This 4,000 square foot house has geothermal heat pumps that limit electricity use and provide year-long heat and air conditioning. The system only uses 25% of the electricity that traditional heating and cooling systems use. The home also collects water from it’s showers, sinks and toilets, runs it through an underground filtration system and stores it in a 25,000 gallon cistern with rainwater collected from the roof. The water cistern is later used to irrigate the landscaping around the property.
The other guy has a 10,000 sq. ft., 20 room mansion where the reported electric bill for the year was ,000.00. It used nearly 221,000kWh which is more than 20 times the national average…. and this is just one of his 3 homes. This truley is "an inconvenient truth" for this guy.
Again….. no one talking about this.
these facts don’t fit your point of view JJ? Kind of sucks when you find out your leader is a fraud. But… you have every right to continue to support Gore and his myth… You can find plenty of questions and answers here that are "made up" to fit your agenda…. don’t be bothered with the facts on this one.
uh… Shuana… I’m talking about George Bush’s Home… not the white house… and no… green electricity does not cost 10 times more… actually it’s not quite twice as much…. but even if it was 10 times more…. he still uses 20 times more than the national average…. and I wonder why when this report came out he is suddenly making all these improvements to "green" up his home… yes, I have done my research… you should do more and stop being an appologist for someone who clearly does not believe or support what he preaches… its embarrasing
uh Frankie… where does electricity come from?
JJ…did I at any point in this question link his environmentally sound home to any other statement or decision, good or bad, that he has made to give him a "free pass" on the poor decisions made?
You are the one who is trying to link everything you dissagree with to this question and you are trying to discredit his actions. The way someone personally lives says a lot about them. Al Gore abviously doesn’t put too much stock into his theory.
This question is soley to discuss Al Gore’s Hypocrisy vs. George Bush’s conservation. IT IS CLEAR… NO MATTER HOW MUCH YOU WANT TO TRY AND SPIN IT. If you want to discuss other topics about George or AL ask the question… I’ll look for it.
BTW JJ… read the link provided to you by Scott just below your statement… then ask me about Fossil Fuels.
oh off sets are great huh JJ… so basically…. if you can afford it… you can live any way you like… wow!! That is really caring about the environment huh!
You are so right… more research needed… OH… anything else you would like to give your mentor a free pass on? Does his private Jet run off green fuel too? I’m just curious… oh thats right…. he throws a lot of money into his fake company to "offset" his use…. silly me!
