as i understand it, marine1 shuttles him from the white house to dulles, where he boards airforce1, which is accompanied by a second 747 (which contains his armored convoy) and at least 1 fighter escort. when he lands in texas, the armored convoy takes him to the ranch. he has satellite and helicopter survilence while in route. this assuredly costs much more, each way, than whatever rediculous amount of energy his home uses per year.
