This is a very interesting piece,

House 1:

The four-bedroom home was planned so that "every room has a relationship

with something in the landscape and that's different from the room next

door. Each of the rooms feels like a slightly different place." The

resulting single-story house is a paragon of environmental planning. The

passive-solar house is built of honey-colored native limestone and

positioned to absorb winter sunlight, warming the interior walkways and

walls of the 4,000-square-foot residence. Geothermal heat pumps circulate

water through pipes buried 300 feet deep in the ground. These waters pass

through a heat exchange system that keeps the home warm in winter and cool

in summer. A 25,000-gallon underground cistern collects rainwater gathered

from roof urns; wastewater from sinks, toilets, and showers cascades into

underground purifying tanks and is also funneled into the cistern. The water

from the cistern is then used to irrigate the landscaping around the

four-bedroom home, (which) uses indigenous grasses, shrubs, and flowers to

complete the exterior treatment of the home. In addition to its minimal

environmental impact, the look and layout of the house reflect one of the

paramount priorities: relaxation. A spacious 10-foot porch wraps completely

around the residence and beckons the family outdoors. With few hallways to

speak of, family and guests make their way from room to room either directly

or by way of the porch. "The house doesn't hold you in. Where the porch ends

there is grass. There is no step-up at all." This house consumes 25% of the

energy of an average American home. (Source: Cowboys and Indians Magazine,

Oct. 2002 and Chicago Tribune April 2001.)

House 2:

This 20-room, 8-bathroom house consumes more electricity every month than

the average American household uses in an entire year. The average household

in America consumes 10,656 kilowatt-hours (kWh) per year, according to the

Department of Energy. In 2006, this house devoured nearly 221,000 kWh, more

than 20 times the national average. Last August alone, the house burned

through 22,619 kWh, guzzling more than twice the electricity in one month

than an average American family uses in an entire year. As a result of this

energy consumption, the average monthly electric bill topped $1,359. Also,

natural gas bills for this house and guest house averaged $1,080 per month

last year. In total, this house had nearly $30,000 in combined electricity

and natural gas bills for 2006. (Source: Associated Press, and elsewhere)

Amazing, isn't it, that hoards of sheep are willing to give every penny they have to further the agenda of the biggest hypocrite and liar in the history of the United States.

I hope that someday, some brave reporter decides to swim against the stream and do a little investigative reporting and find out how much Gore made off this scam he's working now. Seriously, this dude has to be laughing himself to sleep each night at how gullible some people are.

SSDD for Gore:

He wonders and generates fears about public education in 2000.

Truth: He has NEVER been to a public school as a student nor parent, neither have his kids.

He wonders and generates fears about global warming in 2007.

Truth: He has NEVER taken one action as an activist in this personal life to make a hill of beans difference.
