This is the first post in the Steal This Real Estate Blog Post category. And when I say, you can steal this post, I mean it. These posts are designed as controverisal or fun articles that will drive in traffic and emotionally engage it so you can jump start your real estate blog. These types of posts can be used once a month to keep your blog alive. We will be adding at least one post to this category each week, so you will never run out of our crazy and inciting ideas. Why would we do this? because we know your time is best spent doing business instead of writing blog posts.
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 this residence consumes more energy than the
average American household does in a year. The average bill for electricity
and natural gas runs over $2400. per month. In natural gas alone, this
property co nsumes more than 20 times the national average for an American
home. This house is not situated in a Northern or Midwestern "snow belt"
area. 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 is 4,000 square feet ( 4 bedrooms ) and is nestled on
a 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 the winter and cools it
in the summe r. The system uses no fossil fuels such as oil or natural gas
and it consumes one-quarter 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 hou se. Surrounding
flowers and shrubs native to the area enable the property to blend into the
surrounding rural landscape.
Now, for the clincher:
HOUSE #1 is outside of Nashville , Tennessee ; it is the abode of the
"environmentalist" Al Gore.
HOUSE #2 is on a ranch near Crawford , Texas; is the residence of the President of the United
States ,
George W. Bush.
Is this an "inconvenient truth?"
