Bush Crawford House is Super Green
Ecological Design Center ^ | 2-26-07 | Tree Hugger

Posted on 02/26/2007 5:22:01 PM PST by Serious Capitalist

Is it possible that George Bush is a secret Green? Evidently his Crawford Winter White House has 25,000 gallons of rainwater storage, gray water collection from sinks and showers for irrigation, passive solar, geothermal heating and cooling. “By marketplace standards, the house is startlingly small,” says David Heymann, the architect of the 4,000-square-foot home. "Clients of similar ilk are building 16-to-20,000-square-foot houses." Furthermore for thermal mass the walls are clad in "discards of a local stone called Leuders limestone, which is quarried in the area. The 12-to-18-inch-thick stone has a mix of colors on the top and bottom, with a cream-colored center that most people want. “They cut the top and bottom of it off because nobody really wants it,” Heymann says. “So we bought all this throwaway stone. It’s fabulous. It’s got great color and it is relatively inexpensive.”

It's not enough! Bush needs to be rubbing sticks together in the wild for heat and hunting and gathering for food < /Moonbat envirowackos >

It would be removed in a heart beat. Liberals can't handle the truth.

150 people use the state of the art gym in our apt bldg. and it's QUITE small!! A basketball gym for someone who never played basketball sounds a LITTLE sad.

The amount of cool, creative and green products for homes has really taken off in the past few years. Bamboo, cork and recycled glass tiles are great, though still on the expensive side.

You say Gore/Edwards VS. W is a contrast in "egos".

Maybe their gigantic homes are COMPENSATING for something?

It looks like Edwards built stables for his wife and kids. Maybe he's trying to tell them something...

IIRC, the Breck Girl's barn is actually a state-of-the-art gym with a basketball court.

Oh, that's right. I forgot which America he lived in.

Maybe the President should invite Gore to his Ranch to show him how it is done.
