sorry george, you're still not getting an oscar...

We put in a geothermal system when we built new four years ago. Cheap heat and cool from 4 200 foot wells under the driveway.

I wonder if the news media will report on the Sierra Club/NRDC's retreats.

[Lecie]

I know it's most likely a repeat article, but I'm just grateful that someone in the Senate, specifically Senator Inhofe's office, has also noticed the The Chicago Tribune article.

Gore Lied

[xcamel]

did you see the word "Dupe" in my response?

[rabidralph]

This is very old news and probably reported in only one news cycle, never to be mentioned again, while Gore, Streisand and other "ecologically-correct" liberals jet around the country, screaming about the fragile environment, while incandescent lights burn in their empty, but fully-climate controlled homes year-round.

Former Vice President Al Gore has been criticized for his rather large electric bills ($30,000 a year) at his home in Tennessee. http://tennesseepolicy.org/main/article.php?article_id=367

That's awesome! That information needs to be disseminated as widely as possible.

"W" Walking the Walk while Al-Gore is talking the talk (and Dunking the Donuts).

[SF Republican]

We use a similar system in the Mountains of Colorado. Pipes under the floor go through a hot water warmer, keeps the temp at 70 all winter with no blowing air, just warm water.

[msnimje]

Watch out, Al-Gore is going to demand a BTU recount.

Sad that even President Bush has fallen for enviro-wacko ism.

[Politicalmom]

Being thrifty and conserving energy is not "enviro-wackoism".

We recently put in a new heating/air system, and if we could have afforded it we would have gone geothermal.

Why throw away money on excess energy usage?

[cubreporter]

I don't think he has "fallen" for anything. I do think we all need to be a little more careful but President Bush went a little further while Gore continues to BLOAT (in more ways than one.)

Sad that even President Bush has fallen for enviro-wacko ism.

So...I guess YOU just burn stacks of dollar bills in your stove....

[SueRae]

Thank you for posting this - cuz I can safely bet I won't see it/read about it on CNN.

[skeptoid]

I don't see anything wrong with what the Bush's have done here. They built a beautiful, comfortable custom home in the country that will COST LESS to heat and cool and doesn't use any outlandish components. They are also managing their rainfall and grey water.

This exemplifies good "stewardship" and wise use.

I am not surprised.
