President Obama said in a speech last week that “insulation is sexy.” For those of us in the business, this was obvious, but we were still glade to hear it. The folks at Energy Savvy have a very funny remix of this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FoxbJiY4JNI&feature=player_embedded)
All humor aside, there are some very important points made:
- Energy efficient retrofits need labor, primarily construction labor.
- Efficiency helps the consumer by saving them money and making their houses more comfortable.
- It helps us (The USA) meet our energy needs – we need to reduce our energy dependance on foreign and non-renewable sources. Greater efficiency helps.
If you want to get deeper into the status of pending legislation or how to get more involved, check out Efficiency First. They lay out the current status of much of the legislation that is pending on a national level.
