    Worse than the devil we know: Story is the definition of irony

    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 are! a 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.

    Great research work. That's all I can say.

    Where is Irak? I looked on the globe and couldn't find it. Is it near that Rand McNally Island?
