Which house is energy efficient and environmentally responsible, and which house is wasteful and destroying the planet?

The United Kingdom’s Prince Charles lashed out at his critics in an impassioned defense of his environmental views. “I have been the victim of unbelievable abuse for my efforts to promote a better environment,” he said.
According to the Prince, “too many people are living too lavishly for the good of the planet. They consume too much in every phase of their lives—too much housing, too much food, too much travel, too much entertainment, you name it.”
Charles asserted that “technology is destroying man’s contact with nature. Rather than living simply, the average man now expects science to intervene to save him from the nasty, brutish, and short existence that is more in tune with what is natural. This may seem good in the short run to the short-sighted person, but it is bad for the planet.”
The Prince vowed to take his crusade “to every corner of the world” and “spare no expense in a cause too vital to be turned aside by the squawking of the ignorant masses.” In line with this vow, the Prince’s aides are negotiating with agents of former US Vice-President Al Gore for a joint, five-continent tour “to urge the common people to lead more frugal lives for the sake of the environment.”

Bah! Didn’t notice this was satire. Can’t tell the difference these days.
Can't figure out why a prince telling people to not live too lavishly might encourage that abuse?
Look up "let them eat cake" on Wikipedia and see if that gives you a clue numbskull.
Dayum, you beat me to it!!! LOL
Just noticed the satire too, but I believe he did say something similar.
Bloody wanker twit.
LOL
Which house is energy efficient and environmentally responsible, and which house is wasteful and destroying the planet?
So true. Satire today - legislation tomorrow. L
Oprah did a program on just such a topic about 2-3 weeks ago. She went over to the Netherlands and "marvelled" at how people there are "able to live with so much less stuff than we do here in the US." "We need to learn from them..." blah, blah, blah.
I was completely disgusted. Oprah the Billionaire ain't gonna give up sh**, but will try to shame the rest of us into living without cars, 100 sq. ft of personal space, government run everything. And the mindless, brainless, stupid audience members just clap and smile.
I guess that's why he has a TIRE PRESSURE GAUGE tucked into the top of his woolly sock when wearing a kilt....
Just to check those tire pressures on the Royal Rolls,
I love it when adulterous, parasitical, self indulgent, self righteous, condescending, elitist fops like Prince Charlie boy tell other people how to live and think.
It’s no sweat off of his rich a$$ to do so. He’s never going to have to live “simply”.
I consume, therefor I am.
Oops, just noticed that this is satire.
Just in case though, here’s my outrage.

over this: 
Tells us all we need to know
While the wax statue of Princess Diana is not a really good likeness of her, it is head and shoulders prettier than that old dog Camilla..oh wait...she is a horse.
Once upon a time I saw a picture of Charles on a horse that had it’s mane styled like you know who..
Yes, of course he does, from the lavish and rich surroundings of which of his castles? =.=
I have seen car wreck prettier than camilla
