This 4,000 square foot house has geothermal heat pumps that limit electricity use and provide year-long heat and air conditioning. The system only uses 25% of the electricity that traditional heating and cooling systems use. The home also collects water from it's showers, sinks and toilets, runs it through an underground filtration system and stores it in a 25,000 gallon cistern with rainwater collected from the roof. The water cistern is later used to irrigate the landscaping around the property.
The other guy has a 10,000 sq. ft., 20 room mansion where the reported electric bill for the year was $30,000.00. It used nearly 221,000kWh which is more than 20 times the national average.... and this is just one of his 3 homes. This truley is "an inconvenient truth" for this guy.
Again..... no one talking about this.
