Homes built over ten years ago were not insulated to the levels they are today. It is important to have your insulation evaluated to see if you need it replaced or added on to.

I agree that the real cause has been drowned in a sea of regulatory hoops to jump through. Still by actually making all of the documentation clearer people could easily know what they're getting into. I think the possible solutions you propose make sense, but who do you contact to actually suggest these solutions?

I'm sure these figures are created by the same people who keep telling us how many jobs have been created by the stimulus fiasco. If people wanted cars that need to be plugged in after 100 miles, an enterprising company would produce them, if it could be done cost effectively. The feds need to quit pushing this idea with my money, thank you. Do you really believe that pumping 12 billion dollars worth of debt into a project will cause the price of batteries to decrease?
