FACT CHECK: A Tale of Two Houses

Talk about calling the Kettle BLACK....This proves even more that the GORE'S are totally hypocritical.
I received an email from my dad today about two different houses. One owned by the Gore's and the other by the Bush's. Here is the email....to make sure it is a true story, I went on a research spree and found it to be TRUE...even SNOPES...a far left site said it's TRUE...though they tried to sort of make it seem not true by stating the information is outdated and the GORE'S went out and did some upgrades...however they were not able to prove the upgrades did any good.
Anyway, I found this to be interesting. It's too bad all houses and or subdivisions can't be built like the Bush's house...it's not cost effective.
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 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 s surrounding rural landscape.
