Good thing he uses a few CFLs, he might be using 0.001% more energy without those
Actually ERD if the Gore house is typical in it's percentage used for lighting (20%) then the savings would be about 15%.

I agree with your base points, just not the exagerated .001%.

Bush is smart, geothermal energy is far more cost effiecient than other alternative energies. I also applaud him for his work when he was the Texas gov. in increasing the amount of energy from wind power.

So to bring this back to the original topic, I would highly recommend geothermal before solar. If you want to go solar, and have not gone the geothermal route, solar water heating systems are much more cost efficient than solar electricity.
