More on Weatherization By: Greg Pollowitz Planet Gore Just remember: the same folks that want to caulk your house now want to be in charge of your health care: <<< A special report from the U.S. Department of Energy shows only 5% of planned weatherization improvements utilizing stimulus funds have been completed one year after the program started. Some states haven't completed any of their planned improvements. Delaware, which received $13.7 million for weatherization efforts such as caulking and insulating, has completed 34% of it's planned improvements, the highest percentage of any state. While the state's size does play a role, Delaware's stimulus "czar," Lt. Governor Matt Denn says the state's culture of cooperation helps too. "There are a number of small states that haven't done nearly as well as Delaware has, not even a fraction as well as Delaware has," Denn said. "So, having small size and knowing one another and having worked with one another in the past certainly helps, but I think it's also the quality of the people who are doing the work." As for other states in the region, Pennsylvania has done less than 2% of it's weatherization, while New Jersey has done less than half a percent. >>> planetgore.nationalreview.com
