Hey Liberals explain this Hippies!?

LOOK OVER THE DESCRIPTIONS OF THE FOLLOWING TWO HOUSES AND SEE IF YOU CAN TELL WHICH BELONGS TO AN ENVIRONMENTALIST.



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 ALONE this mansion consumes more energy than the average American household in an ENTIRE YEAR. The average bill for electricity and natural gas runs over $2, 400.00 per month. In natural gas alone (which last time we checked was a fossil fuel), this property consumes more than 20 times the national average for an American home. This house is not in a northern or Midwestern "snow belt," either. 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 contains only 4,000 square feet (4 bedrooms) and is nestled on arid 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 winter and cools it in summer. The system uses no fossil fuels such as oil or natural gas, and it consumes 25% of 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. Flowers and shrubs native to the area blend the property into the surrounding rural landscape.



HOUSE # 1 (20 room energy guzzling mansion) is outside of Nashville , Tennessee . It is the abode of that renowned environmentalist (and filmmaker) Al Gore.



HOUSE # 2 (model eco-friendly house) is on a ranch near Crawford , Texas . Also known as "the Texas White House," it is the private residence of the President of the United States , George W. Bush.



So whose house is gentler on the environment? Yet another story you WON'T hear on CNN, CBS, ABC, NBC, MSNBC or read about in the New York Times or the Washington Post. Indeed, for Mr. Gore, it's truly " an inconvenient truth."

I agree map.



I want to know why a person needs to resort to name calling and can not just ask an intelligent question, why bother asking a question at all if you have already prejudiced yourself to the answers you are going to receive.
Reply:not fair! gore pays for his carbon credits. never mind most of the companies that sell these "credits" are under fraud investigations.
Reply:i'm with map
Reply:The real question is, do you or do you not believe that the environment needs to be protected?



From your outrage, I assume you are incensed by whichever house is not eco-friendly - so, are you an environmentalist?
Reply:So youre attacking an entire group of people who as a whole are trying to make the world better, just because one of the big ones (that many of us disagree with) is a hypocrite? Where is the intelligence in that?



I am an enviromentalists, I think Al Gore is an idiot.
Reply:Wow now thats a question..... man that got me thinking...... I think I'm almost stumped on that one..... I would probably answer that but kind of busy wiping my ***........................................
Reply:Because I'm a liberal I'm supposed to defend Al Gore ?



His politics are far more right wing than left



He %26amp; Clinton destroyed the values and principles of the Democratic Party by going corporate and taking the Democratic Party to the right of the Eisenhower administration



(Because of Clinton-Gore a conservative like Eisenhower would be labeled a "liberal" today)



I've never supported Al Gore. I'm a liberal



Have at him right winger...he's all yours
