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 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 residence of the President of the United States , George W. Bush.
Yet another example of hypocrisy from Algore, what an inconvenient truth! And why is it that this isn’t reported in the MSM?

House # 2 is not showing up.
Every other picture renders OK.
You should put these pictures up on a picture hosting site instead of stealing other people’s bandwidth.

Sorry it wasn’t intentional.

Well done.

Thanks for the heads up.

No problem! I’m sure that Gore just sold himself plenty of carbon credits when he built the place. Why, if you think of things in terms of OVERALL greenhouse emissions, Al Gore is WAY better than George Bush. After all, George Bush is apparently responsible for everything that every American does, everywhere, ever–technically, Al Gore’s big house is a tally mark on George Bush’s “failure” slate!
