website http://www.carbonfootprint.com/)

The vice president has done that, Kreider argues, and the family tries to offset that carbon footprint by purchasing their power through the local Green Power Switch program — electricity generated through renewable resources such as solar, wind, and methane gas, which create less waste and pollution. "In addition, they are in the midst of installing solar panels on their home, which will enable them to use less power," Kreider added. "They also use compact fluorescent bulbs and other energy efficiency measures and then they purchase offsets for their carbon emissions to bring their carbon footprint down to zero."

Whew, that was close.  

You better watch out before Gore kicks you off his internet for bringing such things to light.

OMFG... That's classic.

 

   Oh Al you disappoint me ..........yeah right.  

 

Soooooooo, he can shut off all the natural gas he is using now ?  That's rich.......

More evidence of Al Gore's hypocrisy, USA Today

It doesn't matter whether people can afford it or not, the point is that two people with a lot of money to spend took different paths in building very expensive houses, and the one screaming at all of us to Save the Earf incorporated none of the energy saving methods he wants to dictate to all of us, and the supposedly Earth trashing Republican went eco friendly.
