This is the first time I've heard about President Bush's ecologically friendly home.
I saw a TV show about the house. It was a great show, and showed some of the equipment in the house. W was there in the show, but was quite modest about it all.
The house is one of the most eco-friendly I've seen.
See this 2001 article from the Chicago Tribune.

I have know about it for some time but it is true that he is very quiet about it. Of course it is not in the man's nature to toot his own horn.
Remember when modesty, frugality and humility were considered virtues to be admired in a leader?
