It was cold this winter :shrug:
And I get electricity from a cooperative so they can charge whatever they want, and it is A LOT more than other companies charge...
Oh yeah, the hot tub too...
The only chance i have of being under 225 is this month. Don't ever buy a house where the additions were built out instead of up. What was i thinking?:shrug:

Oh yeah, one more thing.... My company offers wind energy for a little extra money per month, which I get. Whew...that should slip me back into the "liberal" camp.
Never mind, sam. I found plenty of information about the house online myself. It is a passive solar design, with lots of southern exposure to the sun in winter. I'll bet our President has a very low winter heating bill. More homes should be designed this way.
Why the heck doesn't he talk more about the environment and conservation, since he obviously considers it to be something of value? He has said that we are "addicted to oil" in past state of the union and other addresses, but where is his alternative plan.
Does President Bush have an alternative plan?

Your heating is electric?
I assumed heating was gas bill. Maybe that not true for everyone.
It's not so much Bush - he really doesn't think for himself. He's owned by many people who will not profit from his endorsements of conservation. Too bad. His Texas house sounds pretty cool - it should receive more attention.

True it is not true. The people who lived there before me unhooked the active solar (it just heats the hot water now whereas before it did the forced air heat as well) and installed electric baseboard heat
As soon as I can afford it I will hook the solar back up...have pretty good passive solar though.
I had read about Bush's house before as well, and it is commendable. Gore is being a hypocrite, even if he does offset the usage with green energy credits as he claims.
I was taught the three R's in elementary school, and the first one is REDUCE
